CAS 20537-88-6: Amifostine

Description: Amifostine, with the CAS number 20537-88-6, is a cytoprotective agent primarily used to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It is a phosphorylated derivative of the naturally occurring amino acid cysteine and acts as a free radical scavenger, thereby protecting normal tissues from oxidative damage. Amifostine is known for its ability to mitigate nephrotoxicity associated with certain chemotherapeutic agents, particularly cisplatin, and to reduce xerostomia (dry mouth) in patients undergoing head and neck radiation. The compound is administered intravenously or subcutaneously and is characterized by its rapid metabolism to its active form, which enhances its protective effects. Its chemical structure includes a thiol group, which is crucial for its antioxidant properties. While generally well-tolerated, amifostine can cause side effects such as hypotension, nausea, and vomiting. Its use is often tailored to individual patient needs, balancing the benefits of cytoprotection against potential adverse effects.
