STUDY ON CHEMICAL PROTECTION AGAINST RADIATION INJURY. III. EFFECT OF BETA- MERCAOTIETGTKANUBE HCl (MEA), S-BETA-AMINOETHYL-ISOTHIURONIUM Br, HBr (AET), PENICILLAMINE, IMETHYL-2-MERCAPTOIMIDAZOL (MMI) AND 1-METHIONINE

Sixty-day-old mice were given a single whole-body dose of 800 r or 600 r, after intraperitoneal injection of doses of radioprotective compounds near the LD/sub 50/ or in a non-toxic range. MEA, AET, and 1-methionine were protective while penicillamine and MMI tended to increase radiosensitivity. Penicillamine was protective at some dosages. Of the agents tested, MEA was most effective, and might be a practical agent for radiation protection. MEA and AET were effective in a dose of half LD/sub 50/. (Absts. Japan. Med., 1: No. 6, 1961)
