For example, Dr. Movsas was the principal investigator of the largest national randomized study of a radioprotector, called amifostine, to reduce radiation injury in lung cancer patients.

Ok, here's an interesting fact about the Apollo programme: the US astronauts reputedly took supplies of the radioprotective drug (now referred to as) amifostine.

NASA were concerned about the occurrence of a solar flare en route to the moon; amifostine scavenges the free radicals caused by the passage of ionising radiation through cellular matter, and thereby reduces the chances of such radicals causing irreparable cellular damage.

The company continues to selectively sell pantoprazole sodium, a generic version of Wyeth's heartburn drug Protonix, and amifostine injection, a generic version of MedImmune Oncology Inc. 's 500 milligram Ethyol injection.

To date, the only such prophylactic product to receive approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is Ethyol® (amifostine), which was originally discovered through the U.S. Army Research and Development Command's Anti-radiation Drug Development Program.

Taken together, our results indicate that amifostine treatment modulates tumour angiogenesis by two apparently opposite mechanisms - the increased VEGF-A expression by tumour cells and the inhibition of EC capacity to respond to VEGF-A stimulation.

Nevertheless, direct treatment of EC with amifostine impaired their ability to respond to exogenous VEGF-A, an effect that correlated to the down-regulation of VEGFR-2 expression, to the reduction in cell surface binding of VEGF-A and to the decreased phosphorylation of the downstream p42/44 kinases.
