| abstract |
The present invention relates to the use of compounds for the manufacture of a medicament for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of induced cell toxicity, such as nephewrotoxicity and ototoxicity, in particular where the cell toxicity is induced by a medical treatment. In a preferred embodiment, the compounds have at least two nitrogen atoms, more preferably at least two amino groups. The compounds according to the invention are capable of docking binding of cell toxic compounds to the megalin receptor, and thereby inhibiting uptake of the cell toxic compounds into cells. The invention further relates to novel compounds for use in said treatment, as well as a method for reducing the cell toxicity of cell toxic compounds. |
