Cisplatin is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent which causes severe nephrotoxicity. Studies have suggested that reactive oxygen species, mainly generated in mitochondria, play a central role in cisplatin-induced renal damage. A wide range of antioxidants have been evaluated as possible protective agents against cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity; however a safe and efficacious compound has not...
The clinical use of cisplatin is highly limited by its nephrotoxicity, which has been associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. We investigated the protective effect of carvedilol, an antihypertensive with strong antioxidant properties, against the nephrotoxicity induced by cisplatin in rats. Carvedilol was able to counteract the renal damage by preventing the mitochondrial dysfunction induced by...
