| Research Abstract |
Relationship between the activities of radioprotectors in the radiation chemical reaction of DNA and its base components and in the incubated cellular system was investigated in order to develop new types of radioprotectors for clinical and industrial uses. The followings are the summary of results obtained in this research project:
(1) Aqueous thymine solution containing various radioprotectors was gamma-irradiated to determine the G-value of thymine glycol as a characteristic product due to radiolytic hydroxylation of thymine, from which radiation chemical activity of radioprotectors were evaluated.
(2) Influences of alcohols and thiols as additives on the radiolysis of aqueous thymine solution and the thymine glycol formation were investigated to clarify the reactivities of primary active species generated in the radiolysis and the reaction mechanism of radioprotection.
(3) Various kinds of liphoamide derivatives were synthesized to evaluate their radioprotecting activity in the radiation chemical assay system.
(4) The radioprotecting activity of various compounds for EMT6 single cell was correlated to the extent of depression of thymine glycol formation in the radiation chemical reaction system.
(5) Pharmacokinetic behavior of an N_1-substituted 1,2,4-triazole derivative bearing thioamide grope in the side-chain was investigated. This compound was quite stable in plasma to keep constant in its concentration for long period.
In conclusion, we could establish a conventional screening method using radiation chemical and incubated cellular systems. It is further necessary to evaluate the radioprotecting activity of various types of compounds in vivo using animals.
