How Avasopasem manganese works
Avasopasem manganese is a superoxide dismutase mimetic that rapidly and selectively converts superoxide to hydrogen peroxide and oxygen in order to protect normal tissue from radiation therapy-induced damage. This drug is currently being investigated against oral mucositis, esophagitis, and COVID-19.
