Previous experiments on animals revealed that heterocyclic derivatives of amino alkyl isothiourea (AAIT) are among the most effective radioprotective agents. Among these compounds, the following have high and prolonged radioprotective activity: 2-amino-5,6-dihydro-1,3-thiazine (2-ADT); 2-amino-2-thiazoline (2-AT); and 5-methyl-2-amino-2-thiazoline (5-MAT). Heterocyclic compounds were found to be quite stable in the organism. The mechanism of radioprotective action of this group of compounds has not yet been identified; as shown by polarographic studies, they do not have an appreciable effect on oxygenation of tissues and they do not alter the thiol content of tissues. This prompted the question of whether the radioprotective effect of these compounds is related to their direct action on the cellular elements of radiosensitive systems of the organism. This study pursued the objective of determining whether heterocyclic derivatives of AAIT are capable of lowering radiosensitivity of bone marrow cells in vitro and in situ.
