Adamantylamide dipeptide stimulates hematopoiesis and increases survival in irradiated mice

It has been demonstrated that the synthetic immunostimulatory compound, adamantylamide dipeptide (AdDP) produces hematopoiesis-stimulating effects in mice exposed to sublethal doses of ionizing radiation and increases survival in experimental animals irradiated with a lethal dose. These findings might suggest contingent extension of clinical indications for the administration of AdDP for the conditions of hematopoietic suppression, especially in oncology.
