Abstract

Most radioprotective agents are not discriminatory as they can protect both tumor and healthy tissue. The effects of radioprotective agents on radiation-induced free radicals in the extracellular ground substance were investigated by ESR spectroscopy. In a study using the quaternary nitrogen detergents cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) evidence shows that the mucopolysaccharide chondroitin sulfate was afforded radiation protection by CPC.
