Mesna Injection
Mesna is an organosulfur compound. It is used to protect the bladder and kidneys in cancer chemotherapy involving cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide as an adjuvant.
Mesna is used therapeutically to reduce the incidence of haemorrhagic cystitis and haematuria when a patient receives ifosfamide or cyclophosphamide for cancer chemotherapy. These two anticancer agents, in vivo, may be converted to urotoxic metabolites such as acrolein.
Mesna assists to detoxify these metabolites by reaction of its sulfhydryl group with the vinyl group. It also increases urinary excretion of cysteine.
