Preferred Label : Liposome-encapsulated Recombinant Human Cu/Zn Superoxide-dismutase;
NCIt synonyms : Liposome-encapsulated Recombinant Human Cu/Zn SOD;
NCIt definition : A topical hydrophilic gel containing a recombinant form of the human Cu/Zn superoxide
dismutase (SOD1), a cytoplasmic antioxidant enzyme, encapsulated in liposomes with
potential anti-inflammatory and adjuvant activities. Upon application of liposome-encapsulated
recombinant human Cu/Zn SOD as a thin film on the irradiated area, the recombinant
SOD1 is released and scavenges free oxygen radicals, thereby protecting cells from
oxidative stress. This may prevent radiation-induced dermatitis as well as other types
of skin reactions.;
