Abstract
Several decades ago it had been demonstrated that chlorophyllin, and its water soluble derivates, such as chlorophyllin, have therapeutic values. recently an antimutagenic activity has been observed in several tests. The aim of this work is to investigate if chlorophyllin has some radioprotective effect when the organisms are exposed to gamma-rays. The somatic mutation and recombination test in drosophila was used. This test allows us to detect simultaneously both genetic mutation, chromosomal aberration and mitotic recombination. The conduction of the experiment involved four treatments: (1) 5% sucrose, (2) 5% chlorophyllin, (3) 5% sucrose +20Gy{gamma}rays (4) 5% chlorophyllin +20Gy{gamma}rays. All the treatments lasted 24 hours and three replicas were performed. The data obtained showed a significant decrease in spot frequency found in the treatment with chlorophyllin and {gamma} rays. From the results we are to conclude that the chlorophyllin has a radioprotective effect, when the drosophila larvae are irradiated with 20 Gy OF {gamma}rays. Mitotic recombination was affected in the same way and it is important because genetic recombination process are related to cancer induction. (Author).
