amifostine anhydrous and Neuroblastoma

amifostine anhydrous has been researched along with Neuroblastoma in 8 studies

Amifostine: A phosphorothioate proposed as a radiation-protective agent. It causes splenic vasodilation and may block autonomic ganglia.
amifostine : An organic thiophosphate that is the S-phospho derivative of 2-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]ethanethiol. A prodrug for the free thiol, WR-1065, which is used as a cytoprotectant in cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

Neuroblastoma: A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome. (From DeVita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, pp2099-2101; Curr Opin Oncol 1998 Jan;10(1):43-51)

" Doxorubicin, vincristine, etoposide, cisplatin, 4-hydroperoxycyclophosphamide and 4-hydroperoxyifosfamide were equally cytotoxic with and without preincubation of WR-2721 (14 mM) or WR-1065 (40 microM) as shown by virtually identical dose-response curves and ID50 values."1.30Effects of WR-2721 (amifostine) and its metabolite WR-1065 on the antiproliferative activity of chemotherapeutic agents on neuroblastoma cells in vitro.
