Inhibition of cardiotoxic, nephrotoxic and neurotoxic effects of doxorubicin by ICRF-159. 1983

S Tian Hu, and E Brändle, and G Zbinden

Cardiotoxicity of doxorubicin, 2 mg/kg i.p. twice weekly in rats, was assessed by serial electrocardiography and electron microscopy. The toxic effects were markedly inhibited by ICRF-159, 50 mg/kg p.o. given 1 h before doxorubicin. The development of nephropathy characterized by proteinuria, hyperlipidemia and glomerular and tubular changes was significantly retarded, and the degenerative changes of peripheral nerves were markedly reduced. On the other hand, ICRF-159 enhanced the depressant effects of doxorubicin on bone marrow function. Doxorubicin reduced body weight gain, caused ascites, decrease in heart and thymus weight, and increase in liver and kidney weight. These changes were also inhibited or attenuated by ICRF-159 pretreatment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.
