Amifostine  (Synonyms: WR2721)

Cat. No.: HY-B0639 Purity: ≥98.0%
COA Handling Instructions

Amifostine (WR2721) is a broad-spectrum cytoprotective agent and a radioprotector. Amifostine selectively protects normal tissues from damage caused by radiation and chemotherapy. Amifostine is potent hypoxia-inducible factor-α1 (HIF-α1) and p53 inducer. Amifostine protects cells from damage by scavenging oxygen-derived free radicals. Amifostine reduces renal toxicity and has antiangiogenic action.

Description

Amifostine (WR2721) is a broad-spectrum cytoprotective agent and a radioprotector. Amifostine selectively protects normal tissues from damage caused by radiation and chemotherapy. Amifostine is potent hypoxia-inducible factor-α1 (HIF-α1) and p53 inducer. Amifostine protects cells from damage by scavenging oxygen-derived free radicals. Amifostine reduces renal toxicity and has antiangiogenic action[1][2][3][4].

In Vitro

Amifostine (0.78125-100 μM, 24 h) reduces tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-induced cell damage in a dose-dependent manner and significantly reduces H9c2 cells apoptosis at a concentration of 100 μM[5].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

In Vivo

Amifostine (i.v., 400 mg/kg, 4 h) has a protective effect against myocardial I/R injury in male C57BL/6 mice[5].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Male C57BL/6 mice with myocardial I/R injury[5]
Dosage: 400 mg/kg
Administration: Intravenous injection; 4 hours
Result: Attenuated cardiomyocyte apoptosis and reduced the production of I/R-induced ROS.
Significantly reduced the expression of cleaved caspase 3 and Bax while enhanced the expression of SOD1, SOD2 and Bcl2.
Significantly increased SOD activity and reduced MDA levels.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
