Amifostine, also known by its brand name Ethyol, is a medication used in cancer treatment and certain medical procedures to reduce the toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy on healthy tissues. It belongs to a class of drugs called cytoprotective agents. These agents are designed to help protect normal cells from the harmful effects of cancer treatments, which can inadvertently damage healthy tissues while targeting cancer cells.
Amifostine works by acting as a scavenger for harmful free radicals and reactive oxygen molecules that are generated as a result of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. These free radicals can cause damage to tissues, cells and DNA, contributing to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and damage to the mucous membranes and other healthy tissues. Amifostine is administered intravenously (IV) before chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The aim is to decrease the negative impact of cancer treatment on healthy cells by neutralizing the harmful effects of free radicals. As a result, patients may experience less severe side effects and an overall better treatment experience, leading to an improved quality of life.
