Pulmonary protective efficacy of S-2[2-aminoethylamino] ethyl phenyl sulphide (DRDE-07) and its analogues against sulfur mustard induced toxicity in mice. ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY 2020; 76:103333. [PMID: 32062414 DOI: 10.1016/j.etap.2020.103333] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2019] [Revised: 12/27/2019] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Our previous study showed that percutaneous sulfur mustard (SM) exposure induced pulmonary toxicity, which was attenuated by DRDE-07 (S-2[2-aminoethylamino] ethyl phenyl sulphide) pretreatment. The present study aimed to evaluate the protective efficacy of DRDE-07 and its analogues viz., DRDE-30 (S-2(2-aminoethyl amino)ethyl propyl sulphide) and DRDE-35 (S-2(2-aminoethyl amino)ethyl butyl sulphide) against SM. Thirty minutes before percutaneous SM (0.8 LD50) exposure, female Swiss mice were orally gavaged with DRDE-07 and its analogues(0.2 LD50). Animals were sacrificed on day 3 and 7, BAL fluid (BALF) and lung tissue were collected for biochemical, histopathological studies. As results, DRDE-07 and its analogues were beneficial in reducing the number of BALF inflammatory cells, protein level, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and β-glucuronidase activity, while content of BALF and lung reduced glutathione level (GSH) were significantly protected. The pretreatment of DRDE-07 and its analogues inhibited the recruitment of inflammatory cells into the lung. The beneficial effects of DRDE-07 and its analogues were attributed to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Among the analogues, DRDE-30 exhibited significant beneficial effects as compared to the other two compounds. These analogues may be considered as prototype candidate molecules as there is no effective antidote for SM toxicity.

Abstract
The study was aimed at investigating the prophylactic efficacy of orally administered amifostine and a newly synthesized compound, S-2(2-amino-ethylamino)ethyl phenyl sulphide (DRDE-07), against dermally applied sulphur mustard (SM) in mice and rats. The LD50 values of amifostine and DRDE-07 were determined following oral and intraperitoneal routes and the LD50 of SM diluted in PEG-300 was determined following dermal route. Amifostine or DRDE-07 (equivalent to their 0.05 LD50, 0.10 LD50 and 0.20 LD50) dissolved in water was fed to mice and rats and, after 30 min, various doses of SM were applied to the hair-clipped area of the skin and were observed for 14 days for mortality. The protection index (PI) was calculated as a ratio of LD50 with treatment to LD50 without treatment. The estimated percutaneous LD50 of SM was found to be 8.1 and 2.4 mg///kg for female mice and male rats, respectively. A dose-related protection was observed with all the three doses of both compounds. Thirty minutes prior, the administration of amifostine in female mice offered a PI of 3.0 at the lowest pretreatment dose (52.5 mg// kg) followed by PI of 6.7 and 9.5 at 105 and 210 mg// /kg pretreatment doses, respectively. DRDE-07 offered better protection against SM in female mice, i.e., a PI of 4.8 at pretreatment dose of 62.5 mg// /kg, a PI of 12.0 at the dose of 124.7 mg///kg and a PI of 27.0 at the dose of 249.4 mg/kg. In male rats, DRDE-07 gave a PI of about 3.0 at all the three pretreatment doses (80, 160 and 320 mg///kg), whilst amifostine offered a PI of 3.1 at the highest pretreatment dose (452 mg///kg). The present study showed that oral administration of both amifostine and DRDE-07 was effective as a prophylactic agent for protecting against SM toxicity, and that DRDE-07 offered better protection.

SOD2-mediated adaptive responses induced by low-dose ionizing radiation via TNF signaling and amifostine. Free Radic Biol Med 2011; 51:1918-25. [PMID: 21945096 PMCID: PMC3200566 DOI: 10.1016/j.freeradbiomed.2011.08.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2011] [Revised: 08/22/2011] [Accepted: 08/29/2011] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2)-mediated adaptive processes that protect against radiation-induced micronucleus formation can be induced in cells after a 2-Gy exposure by previously exposing them to either low-dose ionizing radiation (10cGy) or WR1065 (40μM), the active thiol form of amifostine. Although both adaptive processes culminate in elevated levels of SOD2 enzymatic activity, the underlying pathways differ in complexity, with the tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα) signaling pathway implicated in the low-dose radiation-induced response, but not in the thiol-induced pathway. The goal of this study was the characterization of the effects of TNFα receptors 1 and 2 (TNFR1, TNFR2) on the adaptive responses induced by low-dose irradiation or thiol exposure using micronucleus formation as an endpoint. BFS-1 wild-type cells with functional TNFR1 and 2 were exposed 24h before a 2-Gy dose of ionizing radiation to either 10cGy or a 40μM dose of WR1065. BFS2C-SH02 cells, defective in TNFR1, and BFS2C-SH22 cells, defective in both TNFR1 and TNFR2 and generated from BFS2C-SH02 cells by transfection with a murine TNFR2-targeting vector and confirmed to be TNFR2 defective by quantitative PCR, were also exposed under similar conditions for comparison. A 10-cGy dose of radiation induced a significant elevation in SOD2 activity in BFS-1 (P<0.001) and BFS2C-SH02 (P=0.005) but not BFS2C-SH22 cells (P=0.433), compared to their respective untreated controls. In contrast, WR1065 significantly induced elevations in SOD2 activity in all three cell lines (P=0.001, P=0.007, P=0.020, respectively). A significant reduction in the frequency of radiation-induced micronuclei was observed in each cell line when exposure to a 2-Gy challenge dose of radiation occurred during the period of maximal elevation in SOD2 activity. However, this adaptive effect was completely inhibited if the cells were transfected 24h before low-dose radiation or thiol exposure with SOD2 siRNA. Under the conditions tested, TNFR1 and 2 inhibition negatively affected the low-dose radiation-induced but not the thiol-induced adaptive responses observed to be mediated by elevations in SOD2 activity.

Drde-07: a possible antidote for sulphur mustard toxicity. Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand) 2010; 56 Suppl:OL1334-OL1340.

Abstract
Chemical Warfare Agents are classified in various categories and vesicating agents are one among them. Vesicating agents are mostly mustard agents. Sulphur mustard which is chemically known as bis(2-chloro ethyl) sulphide (SM), was first used in World War-I and in recent past in Iran-Iraq war. Its possible use by the terrorist groups can't be overlooked in the present scenario. As the mode of its action is still lacking, no specific treatment is so far known against SM induced systemic toxicity. The major drawback with the development of antidote against sulphur mustard is low efficacy of the potential compounds in vivo models. This review summarizes the current update about the work done so far and the future strategies.

Prophylactic efficacy of combination of DRDE-07 and its analogues with amifostine against sulphur mustard induced systemic toxicity. INDIAN JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY 2010; 48:752-761.

Abstract
Sulphur mustard, [bis (2-chloroethyl)] sulphide (SM), is a bifunctional alkylating agent. SM forms sulphonium ion in the body which alkylates DNA and several other macromolecules, and induces oxidative stress. Although several antidotes have been screened for the treatment of systemic toxicity of SM in experimental animals none of them are recommended so far. In the search for more effective and less toxic antidotes, various combinations were tried against SM induced toxicity and skin lesions. SM exposed through percutaneous route was used to evaluate the prophylactic efficacy of various combinations. Low dose of DRDE-07 (S-2(2-aminoethylamino) ethyl phenyl sulphide), DRDE-30 [S-2(2-aminoethyl amino) ethyl propyl sulphide], DRDE-35 [S-2(2-aminoethyl amino) ethyl butyl sulphide] with amifostine combinations, were given orally 30 min prior to SM exposure. Significant depletion was observed in body weight, organ body weight index and hepatic GSH and GSSG content in mice after SM exposure. Pretreatment with low dose of different combinations of DRDE-07, DRDE-30 and DRDE-35 with amifostine could recover biochemical alterations and histopathological changes caused by SM exposures.

Relationship between phosphorylated histone H2AX formation and cell survival in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC) as a function of ionizing radiation exposure in the presence or absence of thiol-containing drugs. Radiat Res 2007; 168:106-14. [PMID: 17723002 PMCID: PMC1958995 DOI: 10.1667/rr0975.1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2007] [Accepted: 03/20/2007] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC) were exposed to ionizing radiation at doses ranging from 0 to 16 Gy in either the presence or absence of the active thiol forms of amifostine (WR1065), phosphonol (WR255591), N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), captopril or mesna. Each of these clinically relevant thiols, administered to HMEC at a dose of 4 mM for 30 min prior to irradiation, is known to exhibit antioxidant properties. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relationship(s), if any, between the frequency of radiation-induced histone H2AX phosphorylation at serine 139 (gamma-H2AX) in cells and subsequent survival, as assessed by colony-forming ability, in exposed cell populations as a function of the presence or absence of each of the five thiol compounds during irradiation. gamma-H2AX formation in irradiated cells, as a function of relative DNA content, was quantified by bivariant flow cytometry analysis with FITC-conjugated gamma-H2AX antibody and nuclear DAPI staining. gamma-H2AX formation in cells was measured as the relative fold increase as a function of the treatment conditions. The frequency of gamma-H2AX-positive cells increased with increasing dose of radiation followed by a dose- and time-dependent decay. The most robust response for gamma-H2AX formation occurred 1 h after irradiation with their relative frequencies decreasing as a function of time 4 and 24 h later. To assess the effects of the various thiols on gamma-H2AX formation, all measurements were made 1 h after irradiation. WR1065 was not only effective in protecting HMEC against gamma-H2AX formation across the entire dose range of radiation exposures used, but it was also significantly more cytoprotective than either its prodrug (WR2721) or disulfide (WR33278) analogue. WR1065 had no significant effect on gamma-H2AX formation when administered immediately or up to 30 min after radiation exposure. An inhibitory effect against gamma-H2AX formation induced by 8 Gy of radiation was expressed by each of the thiols tested. NAC, captopril and mesna were equally effective in reducing the frequency of gamma-H2AX formation, with both WR1065 and WR255591 exhibiting a slightly more robust protective effect. Each of the five thiols was effective in reducing the frequency of gamma-H2AX-positive cells across all phases of the cell cycle. In contrast to the relative ability of each of these thiols to inhibit gamma-H2AX formation after irradiation, NAC, captopril and mesna afforded no protection to HMEC as determined using a colony-forming survival assay. Only WR1065 and WR255591 were effective in reducing the frequencies of radiation-induced gamma-H2AX-positive cells as well as protecting against cell death. These results suggest that the use of gamma-H2AX as a biomarker for screening the efficacy of novel antioxidant radioprotective compounds is highly problematic since their formation and disappearance may be linked to processes beyond simply the formation and repair of radiation-induced DSBs.

Abstract
Sulfur mustard (SM), chemically bis (2-chloroethyl) sulfide is a bifunctional alkylating agent that causes serious blisters on contact with human skin. Although several antidotes have been reported for the systemic toxicity of SM in experimental animals none of them are approved so far and decontamination of SM immediately by physical or chemical means is recommended as the best protection. Two compounds amifostine [S-2(3-aminopropylamino) ethyl phosphorothioate] and DRDE-07 [S-2(2-aminoethylamino) ethyl phenyl sulfide] gave very good protection as an oral prophylactic agent against SM the in mouse model, but in the rat model the protection was only moderate. In the search for more effective and less toxic compounds, a number of analogues of DRDE-07 were synthesised and their protective efficacy was evaluated in mouse and rat models. The LD50 of S-aryl substitution was between 1 and 2 g kg(-1) and S-alkyl substitution was more than 2 g kg(-1). In the mouse model, DRDE-07, DRDE-10, DRDE-21, DRDE-30 and DRDE-35 gave about 20 fold protection, and DRDE-23 and DRDE-38 gave less protection of 4.8 and 9.0 fold respectively, against percutaneously administered SM. In the rat model, DRDE-07, DRDE-09, DRDE-10 and DRDE-21 gave about two fold protection. Percutaneously administered SM (19.33 mg kg(-1)) significantly depleted the hepatic GSH content in mice. Pretreatment with DRDE-21 significantly elevated the levels. A 4.4 fold increase in % DNA fragmentation was observed 7 days after SM administration (19.33 mg kg(-1)) in mice. Pretreatment with DRDE-07, DRDE-09, DRDE-10, DRDE-21, DRDE-30 and DRDE-35 significantly protected the mice from SM induced DNA damage. The histopathological lesions in liver and spleen induced by percutaneously administered SM was reduced by pretreatment with DRDE-07, DRDE-09, DRDE-10 and DRDE-21. These analogues may prove as prototypes for the designing of more effective prophylactic drug for SM.

Selective exclusion by the polyamine transporter as a mechanism for differential radioprotection of amifostine derivatives. Clin Cancer Res 2002; 8:1295-300.

Abstract
Amifostine metabolites WR-1065 and the disulfide WR-33278 are thiol-containing polyamine analogues with potent radio- and chemoprotective properties. Some studies suggest that amifostine exerts differential cytoprotection in normal versus neoplastic tissues, but this finding remains controversial. To assess the role of the polyamine transport system in radioprotection by amifostine derivatives, human DU-145 prostate cancer cells were transfected with a cDNA that encodes antizyme (OAZ), a polyamine-inducible protein that suppresses polyamine transport under control of a minimal heat shock promoter. Selected clones expressing OAZ displayed heat shock-dependent suppression of polyamine uptake. When added to culture medium under nonreducing conditions, both WR-1065 and WR-33278 were detected as the disulfide form. Each derivative protected both parental and OAZ-transfected DU-145 cells from X-ray-induced cell killing at 37 degrees C. When cultures were heat shocked at 42 degrees C, both derivatives protected parental, but not OAZ-transfected cells from radiation-induced cell killing. Treatment of DU-145 cells with difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) suppressed intracellular putrescine and spermidine content, but increased the uptake of WR-33278-derived aminothiols. The concentration-dependent radioprotection of DU-145 cells by WR-33278 was enhanced by DFMO. Addition of exogenous putrescine reduced WR-33278-mediated radioprotection in both DFMO-treated and untreated DU-145 cells. These data demonstrate that negative regulation of the polyamine transporter, mediated by polyamines or antizyme, suppresses the uptake and radioprotective activity of amifostine derivatives. Selective exclusion of amifostine derivatives by the polyamine transporter could account for differential radio- or chemoprotection in normal versus neoplastic tissues in specific situations.

Abstract
Sulfur mustard (bis(2-chloroethyl)sulfide, SM) is a highly reactive bifunctional alkylating agent that forms sulfonium ions in the body. SM alkylates DNA, leading to DNA strand breaks and cell death in a variety of cell types and tissues. Although several approaches have been proposed to challenge the toxic action(s) of SM, no satisfactory treatment regimen has evolved. The synthetic aminothiol amifostine, earlier known as WR-2721 (S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethyl phosphorothioate), has been extensively used as a chemical radioprotector for the normal tissues in cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy. SM is known as a radiomimetic agent and this prompted us to evaluate the protective efficacy of amifostine (2.5 mM) and three of its analogues, DRDE-06 (S-2 (3-aminopropylamino) ethyl phenyl sulfide), DRDE-07 (S-2 (2-aminoethylamino) ethyl phenyl sulfide), and DRDE-08 (S-2 (4-aminobutylamino) ethyl phenyl sulfide), against SM toxicity in rat liver slices. Of the four agents tested, a 30-min pretreatment of amifostine and DRDE-07 enhanced the LC50 (a concentration producing 50% leakage of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT)) of SM by 5.9- and 3.3-fold for LDH and 10.2- and 5.5-fold for ALT, respectively. Except DNA fragmentation, both these agents significantly attenuated the loss of intracellular K(+) and mitochondrial integrity (MTT assay), depletion of GSH levels, and histopathology produced by a toxic concentration (80 microM) of SM. However, when amifostine and DRDE-07 were introduced 2 h after SM, no significant protection was observed. SM (77.5 or 155 mg/kg) was also applied dermally on female albino mice and challenged by 0.20 LD50 (po) of amifostine, DRDE-06, DRDE-07, or DRDE-08 at -30 min, 0 min, or +6 h. Protection was observed only when the agents were administered at -30 min or 0 min; posttreatment (+6 h) did not offer any protection. The magnitude of in vivo protection was in the following order: DRDE-07 >or= amifostine > DRDE-08 > DRDE-06. Gas chromatographic analysis showed that there was no direct chemical interaction between SM and the antidotes. The po LD50s of amifostine, DRDE-06, DRDE-07, and DRDE-08 were 1049, 1345, 1248, and 951 mg/kg, respectively. Both in vitro and in vivo data indicate promising roles of amifostine and DRDE-07 as prophylactic agents against SM poisoning.

Abstract
The successful implication of the chemical weapons convention stimulated research with a new vigour on the destruction of the stockpiled sulphur mustard (SM). A prophylactic agent for SM will be very useful for personnel engaged in the destruction of SM and during inspections by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. Due to simple method of preparation, SM can be used clandestinely during war or by terrorist groups. Inspite of research over several decades no satisfactory prophylactic or treatment regimen has evolved for SM. Amifostine an organophosphorothioate, originally developed as a radioprotector, and its analogues were evaluated as a prophylactic agent for SM. Three analogues by varying the chain length and substitution at the sulphur atom were synthesised and coded as DRDE-06, DRDE-07 and DRDE-08. LD(50) of amifostine and its analogues were estimated through intraperitoneal (i.p.) route. For the protection studies, amifostine and its analogues were administered i.p. in mice, 30 min before dermal (percutaneous) application of SM. The dose of the prophylactic agent was 0.2 LD(50) (i.p.) and that of SM was 152 mg/kg (undiluted) equal to 19-fold LD(50) of SM. Amifostine and one of its analogues, DRDE-07 gave significant protection. Further studies were carried out using amifostine and DRDE-07, and both of them significantly protected mice against SM (155 mg/kg, in PEG 300, equal to 19 LD(50)) when they were administered i.p. either 30 min before or simultaneously. LD(50) of amifostine and DRDE-07 were also estimated through the oral route (1049 or 1248 mg/kg, respectively). Prophylactically administered amifostine and DRDE-07 (0.2 LD(50), p.o.) significantly protected the mice against dermally applied SM (155 mg/kg, in PEG 300, equal to 19 LD(50)). The protection offered by DRDE-07 was better than that of amifostine by the oral route. DRDE-07 (0.2 LD(50), p.o.) also protected significantly with respect to the decrease in body weight and the depletion of GSH induced by SM. DNA damage induced by SM was also significantly reduced by amifostine and DRDE-07 (0.2 LD(50), p.o.). Further studies are in progress on the various pharmacological and toxicological properties of DRDE-07.

Abstract
The main metabolites of the cytoprotective drug Ethyol (Amifostine, WR-2721) are the thiol WR-1065 and the disulphide WR-33278 (formed by the oxidation of WR-1065). Both metabolites are well-known protectors against DNA damage induced by gamma-rays. Using supercoiled plasmid DNA and restriction fragments we show that they protect efficiently also in the case of fast neutrons. In anoxic conditions WR-1065 (Z = +2) protects by scavenging of OH. and by 'chemical repair' (by H donation from its SH function). WR-33278 (Z = +4) protects by scavenging of OH. and, in the case of the supercoiled plasmid DNA, by reducing the accessibility of radiolytic attack sites via the induction of packaging of DNA in liquid-crystalline condensates (observed by circular dichroism). Because of this second mechanism, the plasmid DNA is more efficiently protected by WR-33278 than by WR-1065, at concentration ratios > 1 drug/4 nucleotides. Moreover, using sequencing gel electrophoresis of irradiated fragments of known sequence, we show that the protection by the two metabolites is non-homogeneously distributed along the DNA sequence, with 'hot spots' of protection and with unprotected regions. Based on presented molecular modelling results we explain the sequence dependence of radioprotection by structural variations induced by the binding of the drugs.

Abstract
One of the limitations of successful use of photodynamic therapy (PDT) employing porphyrins is the acute and long-term cutaneous photosensitivity. This paper describes results of experiments designed to test the effects of two radiation protective agents (WR-2721, 500 mg kg-1 or WR-3689, 700 mg kg-1) on murine skin damage induced by PDT. C3H mice were shaved and depilated three days prior to injection with the photosensitiser, Photofrin (5 or 10 mg kg-1). Twenty-four hours later, the mice were injected intraperitoneally with a protector 30 min prior to Argon dye laser (630 nm) exposure. The skin response was followed for two weeks post irradiation using an arbitrary response scale. A light dose response as well as a drug dose response was obtained. The results indicate that both protectors reduced the skin response to PDT, however WR-2721 was demonstrated to be the most effective. The effect of the protectors on vascular stasis after PDT was determined using a fluorescein dye exclusion assay. In mice treated with Photofrin (5 mg kg-1), and 630 nm light (180 J cm-2) pretreatment with either WR-2721 or WR-3689 resulted in significant protection of the vascular effects of PDT. These studies document the ability of the phosphorothioate class of radiation protective agents to reduce the effects of light on photosensitized skin. They do so in a drug dose-dependent fashion with maximum protection at the highest drug doses.

Abstract
Pantethine and the amino phosphorothioate, WR-77913, protected lenses against increased light scattering and opacification during cataract formation in five animal models: (1) radiation, (2) selenite, (3) galactose, (4) streptozotocin and (5) Royal College of Surgeons. In the radiation or selenite models, each test reagent was administered 15 to 30 min prior to initiation of cataract by a single injection of Na2SeO3 or a single exposure to 15 Gy (gray) gamma radiation. In the galactose, streptozotocin and Royal College of Surgeons models where the cataractogenic insult was continuous, repeated administrations of pantethine and WR-77913 were necessary. The results suggested that protein aggregation and lens opacification associated with a variety of physiological and biochemical mechanisms can be delayed or inhibited using a systemic administration of pantethine or WR-77913.

Abstract
L-Homocysteine thiolactone (L-HCTL) was evaluated for its potential as an intravenously-administered central nervous system (CNS) radioprotector in C3H mice and F344 rats. Toxicity assessments in the mouse yielded a LD50 of 297 mg/kg and in the rat 389 mg/kg. Biodistribution studies in tumor-bearing mice showed that brain specimens contained more label at 10 min than the tumors but less at 30 or 60 min. Brain uptake relative to the tumors, the brain/tumor ratio, ranged between 0.5 and 3.3. The cervical spinal cord of non-tumor-bearing rats was irradiated with 32 Gy 137Cs with or without prior treatment with L-HCTL following which the time to forelimb or hindlimb paralysis was measured to determine the relative protective factors (RPFs) for this radiation dose. For forelimb paralysis the RPF was 1.9 (+/- 1.0, SD) and for hindlimb it was 2.0 (+/- 1.1, SD). 36B-10 glioma cells irradiated in vitro with or without L-HCTL and assayed for colony forming capacity demonstrated a dose modifying factor (DMF) of only 1.15 (+/- 0.16, SE). Rats bearing intracerebral 36B-10 glioma received 137Cs irradiation with or without L-HCTL after which the tumors were similarly assayed in vitro. From this the glioma DMF was 1.2 (+/- 0.30, SE). Compared to prior results with phosphorothioates our data show that the toxicity of L-HCTL is roughly the same as WR2721, WR77913 and WR3689 and that it distributes at higher levels in the CNS after systemic administration. L-HCTL may well equal these phosphorothioates at protecting normal CNS tissue without requiring administration directly into the cerebrospinal fluid-containing spaces and it does not protect the 36B-10 glioma.

Abstract
Using two-dimensional (2-D) Fourier methods, we analysed the cellular microstructure of three rat lenses: normal transparent, selenite-induced cataractous and selenite-treated plus a phase separation inhibitor (PSI) to prevent cataract. 2-D Fourier analysis of electron micrographs of the lens cells quantified the dimensions of the spatial fluctuations in electron density of the lens cell microstructure. The 2-D Fourier spectra of the transparent normal and PSI-treated lens cells were remarkably similar while those of the opaque selenite-treated lens cells were dramatically different. In the opaque cells the contributions of large Fourier components (larger than half the wavelength of light) in the 2-D Fourier spectra were much greater than in the transparent cells. The results of the 2-D Fourier analysis of electron micrographs are consistent with the theory of transparency of the eye.

Inhibition of radiation cataractogenesis by WR-77913. Radiat Res 1995; 141:99-104. [PMID: 7997522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
The radioprotective drug S-3-amino-2-hydroxypropylphosphorothioic acid (WR-77913) has been tested as an inhibitor of radiation cataractogenesis. Animals treated with 15 Gy whole-head 137Cs gamma radiation developed mature cataracts 10-12 weeks after irradiation. Intraperitoneal pretreatment with 815 mg/kg WR-77913 30 min before irradiation delayed the development of cataracts; mature cataracts required 42 weeks for development. Doses as low as 350 mg/kg, substantially below the toxic range, resulted in graded but incomplete protection and a significant delay in the development of cataracts. Drug treatment combined with radiation doses of 12.5 or 10 Gy showed less pronounced protection. The optimum time of drug delivery was found to be between 30 min and 2 h before irradiation; protective action diminished if longer times were used or if the drug was given after irradiation. These results are discussed in relation to those obtained with other chemical radioprotective agents and in terms of possible mechanisms of the action of the drug.

Abstract
Cyclophosphamide induced a depletion in liver glutathione (GSH) and high rate of lipid peroxidation. GSH depletion was evident from 20 min onwards and the maximum depletion was observed at 3 hr post treatment. Lipid peroxidation was significant only after the maximum depletion of GSH. Pretreatment with either MPG or WR-77913 individually, or in combination could prevent the depletion of GSH and induction of lipid peroxidation after cyclophosphamide treatment.

Abstract
Reducing agents such as glutathione (GSH), glutathione ester (GSE), and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) have been shown to suppress the induction of HIV expression in chronically infected cells stimulated by cytokines. We present data which show the effects of the organic thiophosphate WR-151327 on the expression of latent HIV in U1 cells. The chronically infected promonocytic cell line U1 constitutively expresses low levels of HIV that can be increased by 13-phorbol 12-myristate acetate (PMA), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and granulocyte/monocyte colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). WR-151327 suppressed, in dose-dependent fashion, the reverse transcriptase (RT) activity induced by TNF-alpha, GM-CSF, and PMA. The maximal decrease in RT activity was 70, 80, and 50%, respectively. Pretreatment with WR-151327 also suppressed the induction of total HIV protein synthesis, as shown by Western blot analysis. In addition, WR-151327 suppressed HIV-LTR-CAT activity in transfected human rhabdomyosarcoma cells (RD). Suppression of HIV expression by WR-151327 was observed in the absence of a cytotoxic or cytostatic effect. Incubation of WR-151327 with human recombinant TNF-alpha for 6 hr at 37 degrees C did not alter the capacity of TNF-alpha to induce the expression of HIV. Our observations further support the hypothesis that reducing agents are important in the control of HIV replication and that the clinical evaluation of WR-151327 may be indicated.

Abstract
A phase separation inhibitor, WR77913 [S-3(amino-2-hydroxypropyl) phosphorothioate], was tested for its effects on lens opacification in the radiation (RAD), selenite (SEL), galactose (GAL), streptozotocin (STZ), and Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) models for cataract. A single i.p. injection of WR77913, approximately 15 min before induction of cataract formation by RAD, SEL, STZ delayed or inhibited opacification. Repeated administration was necessary to delay or inhibit opacification in the GAL or RCS models for cataracts. The results suggest that phase separation inhibitors such as WR77913 have the potential to delay or inhibit lens opacification resulting from a variety of physiological or biochemical mechanisms.

Abstract
Intestinal and testicular toxicity in groups of nonirradiated and irradiated mice were investigated after intraperitoneal injection of aminothiol compounds or saline. Four aminothiols were studied. Three were prodrugs: WR-2721, WR-3689, and WR-151327 and one was the active form of WR-2721: WR-1065. Thirty minutes after injection, the mice were sham-irradiated or bilaterally exposed (whole body) to 60Co gamma-irradiation at a dose rate of 1 Gy per min to a total dose of 15 Gy. Four days after injection, mice were euthanised, and the intestines and testes were removed and histologically examined. The intestinal crypt cell number was increased in all the irradiated mice given WR-compounds compared to controls (P < 0.05). Interestingly, the crypt cell number in nonirradiated mice given WR-1065 was also greater than control or WR-2721 (P < 0.05) treated mice. Germinal cell numbers from testes of mice administered aminothiols prior to radiation decreased or did not change. Some swelling of the seminiferous tubules was also observed. The germinal cell numbers in sham-irradiated mice were also less than the controls. Thus, aminothiol addition can provide limited protection to intestinal crypt cells but not to germinal cells of the testes in response to gamma-irradiation. There is also evidence that aminothiols are toxic to the germinal cell layer of the seminiferous tubules when given to sham-irradiated mice.

Effects of S-2-(3-methylaminopropylamino)ethyl phosphorothioic acid (WR-3689), alone or combined with caffeine, on catecholamine content of mouse hypothalamus.

Abstract
S-2-(3-Methylaminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-3689) is a radioprotective agent that is behaviorally toxic at radioprotective doses. It was recently reported that the combination of WR-3689 and caffeine ameliorated behavioral toxicity (determined by locomotor activity in mice) compared with WR-3689 alone. Since catecholamines can modulate locomotor activity, we determined norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) content (using high-performance liquid chromatography) in the hypothalamus of mice after treatment with WR-3689, caffeine, and the combination of the two drugs. CD2F1 male mice were injected intraperitoneally with saline (control), WR-3689 (100 and 200 mg/kg), caffeine (20 and 40 mg/kg), or the combination of WR-3689 (200 mg/kg) and caffeine (40 mg/kg). Control values for NE and DA ranged between 200 and 220 pg/mg and 69 and 94 pg/mg of hypothalamic tissue, respectively. WR-3689 had no effect on the content of NE and DA. In contrast, NE increased to (mean +/- SE) 324 +/- 27 pg/mg and 377 +/- 61 pg/mg (P < 0.05) 4 hr after injections of 20 and 40 mg/kg of caffeine, respectively. Similarly, DA increased to 142 +/- 13 pg/mg (P < 0.05) 4 hr after injection of 40 mg/kg of caffeine. The combination of WR-3689 and caffeine had no effect on NE and DA contents when compared with control values. These results suggest that WR-3689 can affect catecholamine metabolism in the mouse hypothalamus, but the mode of action is not clear.

Abstract
The behavioral effects of the radioprotectant agents ethiofos, S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-2721) and S-2-(3-methylaminopropyl)aminoethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-3689) were evaluated in rats trained to respond under a multiple fixed-interval 120-s, fixed-ratio 50-response (mult FI FR) schedule of milk reinforcement. Each compound produced dose-dependent reductions in responding under both schedules over the same dose range (100-180 mg/kg, IP); ED50s indicated that WR-3689 was slightly more potent than WR-2721. On several performance measures, WR-3689 produced greater decrements during a second dose-effect determination, whereas WR-2721 had more pronounced effects during the initial one. In a second series of studies, low (56 mg/kg) and high (180 mg/kg) doses of both drugs were tested for radioprotective effects in rats responding under an FR-50 schedule of milk reinforcement and exposed to a nonlethal (5 gray, Gy) or lethal (10 Gy) dose of ionizing radiation (60Co gamma rays). Neither dose of radiation altered FR response rates on the day of exposure (day 1). Five Gy of gamma radiation produced a 25-40% reduction in response rates on days 2-5 (24-72 h) after exposure. Neither dose of WR-2721 or WR-3689 provided significant protection against these performance decrements. All groups exposed to 10 Gy experienced a progressive decline in FR responding on days 2-5 after exposure. Performance of groups that received pretreatment with the 180-mg/kg dose of either drug or the 56-mg/kg dose of WR-3689 was maintained at significantly higher levels than saline-treated controls on days 4-5 after exposure to 10 Gy; however, even at these higher levels of performance response rates remained below 50% of preirradiation control levels. Subsequently, 56 and 180 mg/kg WR-3689 and 180 mg/kg WR-2721 were found to provide protection against the lethal consequences of the 10-Gy exposure. Thus, neither WR-2721 nor WR-3689 afforded any significant short-term protection against radiation-induced performance decrements when these drugs were administered at either behaviorally ineffective or behaviorally disruptive doses. Rather, the beneficial effects of these drugs paralleled their ability to antagonize radiation-induced lethality.

Abstract
The variation of the phase-separation temperature (Tc) was studied in lenses during formation of cataracts induced by a subcutaneous injection of sodium selenite. In normal control animals, the Tc decreased monotonically with increasing age. Approximately 2 days after administration of the selenite the Tc decreased sharply to a minimum, and then at day 4 the Tc increased dramatically toward body temperature. Mature irreversible cataracts formed approximately 6 days after injection of the selenite. Intraperitoneal administration of WR-77913, a phase-separation inhibitor, prevented the abnormal variation of Tc in vivo. When injected into control animals without selenite, WR-77913 produced no abnormal variation in Tc. The results confirm that Tc is a sensitive measure of early changes in the lens and that opacification associated with abnormal variation in Tc can be prevented in vivo by using a phase-separation inhibitor.

Abstract
We demonstrated that glucan, a beta-1,3 polysaccharide immunomodulator, enhances survival of mice when administered before radiation exposure. Glucan's prophylactic survival-enhancing effects are mediated by several mechanisms including (1) increasing macrophage-mediated resistance to potentially lethal postirradiation opportunistic infections, (2) increasing the D(o) of hematopoietic progenitor cells, and (3) accelerating hematopoietic reconstitution. In addition, even when administered shortly after some otherwise lethal doses of radiation, glucan increases survival. Glucan's therapeutic survival-enhancing effects are also mediated through its ability to enhance macrophage function and to accelerate hematopoietic reconstitution; glucan's therapeutic potential, however, is ultimately dependent on the survival of a critical number of hematopoietic stem cells capable of responding to glucan's stimulatory effects. Preirradiation administration of the traditional aminothiol radioprotectants WR-2721 and WR-3689 has been previously demonstrated to be an extremely effective means to increase hematopoietic stem cell survival. Therapeutic glucan treatment administered in combination with preirradiation WR-2721 or WR-3689 treatment synergistically increases both hematopoietic reconstitution and survival. Such combined modality treatments offer new promise in treating acute radiation injury.

Abstract
Radioprotection by injectable vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) was investigated in mice exposed to 60Co radiation (0.2 Gy/min). Vitamin E injected subcutaneously either 1 hr before or within 15 min after irradiation significantly increased 30-day postirradiation survival in CD2F1 male mice. A dose reduction factor (DRF) of 1.11 (95% confidence interval [1.08, 1.14]) was observed for vitamin E at a dose of 100 IU/kg body weight administered within 15 min after irradiation. Combination studies with the phosphorothioate WR-3689 (S-2([3-methylaminopropyl]amino)ethylphosphorothioic acid) were undertaken to determine whether radioprotection by WR-3689 could be enhanced by vitamin E. Mice were given WR-3689 (150-225 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) 30 min before irradiation and were given vitamin E (100 IU/kg) either 1 hr before or within 15 min after irradiation. Survival was significantly increased in mice given vitamin E and WR-3689 before irradiation as compared to mice given WR-3689 alone: the DRF for WR-3689 (150 mg) was 1.35 [1.32, 1.38]; for WR-3689 combined with vitamin E (100 IU), the DRF was 1.49 [1.45, 1.53].

Abstract
Chromatographic and magnetic resonance spectroscopic measurements of thiol reduction-oxidation state in chemically constructed samples show close analytical agreement. This result, coupled with the synthesis of new probe molecules allowing greater sensitivity and lower toxicity, supports the development of an NMR method for non-invasive thiol redox measurement, an important variable in the response of tumors to radiation and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Effective radioprotection with minimal behavioral disruption is essential for the selection of protective agents to be used in manned spaceflight. This overview summarizes the studies on the behavioral toxicity of selected radioprotectors classified as phosphorothioates (WR-2721, WR-3689), bioactive lipids (16, 16 dimethylprostaglandin E2(DiPGE2), platelet activating factor (PAF), leukotriene C4), and immunomodulators (glucan, synthetic trehalose dicorynomycolate, and interleukin-1). Behavioral toxicity was examined in laboratory mice using a locomotor activity test. For all compounds tested, there was a dose-dependent decrease in locomotor behavior that paralleled the dose-dependent increase in radioprotection. While combinations of radioprotective compounds (DiPGE2 plus WR-2721) increased radioprotection, they also decreased locomotor activity. The central nervous system stimulant, caffeine, was able to mitigate the locomotor decrement produced by WR-3689 or PAF.

Abstract
Primary events in the course of light induced retinal lesions are still not fully elucidated. Under chronic conditions, lipid peroxidation in the retina and death of photoreceptor cells are observed. The radioprotective agent WR-77913 scavenges singlet oxygen, hydrated electrons and free radicals. WR-77913 was used to protect against acute light induced photoreceptor outer segment membrane disruptions in the rat retina. There was a partial but not complete protection at higher illuminance levels (800 lx for 30 min), whereas threshold lesions (400 lx for 30 min) were almost completely prevented. These observations indicate an involvement of photodynamic reactions in causing acute photoreceptor lesions.

Abstract
Radioprotective agents have been found to protect normal tissues during photodynamic therapy (PDT). We have investigated a phosphorylated thiol protectant WR-77913 (W7) with the photosensitizer aluminium sulphonated phthalocyanine (AISPc). We compared the effects of PDT on normal and tumour tissue in the rat colon, with and without this protectant. In normal colon no necrosis was seen in sites treated after administration of the W7. Necrosis of mean diameter 4.2 mm was seen in those given the protectant after light exposure. At tumour sites the area of necrosis was similar after light exposure before and after the administration of the protective agent. These results suggest a possible role for W7 in enhancement of selectivity of PDT action. Several mechanisms of protection against porphyrin phototoxicity by these drugs have been proposed, including acceleration of photobleaching. We used fluorescence to detect AISPc in strips of rat colon before and after laser treatment, with and without W7. However, a primary role for the photobleaching of AISPc as the mechanism for the protection shown is not supported by these observations.

Abstract
Complications of radiotherapy in the treatment of retinal and choroidal neoplastic diseases include cataract formation, radiation retinopathy, neovascular glaucoma, cystoid macular edema, and subretinal neovascularization. These side effects may be minimized by the use of compounds known to have a protective effect on normal ocular tissues without impeding the benefits of therapy. Phosphorothioates, first developed under the Antiradiation Drug Development Program of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, have been reported to protect normal tissues during radiation therapy in a variety of animal models. One of the phosphorothioates, WR-77913 (S-[3-amino-2-hydroxylpropyl]phosphorothioate) was found to inhibit cataract formation in rats after radiation exposure. To test the efficacy of WR-77913 in the retina, we established a high-pressure liquid chromatography method to measure the levels of dephosphorylated WR-77913 and studied the drug's clearance from the lens, retina, blood, kidney, and liver in rats.

Abstract
Photooxidation, whether initiated by an endogenous or exogenous sensitizer, is an important mechanism in light induced damage to the lens. One of the substrates for this damage is lens protein. A porphyrin sensitizer which binds to lens proteins [mesotetra(p-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TPPS)] was found to photooxidize Skh-2 pigmented mice lens protein in vivo. Uroporphyrin, a model for a non-binding photosensitizer, did not induce photooxidative damage to the mouse lens. The radioprotector 3-amino-2-hydroxypropyl phosphorothioate (WR-77913) was investigated as an agent to retard or negate in vivo photooxidative damage to the lens. Intraperitoneal injections of WR-77913 prior to irradiation reduced the TPPS induced photodestruction of lens protein in Skh-2 pigmented mice. The mechanism of protection was also investigated. Thiols were found to quench both the triplet state of porphyrins and the reactive intermediate singlet oxygen on the order of 10(5) and 10(6) M-1 s-1 respectively. These are probably not fast enough to explain most of the protection afforded by thiols. An additional mechanism may be the accelerated photobleaching of porphyrins by thiols which protects tissue by reducing the absorptions due to the porphyrins.

Abstract
The formation of protein mixed disulfides which influences the pharmacodynamics of the phosphorothioate radioprotective drugs WR2721 [S-2-(3-aminopropyl)aminoethylphosphorothioic acid, Ethiofos] and WR3689 [S-2-(3-methylaminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid] and their metabolites was investigated. WR3689-derived thiols and disulfides bound to rat serum protein to about 45 and 40% of the total drug in the incubation when present at a 400 microM concentration. Metabolites of WR2721 were nearly indistinguishable from the corresponding metabolites of WR3689 in their mixed disulfide binding propensity. Mixed disulfide formation was saturable; binding sites on bovine albumin or rat serum protein amounted to 0.15 and 2.4 mumol/mg protein respectively. The sum of all WR3689 metabolites (when measured by NMR spectroscopy) was reduced to the same degree as drug binding, suggesting that a portion of the bound drug was not NMR observable. Approximately 2-4 nmol WR3689-thiol/mg protein was bound to homogenates of mouse tissues (liver, kidney, lung, brain, and serum) when incubated in vitro, whereas after in vivo injection drug binding appeared to be limited more by drug distribution than by the capacity for mixed disulfide formation.

Abstract
The response of mouse intestine to d(22 MeV) + Be neutrons, p(50.5 MeV) + Be neutrons, or 137Cs gamma-rays was examined using intestinal crypt-cell survival as an endpoint. The RBEs for 50.5 MeV neutrons relative to 137Cs-gamma-rays of response levels of 5 and 50 surviving cells/circumference were 1.80 and 1.86. For d(22 MeV) + Be neutrons, the RBEs at comparable cell survivals were 1.86 and 1.93. For LD50/7 day (gastrointestinal syndrome), the RBE for 50.5 MeV neutrons was 1.56 and for LD50/30 (bone marrow syndrome), the RBE was 1.29. The ability of the phosphorothioates WR-3689 [S-2-(3-methylamino-propylamino) ethylphosphorothioic acid, 450 mg/kg] and WR-77913 [S-2-(3-amino-2-hydroxypropyl) phosphorothioic acid, 800 mg/kg] to protect against p(50.5 MeV) + Be neutrons and gamma-rays also was examined in mice using lethality at seven or 30 days as the endpoints. Results were compared to previous studies with d(22 MeV) + Be neutrons WR-2721 (400 mg/kg), an appropriate comparison given the similar RBEs of the two neutron sources relative to gamma-rays. WR-77913 is a less effective protector than is WR-2721 while in some cases WR-3689 is as effective as WR-2721. The neutron DMFs for LD50/7 were 1.12 for WR-3689 and 0.99 for WR-77913. For the bone marrow syndrome (LD50/30) the neutron DMFs were 1.47 for WR-3689 and 1.21 for WR-77913. For a given type of radiation, WR-3689 is more effective than WR-77913. Both phosphorothioates protect less well against neutron radiation than against photons, as was reported previously for WR-2721.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The aminophosphorothioate WR-3689 was characterized for its ability to protect mouse jejunal cells in vivo from single doses of X or gamma radiation. First, the effect of the drug on the survival of jejunal stem cells was examined using a clonogenic end point, the crypt microcolony assay. When WR-3689 was administered 30 min prior to whole-body irradiation, the number of surviving crypt cells was markedly increased at all doses of the drug, although protection began to level out at doses larger than 600 mg/kg. Protection was maximal when the drug was given 30 min before whole-body irradiation and declined rapidly with both shorter and longer intervals. Protection factors (PFs) were obtained by measuring survival curves for clonogenic crypt cells as a function of radiation dose; WR-3689 given 30 min before whole-body irradiation protected jejunum in the microcolony assay with a PF of 1.26 +/- 0.02, 1.50 +/- 0.10, and 1.65 +/- 0.10 at doses of 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg, respectively. Next, the effect of WR-3689 on the survival of jejunal stem cells was determined by assaying the survival of mice given X-ray doses to the whole abdomen in the range leading to death from the gastrointestinal syndrome. The PFs based on the LD50 values for 11-day survival were 1.31 +/- 0.05 (200 mg/kg) and 1.48 +/- 0.05 (400 mg/kg). Crypt-cell survival and animal survival were thus modified to a similar extent by this agent. Finally, the effect of WR-3689 on the induction of DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) in jejunal cells was measured using an adaptation of the alkaline elution methodology. In mice treated with WR-3689 (400 or 800 mg/kg) 30 min prior to whole-body irradiation with 10 Gy there was no significant reduction in the number of DNA SSBs induced either in samples of the jejunum or in the cycling crypt cells, providing further evidence that there is no simple relationship between the modification of DNA SSBs and the survival of jejunal stem cells.

Abstract
The oxidation state of tissues influences their response to cancer therapy. We have devised a novel approach to the measurement of thiol redox which is based on the relative nuclear magnetic resonance signal intensity from carbon-13 adjacent to sulfur in metabolites of the redox-sensitive phosphorothioate drug, S-2-(3-methylaminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR3689). Incubation of WR3689 metabolites under oxidizing conditions results in quantifiable changes in the 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum stoichiometrically related to the degree of oxidation in mouse liver homogenate in vitro. Drug oxidation is competitive with the oxidation of tissue-derived thiol groups under these conditions. Noninvasive measurement of redox state may assist in designing more effective strategies for altering normal and malignant tissue response to cancer therapy.

Abstract
We examined the radioprotective effect of the aminothiol WR-255591 and its phosphorothioate derivative WR-3689 on aerated cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells. At concentrations up to 10 mmol dm-3, WR-3689 afforded little protection from the lethal effects of gamma-radiation. The free thiol WR-255591, on the other hand, efficiently protected these cells, giving a protection factor (PF) for cell survival of 2.3 at a concentration of 6 mmol dm-3. The effects of WR-255591 on the induction and rejoining of gamma-ray-induced DNA single-strand breaks (ssb) and double-strand breaks (dsb) were measured using alkaline (pH 12.1) and neutral (pH 7.0 or 9.6) elution, respectively. PFs calculated from these data were compared with the PFs measured for cell survival. WR-255591 (6 mmol dm-3) protected against the induction of both DNA ssb and dsb; however, the magnitude of the modification of both ssb (PF of 1.23) and dsb (PF of 1.83 at pH 7.0 and 1.70 at pH 9.6) was less than that for cell survival (PF of 2.3) measured under identical conditions (irradiation on ice). Treatment of cells with WR-255591 prior to irradiation retarded the subsequent rate of ssb rejoining but had no effect on dsb rejoining. Postirradiation treatment with the drug slightly retarded ssb rejoining but had no effect on cell survival. The observation of lower PFs for DNA strand breaks than for cell survival suggests that radioprotection by WR-255591 probably does not result from a uniform decrease in the induction of all types of DNA lesions. Rather, the drug may differentially protect against the induction of subclasses of DNA damage--which could also explain the effects on the kinetics of ssb rejoining--and/or enhance cellular recovery processes.

Abstract
Galactose, and the phosphorothioates, WR-77913 and WR-2721, which inhibit cataract produced by X-irradiation, were evaluated for their effects on the phase separation temperature, Tc, of calf lens homogenate. The reagents were added to nuclear homogenate and the change in Tc per mol, dTc/dC, was measured. Galactose decreased Tc, -65 degrees C mol-1, WR-77913 decreased Tc, -28 degrees C mol-1 and WR-2721 decreased Tc, -76 degrees C mol-1. These are the first phase separation inhibitors that can be used in vivo to study the inhibition of lens opacification.

Abstract
Radiation induced cataracts are models for studying mechanisms of lens opacification. WR-77913, S-3-(amino-2-hydroxypropyl) phosphorothioate (NCS-318809), has been identified as a radioprotective agent. Injection of WR-77913 (1160 mg/kg, i.p.) 15 to 30 min before exposure to 15.3 gray of x-irradiation inhibited rat lenses from developing radiation cataracts. Irradiated rats which did not receive the drug developed dense cataracts. Lenses from control rats which received no radiation remained transparent. Individual lenses were weighed, homogenized, and assayed for protein content using the Lowry method. The molecular weight distribution of soluble protein was determined by HPLC. Mean lens weights were: controls 48.2 mg; irradiated, drug-treated 45.9 mg; and irradiated, nontreated 45.5 mg. Protein accounted for over 40% of the lens weight in control and drug-treated rats and less than 20% for the nontreated cataractous lenses. Water was less than 60% of the lens weight in control and drug-treated rats and over 80% in cataractous lenses. Insoluble protein ranged from 12 to 17% of the total lens weight for each group. The ratio of insoluble to soluble lens protein was 0.40 for control, 0.65 for drug-treated, and 11.28 for cataractous rat lenses. HPLC confirmed a dramatic loss of soluble protein and a complete absence of protein below 25K daltons in cataractous lenses. Proteins below 25K daltons accounted for over 25% of the soluble protein in control and drug-treated rat lenses. WR-77913 stabilizes protein composition and appears to be an effective inhibitor of radiation cataractogenesis.

Comparison of the protective effects of three phosphorothioate radioprotectors in the RIF-1 tumor. Radiat Res 1986; 108:167-75.

Abstract
Three aminoalkyl phosphorothioates, WR-2721, WR-3689, and WR-77913, were compared as radioprotectors of RIF-1 tumors irradiated in vivo and assayed for cell survival in vitro. The protector doses were 50% of the acute drug LD50. The radiation dose modifying factors for the three drugs were nearly equal, ranging from 1.5 to 1.7 at surviving fractions of 0.1 and 0.05. Using biodistribution data obtained with 35S labeled drugs, the uptake in tumors was calculated as micromoles drug per gram of tumor. On this basis, tumor levels of WR-77913 were 4.5-fold those of WR-2721, and WR-3689 uptake was 2.7-fold greater than uptake of WR-2721. Thus, on a molar basis, WR-2721 appears to be the most effective protector, but all three phosphorothioates protect this tumor moderately well. In diffusible substance autoradiographs of 3H WR-3689 labeled tumors, label was generally distributed over cells with no evidence of preferential localization over nuclei.

Abstract
The radioprotective capacity of the phosphorothioate compounds, WR2721, WR77913, and WR3689, in the CNS is being evaluated following injection of the drugs into the lateral cerebral ventricle or the cisterna magna of F-344 rats. This approach circumvents the blood-brain barrier and permits an assessment of the CNS toxicity and regional distribution of these compounds. Following intraventricular injection in 150-200 gm female rats, the LD50 doses for WR2721, WR77913, and WR3689 were respectively 0.60 +/- 0.07 mg (S.E.), 2.36 +/- 0.13 mg, and 3.56 +/- 0.26 mg. Following intracisternal injection the LD50 doses were 0.71 +/- 0.18 mg, 4.12 +/- 1.09 mg and 3.03 +/- 0.68 mg, respectively. WR 2721 produced lethargy, unsteady gait, and dishevelment but these signs all resolved completely within 1-3 days in survivors. In addition to these signs, WR77913 and WR3689 produced severe convulsions. At high doses, following intraventricular administration, all three drugs were associated with cerebral and diencephalic periventricular necrosis and ipsilateral necrosis of the lateral hippocampus. Biodistribution studies were performed with [S-35]-labeled derivatives of the drugs and tissue sampling. The three drugs demonstrated similar patterns. Forty-five minutes following either the intraventricular or intracisternal route of drug delivery the highest drug concentrations were in the brainstem, cerebellum, and cervical cord. Additional studies with autoradiography revealed that intraventricular injection was associated with high drug uptake in the cerebral white matter, the periventricular diencephalon, and the periaqueductal mesencephalon. The biodistribution and toxicity data together suggest that the drugs can be ranked, WR3689 greater than WR77913 greater than WR2721, according to the level of drug thiol that can be achieved in the CNS tissues with intraventricular or intracisternal injection. Tissue levels achievable with WR2721 following these two routes of administration are as high as levels others have reported as radioprotective in rodent skin and gut.

Abstract
The organ level biodistribution and tumor radioprotective properties of three drugs have been compared: WR-2721 (NSC 296961), WR-3689 (NSC 327729), and WR-77913 (NSC 318809). The three drugs have similar distribution patterns in normal mouse tissues. At 30 minutes after intraperitoneal injection, highest levels of 35S from radiolabeled protector are found in kidney and submandibular salivary gland, with lowest levels in brain and moderately low values in tumor and skin. Three of four tumors examined take up less WR-3689 than the other two protectors. For the three protectors, the dose modifying factors for the RIF-1 tumor irradiated in vivo and assayed in vitro are 1.5-1.7, but do not vary as predicted by differential uptake of drug into this neoplasm. In RIF-1, WR-3689 is taken up most avidly, but the three drugs tend to be equally protective.

Abstract
Protection by WR-77913 against radiation-induced cataract formation in rats was observed following intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of drug (1160 mg/kg) 15-30 min before exposure to 15.3 Gy of Cs-137 whole head irradiation. Control groups included irradiated, non-protected animals, and sham-irradiated aging controls. Protection was documented photographically and by analysis of eye lens constituents. All non-protected irradiated animals developed dense cataracts throughout the lens between 90-120 days post-irradiation, while WR-77913 protected animals developed minimal lens opacification through 200 days post-irradiation. No opacification in aging controls was seen. Lens protein analysis by Lowry assay and size exclusion HPLC showed radioprotected and aging control animals were similar in protein content, distribution of total and soluble protein, and degree of lens hydration. This contrasted significantly with cataractous lenses of non-protected animals. In cataractous lenses, the soluble protein concentration in the 25-43 K dalton range was approximately 10% of that found in radioprotected or aging control lenses. Hydration was substantially higher in cataractous lens. These results indicate that WR-77913 protects against lens opacification, protein insolubilization, and hydration in lenses of irradiated animals. Biodistribution studies with [S-35]-WR-77913 showed ocular uptake of drug within 15 minutes after i.p. injection, which remained relatively constant through 60 min. The relative order of drug concentration for individual eye components was: globe greater than total eye approximately equal to humor greater than lens. Although the mechanism of radioprotection observed remains to be elucidated, WR-77913 clearly prevents radiation-induced cataracts in rats. The potentially significant clinical use for this radioprotective compound is being investigated further.

Abstract
35S- and 3H-labeled S-2-(3-methylaminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid (WR-3689) have been synthesized in our laboratory and used to study organ and cellular level distribution in C3H/Km mice bearing RIF-1 tumors. Tissue biodistributions obtained with 35S-WR-3689 showed that blood levels peak at 15 min postinjection and decline gradually over 60 min. At 30 min after drug injection the highest uptake is in kidney and submandibular salivary gland, with lowest levels in brain and moderate to low levels in the RIF-1 tumor, comparable to levels in skin and muscle. High resolution diffusible substance autoradiography with 3H-WR-3689 reveals a homogenous distribution of label over cells in liver and lung and nonuniform distribution of silver grains over the cytoplasm of cells in the kidney cortex, parotid and submandibular salivary glands, and small intestine. There are no indications of preferential nuclear location of label from protective drug in any tissue. Correlations of biodistribution and autoradiography data with measures of radioprotection in different tissues will be useful in interpreting mechanisms of radioprotection with this phosphorothioate.

Abstract
Experiments have been carried out to compare the toxicity and radioprotective effect of sodium hydrogen-S-(3-amino-2-hydroxypropyl) phosphorothioate (WR-77913) with those of S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethyl phosphorothioic acid (WR-2721). The drugs were given intraperitoneally to 12 week-old female BALB/c mice 30 minutes before whole body irradiation. Lethality at 30 days was the endpoint used. The drug LD50/30 was 678 mg/kg for WR-2721 and 3574 mg/kg for WR-77913. The LD50/30 for WR-77913 combined with 500 mg/kg of WR-2721 was 3328 mg/kg. The LD50/30 for misonidazole was 380 mg/kg when given in combination with 500 mg/kg of WR-2721 and 801 mg/kg when combined with 2200 mg/kg of WR-77913. Protection of bone marrow by WR-77913 and WR-2721 was comparable at doses close to the maximum tolerable dose (MTD, drug dose lethal to 10% of the animals at 30 days), but WR-77913 gave better protection at 35% of the MTD. These characteristics of low toxicity, non-additive toxicity with WR-2721, less toxicity in combination with misonidazole and adequate bone marrow protection at 25% of the MTD, make WR-77913 a protector worthy of further investigation.
