Mesna (2-Mercaptoethanesulfonate sodium) is a cystamine derivative used to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis induced by high-dose cyclophosphamide or ifosfamide chemotherapy. It functions as a uroprotective agent by neutralizing toxic acrolein metabolites in the urinary tract via sulfhydryl group conjugation. The compound features the molecular formula C2H5NaO3S2 and carries CAS registry number 128-46-9.
Strictly contraindicated for patients with known hypersensitivity to mesna or its excipients. Requires storage in cool, dry environments below 25°C to maintain stability. Personnel must utilize appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles to prevent dermal absorption and respiratory irritation during handling.
