Abstract

Testing the effectiveness of radioprotectors in large animals is an important stage in the introduction of drugs into the practice of medicine. Unique in scale and world practice, comprehensive studies of the radioprotector of emergency action of the drug B-190 (indralin) in experiments on dogs were carried out. Its high radioprotective efficiency was established with gamma, gamma-neutron and proton high energy irradiation. Under gamma irradiation of dogs indralin at an optimal dose of 30 mg/kg had DRF equel 3, the result of which was not recorded in large animals by any of known radioprotectors. It is important that under non-uniform radiation (shielding of abdomen, head or pelvis), protective effect of indralin doubles. The drug is also active in peroral use. Analysis of extrapolation of experimental data on radioprotective properties of indralin from large animals (dogs) to humans on measurement of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity in lymphocytes of peripheral blood is carried out. Activation of SDH during stress response to acute hypoxia, including under the influence of indralin, is associated with the release of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Catecholamines realize their effect through beta-adrenoceptors on lymphocytes. A close correlation was established between the dose and radioprotective effect of indralin and the growth of SDH lymphocyte activity (r = 0.99 p < 0.01). Extrapolation of expected radioprotective effect of indralin per person was carried out according to the formula: DRF = 0.3988e0.009181x[r = 0.995 (0.78–0.9999) p < 0.01], where x is the activity of SDH. DRF of indralin (100 mg intramuscularly) for humans was 1.6. When orally administered indralin at a dose of 450 mg DRF was 1.3.
