Abstract

A method of administration of a thiol-based chemoprotectant agent including NAC (N-acetylcysteine) and STS (sodium thiosulfate) that markedly affects biodistribution and protects against injury from diagnostic or therapeutic intra-arterial procedures. A method for treating or mitigating the side effects of cytotoxic cancer therapy for tumors located in the head or neck and brain tumors. The thiol-based chemoprotectant agent is administered intra-arterially with rapid and first pass uptake in organs and tissues other than the liver.

Claims

1 - 48 . (canceled)  
     
     
         49 . A method for treating or mitigating myelosuppression, comprising: 
 administering intraarterially a high-dose thiol based chemoprotectant agent.    
     
     
         50 . The method for treating or mitigating myelosuppression of  claim 49  wherein the high-dose thiol based chemoprotectant agent is from about 400 mg/m 2  to about 1200 mg/m 2  per procedure.  
     
     
         51 . The method for treating or mitigating myelosuppression of  claim 49  wherein the high-dose thiol based chemoprotectant agent is selected from at least one of the group consisting of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), sodium thiosulfate (STS), GSH ethyl ester, D-methionine, and Ethyol.  
     
     
         52 - 76 . (canceled)
