STUDY OF THE RADIATION-PROTECTIVE ACTION OF SOME PROTECTIVE MATERIALS ON PROTOZOA (in Russian)
The behavior of thiourea derivatives as protective agents during the irradiation of protozoa were investigated together with heroin which possesses a known ability of reducing the radiation reaction of tissues in aqueous solution. It was attempted to determine the effect of toxicity of the radiolytic products and of the medium itself. Cultures of Paramaecium caudatum were used for determining the ef fect of aminoethylisothiuronium bromide hydrobromide, cysteine amine, cystine amine, and heroin. The H/sub 2/Osub 2/ formed during the radiolysis was determined by titration with KMnO/sub 4/. After exposure of the protozea to 100 kr, a protective action was noted by the aminoethylisothiuronium bromide hydrobromide and cystine amine. The lack of efficiency of the cysteine amine is due to its decomposition by radiolysis. (TTT)
