OBJECTIVE: Amifositine is a phosphorylated thiol that holds its radioprotective actions by several indirect mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to evaluate histopathologically whether amifositine administration prior to irradiation would have a long-term protective effect on heart tissue in an experimental rat model.
