Istradefylline (KW6002) protects from cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and peripheral neuropathy while preserving cisplatin anti-tumor effects [Kidney_Tumor]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Cisplatin is a potent chemotherapeutic drug, widely used in the treatment of various solid cancers. However, its clinical effectiveness is strongly limited by frequent severe adverse effects, such as nephrotoxicity and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. Therefore, there is an urgent medical need to identify novel strategies that would limit cisplatin-induced toxicity. In the present study, we provide evidence that the FDA-approved adenosine A2A receptor antagonist istradefylline (KW6002) significantly protects from cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and neuropathic pain in experimental models of acute and sub-chronic cisplatin intoxication. Importantly, we also demonstrate that the anti-tumoral properties of cisplatin were not altered by istradefylline in tumor-bearing mice and even potentiated at the molecular level. Altogether, the present results support the use of istradefylline as a new valuable preventive approach for the clinical management of patients undergoing cisplatin treatment.
