GAMMA IRRADIATION OF SOME UNSATURATED STEROIDS
Journal Article
·
· Intern. J. Appl. Radiation and Isotopes
The chemical and physical effects of radiation on some steroids, mainly in the powdered form, were investigated. The steroid hormones, cortisone, prednisone, and progesterone, were found to show high stability to radiation damage to supersterilization doses (6 to 18 Mrad) both in presence and absence of air. Ergosterol and calciferol were found to be sensitive to radioinduced oxidation in air, and their oxidation products were characterized. These reactions of ergosterol and calciferol probably proceed by a free radical chain process since the G value for product formation exceeds 20. (D.L.C.)
