Amifostine sodium is a phosphorothioate proposed as a radiation-protective agent. It causes splenic vasodilation and may block autonomic ganglia. | [Uses]
Amifostine sodium (WR2721 sodium) is a phosphorus sulfate with radioprotective activity. Amifostine sodium can cause splenic vasodilation and may block autonomic ganglia. Amifostine sodium is clinically used to prevent cisplatin-induced ototoxicity[1]. | [References]
