An adenosine derivative (IFC-305) reduced the risk of radiation-induced intestinal toxicity in the treatment of colon cancer by suppressing the methylation of PPAR-r promoter.

CONCLUSION: In this study, we demonstrated the relationship between PPAR-r promoter methylation and the risk of radiation-induced intestinal toxicity via studying the clinical samples collected from CC patients. And the study upon mice models suggested that the administration of IFC-305 could alleviate radiation-induced intestinal toxicity through decreasing the methylation of PPAR-r promoter and enhancing the expression of PPAR-r in IR mice.
