The interaction of the chlorite-based drug solution WF10 with human oxyhemoglobin and oxidized hemoglobin forms was investigated monitoring the corresponding spectral changes in heme states. The chlorite component of WF10 converts oxyhemoglobin into methemoglobin with a rate of 35.4 M(-1)s(-1).

The optimal management of persistent hemorrhagic radiation cystitis is ill-defined. Various options are available and include oral agents (ie, sodium pentosan polysulfate), intravenous drugs (ie, WF10), topical agents (ie, formalin), hyperbaric oxygen, and endoscopic procedures (ie, electrical cautery, argon plasma coagulation, laser coagulation). In general, it is best to manage patients conservatively and intervene only when necessary with the option least likely to exacerbate the cystitis.

Objective: To study clinical outcomes and safety of WF I 0 as an adjunct to standard treatment for diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) and to determine the optimal number of WF I 0 cycles that should be administered.
Method: A prospective, open-label study of WF I 0 adjunct to standard treatment for severe DFU but salvageable foot was carried out between July 2009 and June 20 I 0. Patients were classified into three groups, according to common clinical presentations: neuropathic ulcer, ischaemic ulcer and severely infected ulcer.

This randomized controlled trial was undertaken to evaluate the effect of WF10 (Immunokine) as an adjunct to the standard treatment of diabetic foot ulcer. A total of 40 participants were randomized into 2 groups of 20. One group underwent standard therapy combined with infusions of WF10, and 1 underwent standard therapy combined with placebo.

The redox-active chlorite-based drug WF10 (Immunokine) was shown to have modulatory effects on both the innate and adaptive immune system in vitro and in vivo. Animal studies suggest that WF10 enhances immunity against tumors. One possible explanation for such an effect is that WF10 stimulates natural killer cell cytotoxicity against malignant cells.
