Abstract
A method of treating drug-induced peripheral neuropathy comprising administering to a patient with drug-induced peripheral neuropathy an effective quantity of N-4-carboxaphenyl-3-(6-oxohydropurin-9-yl)propananide AIT-082, is disclosed. Peripheral nerve sprouting can be induced through the action of a neurotrophic factor such as nerve growth factor (NGF) without the occurrence of hyperalgesia. The peripheral nerve sprouting can be nociceptive nerve sprouting. The drug-induced peripheral neuropathy is associated with the administration of oncolytic drugs, such as a vinca alkaloid, cisplatin, paclitaxel, suramin, altretamine, carboplatin, chlorambucil, cytarabine, dacarbazine, docetaxel, etoposide, fludarabine, ifosfamide with mesna, tamoxifen, teniposide, or thioguanine.
