Cepharanthin, a type of alkaloid, was injected subcutaneously in mice and rats. In the injected group there was a marked decrease of the death rate and an inhibition of the decrease of body weight. Cepharanthin was effective for reduction of and recovery from radiation anemia and leukopenia. In particular, administration of cepharanthin prevented the acute blood changes following irradiation. This drug was more effective in radiation disease than cobalt- greenpole and may be of some value for clinical use. (Absts. Japan. Med., 1: No. 7, 1960.)
