TITLE: On the Determination of Organoaluminum Compounds by the Indica- tor Method PERIODICAL: Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR, 1959, Vol 128, Nr 2, PP 309-311 (USSR) ABSTRACT: The compounds mentioned in the title are used as catalysts in the polymerization of ethylene, propylene and other a-olefinee, generally in the form of diluted solutions (0.1-laA). There is no quick and simple method of analyzing such solutions, It was of interest to clarify of what kind is the interaction of the aluminum alkyls, -aryls, and thair derivatives with indicators and organic bases. It might be assumed that titration is pos- sible in the presence of the uaual acidic-alkaline indicators, The compounds mentioned below were, for this purpose, dissolved in toluene rid of oxygen, and mixed with solutions of methyl violet in dichloroethane. It was found that the indicator, by Card 1/3 addition of Al(C 2H5)3 or ita halogen derivatives, turns from SOV/20-128-2-24/59 On the Determination of Organcaluminum Compounds by the Indicator Method violet (alkaline form) into yellow or green (acid fo - Al(C H ) (supplied by Ye. V. Mitrofanova) and Al C rm~ 6 5 3 ( 4H9 3 (sup- plied by A. F. Popov) had a similar effect on theindicator. When an excess of any organic base is added to these yellow or green solutions, they turn violet again. Compounds of type AlR20R and AlR(OR)2 do not change the color of the indicator. The neutral properties of these substances can probably be ex- plained by the screening of the 3P-level of the aluminum by free electron doublets of the oxygen. The authors titrated the compounds mentioned in the title with some organic bases: butyl- and ethyl acetate, dimethyl aniline, ethyl ether, pyridine, etc while indicators were used. Such indicators were chosen which are well soluble in organic solvents, and produce a distinct color change in the equivalent point. As a rule, they contained amino groups: methyl violet, crystal violet, gentian violet, etc. Figure 1 shows (a,blvig) the titration curves of Al(C6H 5)3 and A102H 5)2CI, of AlC2H5C121 of the Card 2/3 sesquichloride, and of A102H 5)2Brby dimethyl aniline in toluene SOV/20-128-2-24/59 On the Determination of Organoaluminum Compounds by the Indicator Method in the presence of =ethyl violet. The results obtained allow the following conclusions: 1) The said curves remind of those of the titration of strong acide by strong bases. The aluminum alkyls and -aryls are rather strong aprotonic acids. 2) Di- methyl aniline reacts with these acids in a ratio of 1 : 1. 3) Al(C 2H5)2 Br and Al C2H5 C12are very different from A106 H5)3 and Al(C2 H5)2 Br with respect to their strength. 4) Al(C 2H5)2 Br behaves like a dibasic acid, which circumstance has not yet been explained satisfactorily. 5) When Al(C 2H1)2Cl and Al C2H5 C~ are present at the same time, they can be determined separately. Table 1 reveals that there is a parallelism between the results obtained by the dilution method, and the electrochemical data. On this basis, the authors put the acids in the following order with respect to their strength: Al(C 2H5)3 < Al(C2H5)2C'< Al(C2H5 )2 Br < AlC2H5Cl 2' There are 1 figure, 1 tablep and 2 references.

TITLE: Certain rules on polymerization of ethylene on heterogeneous catalysts PERIODICAL: Vysokomolekulyarnyye soyedineniya, v. 3, no. 1, 1961, 81-83 TEXTs The authors point out the fact that the catalysts of the type TiCl4 plus organometallic alkylating agent used for the preparation of low- pressure polyethylene rapidly lose their high activity in the course of the reaction, dropping to one sixth of the initial activity within 30 to 40 min. The present work attempts to find the causes for this drop in activity. Experiments were carried out on polymerization of polyethylene on catalysts of the systems TiCl 4 + AlR 3 (Al(C2 11 5)2 Br, Al C2H5 C12, Al(C2H5)2 0C2H5' Al(C2 H5)3v AIC2H5Cl(OC 2H5) and other compounds).

B119/B216 catalysts were prepared by inixing the components under argon in a special thermostat and kept there for use. Catalyst activitv was determined from the initial polymerization rate and, with the same results, from the polyethylene yield. It %,:as found that the activity of all the catalyats is low at the very outset but increases to a maximum within 4 to 5 jain and then drops to practically zero within another 20 to 30 min. The same effect was observed on catalysts removed from the argon atmosphere and placed in the reaction vessel in the absence of ethylene for polymerization. The authors found that the activity of a catalyst of the type under study de- pends on the concentration rat~jq of Ti31 and Ti4+ (low initial activity dud to the sole presence of TO ,, maximum activity on reaching the optimum T13+ : Ti4+ ratio, followed by decrease with increasini Ti3+ content). Further experiments showed that the optimum Ti3+ s Ti4 .ratio and thus also the maximum activity may be maintained constant by careful addition of a corresponding quantity of okiiizing agent (to reoxidize excess Ti)+). Air and.0 respectively, -,~,ere used as oxidizing agents. There are 3 2' figures and 3 non-Soviet-bloc references. S/081/61/000/024/031/086 B117/B147 AUTHORS: Razuvayev, G.

(Gorlkiy), no. 3, 196o. 373 - 380) TEXT: The oxidation of solutions of Al(C2H 5)3 (1) and its derivatives in n-heptane has been studied at various temperatures and concentrations. Reaction products were analyzed as to their content of peroxide compounds and their decomposition products. Peroxide compounds with an amount in- creasing with decreasing concentration of the solution and decreasing re- action temperature are very unstable. At 200C they decompose in very weak solutions almost immediately to give oxy derivatives of 1, The following oxidation pattern of I is proposed: Card 1/2 S/081/61/000/024/031/o86 Oxidation of triethyl B117/B147 I + 0 2 -->[Al-00+(C2 H031 -~,(C2H5)2 A100C2H5--AIC 2H5(OC2H 5)2 (11); II + I---~:,M(c 2H 5)2 OC2H5 (111). The polymerizability of II and III in the case ofoL-olefins was studied on systems of I + II + III + TiCl 4' Oxidation products of I and of its derivatives are ordinary catalysts of the Ziegler type but much less reactive. When they are added to I. the quality of the resulting polymer is not deteriorated, but the catalytic activity of I and the molecular weight of the polymer are lowered, In order to eliminate the detrimental effect of the admixture, it is re- commended that the total concentration of the TiCl /RAI catalyst and the 4 a ratio of C 2H5 to Ti should be increased at the same t--me.

TITLZ: Synthesis and some'properties of diethoxy aluminum peroxy cumene PERIODICAL: Akademiya nauk SSSR. Iz vestiy~. Otdeleniye khimicheakikh nauk, no. 9, 1962, 1555 - 1559 TEXT: It is sought to synthesize stable aluminum organic peroxide compounds free from impurities. Three syntheses were*studied: (1) the react'ion of diethoxy ethyl aluminum with cumene hydrogen peroxide, (~) that of triethoxy aluminum with cumene.hydrogen peroxide, and (3) that of diethoxy aluminum chloride with the Na-salt of cumene hydrogen pegoxide. Reaction (1) takes place only at temperatures higher than 15 - 2 0 C and in practice is not completed. Reaction (2), occurring at a maximum temperature of 26 - 30 0C likewise does not complete its course and the reaction mixture contains no compound with an R-Al bond.

The 2 5)2 9 11 peroxide C(C 2H50 2)AlOOC(CH 3)2- C6H is a solid, white, amorphous substance which melts and decomposes at 113 C; it is easily soluble in xylene, benzene and chloroform. Its solution in xylene decomposes appreciably fast even at room temperature. At 900C the decomposition is energetic. Its -oroduct.9 are dimethyl-phenyl carbinol, acetophenone, a-methyl styrene, ethyi alcohol and aluminum hydroxide. The polymerization of methyl methacrylate, styrene, acrylonitrile, vinylidene chloride and vinyl chloride using (C 2H50)2 AlOOC(Cff 3)2'C6ff5 as radical catalystv gave a good yield of polymers.

The results of these radiation-tests in bacteria are compiled in a table. In their action upon microorganisms before and during the radiation neither carbon monoxide nor potassium cyanide exerted a favorable influence upon the capability of propagation of the radiated bacteria. In most cases even a tendency toward intensifictttion of the radiation-dama~ze was noticed in the presence of potassium cyanide and carbon monoxide. Thus the oppression of the re- spiration-enzyme-systems does not change the sensitivity to radiation of the bacteria Escherichia coli. The authors further investigated the influence of potassium cyanide upon the radiation-damage of mammals (white mice).

PERIODICAL: Doklady Akad.Nauk SSSR, 1957, Vol- 115, Nr 4, PP. 7o2 - 705 (USSR) ABSTRACT: At first reference is made to 16 relevant earlier works. The pre- sent paper shall determine how the distribution of substances in- troduced into the organism changes under the influence of radia- tion and by what the changes are determined. The test was made with 6-8 weeks old white mice of both sexes with a weight of from 18 to 22 g. The entire animals were once irradiated with X-rays (dose 40, loo and 5000 r with a dose power of 47 -84 r/min)- In the first series of tests the distribution of a neut- ral red dyestuff and of methylene blue in the organs of normal and irradiated mice was investigated. These dyestuffs were intra- venously introduced at different times (2 and 0' hours, 1 and 3 days). 6o minutes after the introduction of the dyestuff the ani- mals were beheaded and the dyestuff extracted from liver, spleen, brain, lungs, kidneys and intestines.

Besides the finding of a correlation between the radio sensitivity of the cells and the hematoporphyrine, which is contained in them, would render possible, the explanation of the mechanism of the initial reaction, which takes place under the influence of the radiation. In this connection the authors wanted to explpain, how far this dye-like substance can change the radio sensitivity of a cell. The effect of the following dyes w:~s investigated: Hematoporphyrine (0,001 - 0,005 %), tiypa- flavine (0 00092 - 0,0001 %), and fluorescine (0,00005 - Card 1/3 - 0,0002 %~- 300 parametia.

Also the other conditions of the irradiation are Given. As second control for the darkness effect of the dye (control II) parametia, were used, which were submerged for 60 minutes in the highest concentrations of the dye and which were not irradiated. The authors observed the velocity of cell division and the rate of survival of the animals. The results of these experiments are compiled in a table. An ionizing radiation of 100 kiloroentgen noticeably suppresses the tempo of the division of the infusoria'on the first day after the action of the radiation. But the preparation velocity was normalized completely already on tite second day. The here applied fluorescence-materials did not sensitize the infusoria aFainst the Roentgen radiation. The dyes under the influence of 100 kiloroent-en did not become toxic either and the sensitivity of the irradiated parametia against the Card 2/3 colours does not change noticeably in this case.

These experi-menis were carried out on Paramecium caudatum, the method of the investigations was discussed in previous papers (Refs lt2), The variations of the rate of cell fission and of the percentage of the surviving organisms of Paramecium caudatum after single and repeated irradiations were used as criteria. The unicellular organisms were irradiated by a dose of 100 000 r at a temperature of OOC.

But the rate of the cell fission is diminished by 80% on the first day after the irradiation. After 2-3 days, the fission velocity is restored to its initial value. The variations of the radiosensitivity of the Paramecia under the influence of radiation were investigated by repeated irradiation of the same dose (100 000r). There were various intervals between the initial and the repeated irradiations. After repeated irradiation of the parameciae by 100 OOOr (in intervals of 3 and 6 hours, total dose 200 kr) the death rate amounted to 93 and 87%, respectively. But the slowing down of the fission velocity was not noticeably different from the parameciae whic'.1i were irradiated only once. The authors then investigated the radiosensitivity for the case that the total dose of radiation is gradually increased. The decrease of the fission velocity did not depend on the total dose, it was caused by the immediately received dose.

The amount of mathemoglo- bin distinctly grows already 5 minutes after the introducti~,-l of sodium nitritep and it reaches its maximum value (65 5) 40-60 minutes after the introduction of sodium nitrite. The content of methemoClobin maintains this value for 1 - 1,5 ~,ours. A distinct protective effect of sodium nitrite cannot be o~,served before 20 minutes after its introduction into the organism. The maximum of the protective effect was observed 40 - 60 minutes after the introdution. The period of the maximum intensity of the protective action corresponds to the period of the highest content of methemoTlobin in the blood. In the experiments with carbon monoxide, the coincidence of the curves of the hemo,globin inactivation and of the survival rate was still better. A connection between the quantity of the inactivat(.d hemoglobin and the intensity of the protective effect was found. The protection due to carbon monoxide is more efficient. The following conclusion may be drawn from the data discussed in this paper: The protective effect of the prophylactic introduction of sodium nitrite or carbon monoxide before and during the irradiation is caused by the Card 2/3 hypoxis. duo to the suppression of the oxygen transport.

Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR, 1959, Vol 124, Nr 2, PP 440-443 (USSR) ABSTRACT: Nucleic compounds are early and easily depolymerized in the organ- ism if radiation reaction develops. In vitro relatively small doses of irradiation are sufficient (Refs 4,8,10). The synthesis of nucleic acids is disturbed in directly irradiated as well as in screened body parts (Refs 11-13)- Several investigations (Refs 14-16) have shown that the damage of the cells due to irradiation is not directly connected with the preceding change of the amount of nucleic acids. It had-to be determined,whether the changes of the content of free nucleotides is due to local irradiation effects or to remote action. Experiments were carried out with white mice of both sexes. They were irradiated with 700 r X-rays. The follow- ing variants were applied: 1) total irradiation; 2) irradiation of the right part of the body; 3) irradiation of one back extremity; Card 1/3 4) screening of both back extremities with lead plates of a SOV/20-59-124-2-56/71 On the 'Ways of Action of the Ionizing Radiation on the Content of Free Nucleo- tides and Nucleosides in the Bone Marrow Cells thickness of 3 mm. The mice -were killed 6 hours after the irradia- tion. The amount of nucleotides in the nuclei of the myeloblasts and neutrophileB in the bone,marrow of the irradiated and screened extremity was determined by means of ultraviolet cytophotometry, Figure 1 and 2 show the measurement results of the optical density (of the proportional concentration) of free nucleotides in the myeloblast nuclei of normal and irradiated animals. In the,case of total irradiation the average optical density of the acid-soluble fraction decreases by five times approximately. Unexpectedly, the optical density is clearly yeduced (by about 50 %) also in the screened extremities, irrespective of the size of the surface which was screened. From the experimental results the authors draw the conclusion that the remote action of irradiation exerts almost the same effect on the amount of nucleotides. A somewhat stronger effect at direct irradiation as compared to the screened bone marrow may be due to the fact that the factors causing the remote action had been formed in the immediate vicinity of the parts investigated.

TITLE: Study of the Mechanism of the Radioprotective Action of Some Sulfur Containing Substances -17 PERIODICAL: Doklady Akademii nauk 355R, 19609 Vol. 1339 No- 4Y pp. 969-972 TEXT: The authors present five hypotheses on the radioprotective effect of some sulfhydryls and some thiurcnium compounde which are structurally related with them. These substances are one of the most effective radio- protective substances. The data of publications do not allow the esta blish- ment of a connection between the radiation resistiNity of an organism and the state of its regulating systems. The protective effect has approximate- ly the same degree in biological objects at different stages of development. The authors mention further inadequate explanations of the protective ef- fect (Refs. 11, 15). The assumption that the protective effect of sulfur containing compounds is due to the so-called "oxygen effect" (Refs. 10, 16-25) is the mostu probable. In conclusiong the authors state that the Card 1/4 82526 Study of the Mechanism of the Radioprotective S/02(bO/133/04/30/031 Action of Some Sulfur Containing Substances B016/Bo67 hypothesis according to which the protective affect of the substance con- cerned is based on the anoxia in the organism, that it is also based on t_r rather contradictory dataq and that it must not be regarded as proved. The authors wanted to explain the role of the level of molecular oxygen in tissues for the protective effect. For this purpose they used grown-up white mice. The above-mentioned effect and the oxygen tension in the liver and the spleen were studied at different periods after subcutaneous injec- tion of the following compounds: oysteamin, oystamin, Br.HBr-2-aminosthyl isothiuronium (AET), Br.HBr-2-amino--5--isothiuronium-methyl-thiazolin (ARIT), furthermorep HC1.oysteine and SH glutgthione. The animals were once totally irradiated with gamma rays of Cc 0 (dose: 900r; dose intensi- ty! 378 r/min, for 2 min 21 seo).They were irradiated 15? 309 60, 1209 and 160 min after the injection. The duration of life was observed within a period of 30 days. Table 1 shows the number of experimental animals. Fig. 1 shows the results obtained with eysteamin. This substance has a considerable protective effect; it does,, however, not reduce the 02 content, but increases it in the spleen. Fig. 2 shows that also eystamin does not reduce the oxygen tension during the duration of the protective affect. 2 82526 Study of the Mechanism of the Radioproteotive S/020/60/133/04/30/031 Action of Some Sulfur Containing Substances' B016/BO67 In introducing AET 15 min before the irradiation the protective effect becomes distinctly marked (Fig. 3 A). The 0 2 content is only slightly reduced. Analogously, AIMT has 'a weaker effect on the 0 2 level; its pro- tective effect is also much weaker and only of a short duration (Fig. 3 B). Gyatein (Fig. 4) and SH gluthathione tension hardly change the 0 2 in both organs, they have, however, a considerable protective effect. From these results the authors draw the conclusion that the protective effect is not caused by tissue hypoxia. At the same time it is assumed that the Gffect of the above-mentioned protective substances is, nevertheless, connected with the "oxygen effeat". Hence, it may be assumed that this effect is not necessarily connected with the radiolysis of water. Perhaps, it may be explained by the formation of potential disturbances in biological objects, which may take place only during the oxidation by molecular oxy- gen. In this caseq the protective effect of the substances under considera- tion can be related to their capability of preventing the oxidation by molecular oxygen of thellstructures" damaged by radiation.

To check this assumption a study was made of the pro- tective effect of aminoethyl-isothiuronium (AET) Br.HBr. on animals irra- diated in varying states of hypothermy. The experiments were conducted with white mice exposed to single gamma-radiation from a co60 source in a dose of 900 r (LD 100/15 ) at an intensity of 320 r/min.

The protective agent was injected subcutaneously at 9-10 mg per mouse in 0.05 ml of distilled water 15 min before irrad- iation or 10 - 20 sec after it. The number of animals that survived for more than 30 days after irradiation and the life span of those animals which died beyond this period was taken as the criterion of the effect- iveneas of AET. The results showed that prophylactic injection of AET into mice with a body temperature of 370 C gave a marked increase in the survival rate of the irradiated animals and increased the average life of the animals which died. The propylactic effect was lower in mice with a body temperature of 180 C. At 60 C no protective action was not- ed, due perhaps to disturbance of the resorption and admission of the AET to the radiation-sensitive systems or to inhibition of its conver- sions. The AET was ineffective in all cases when introduced after irra- diation. The authors' findings conform to those of D.E. Smith (Ref. 5: Radiation Res., 12, 79, 1960) who found that the administration of cy- steine after irradiation to animals of the genus Citellus irradiated in a state of hibernation with a body temperature of 50 C had no protective Card 2/3 30366 S/205/61/001/005/001/005 A study of the mechanism of D299/D304 effect,, The authors conclude that the postradiation administration of pro- tective agents to homiothermal mammals cannot weaken radiation lesions of the body.

TITLE: The effect of cell suspension density on radiosensi- tivity of yeasts PERIODICAL: Radiobiologiya, v. 1, no. 6, 19619 878 - 886 TEXT: The correlation between concentration of suspensions and radiosensitivity was studied in 5 yeast strains: the haploid Zygo- saccharomyces bailii, diploid Saccharomyces vini Megri 139-B, and 3 strains of S. cereViBiaet haploid 127-12 d, diploid WY-110, and tetraploid 16 x 32. Strains were cultured on wort agar at 28 - 300C and irradiated after 2 - 3 days development. Either aliquots obtai- ned by scraping hard medium or by centrifuging dense solutions, or suspensions with a concentration of 109 - 1o4 cells/ml. were irra.- diated. A PYn-200 apparatus (RUP-200 industrial X-ray unit 200) with a dose rate of 5 p 400 r/min. was the X-ray source, and a ]-,,,T-.

Cell viability was determined 0by counting macro- and micro-coloniesp incubated on wort agar at 30 0, according to me- thods previously described by Korogodin (Ref. 8-9: Biofizikag 2, 1789 1957; 3, 206, 1958). Oxygen content in aqueous suspensions at different concentrations was determined polarographically by a me- thod described by Konstantinova and Grayevskiy (Ref. 10: Dokl. A.N SSSR, 132, 14279 1960). Aqueous suspensions of the 3 S. cerevisiae strains exposed to X-rays showed a fall in dose effectiveness as the cell suspension concentration increased. The oxygen content was determined polarographically in suspensions at different concentra- tions. Results showed a clearifall in oxygen tension as the suspen- sion concentration increased. Respiration intensity was determined in Z. Bailii and Megri 139-B and showed that the Q02 for the former was 840 � 156, and for the latter 3,100 � 320 Pl./hour for 1010 cells. It was much lower in haploid than in diploid cells, Accord- ingly the concentration effect would be weaker in Z~ bailii than in Megri 139-B. If the effect were due io oxygen deficiency, sus- pension concentration would affect radiosensitivity rather less nPrd 2/9 32750 S/205/61/001/006/010/022 The effect of cell suspension D268/11305 with irradiation in oxygen-free conditions than in aerated waterp especially in a strain with low respiration intensity, This would be in line with the views of Gunter and Kohn (Ref. 3: J.Decteriol., 72, 422, 1956). 106 cells/ml. suspensions and aliquots from both strains were exposed to gamma-irradiation in the atmosphere and in a vacuum, and viability determined according to micro-colonies. Re- sults completely confirmed the proposition. The dose effectiveness reduction coefficient for the haploid strain irradiated in air was 0.819 and for the diploid 0.47. In conditions of anoxiao no concen- tration effect was observed for the formerg while in the latter the dose effectiveness reduction coefficient was O,~81. Oxygen content in suspensions in a vacuum was 3 - 5 % copared with that in dilute suspensions in the air. Irradiation of 10 cells/ml. suspensions of haploids and diploids in 5 and 10 % egg protein solutions with gamma-rays showed no protective reactions by the proteins. Accord- ing to Gunter and Kohn yeast cells are also only very mildly sen- sitive to H202. Tests were made with 4 strains. Results showed that though they differed in their sensitivityq haploids being most sen- sitive, H202 only affected viability noticeably at concentrations Card 3/5 32750 S/205/61/001/006/010/022 The effect of cell suspension ... D268/D305 of 13.4 and 28.8 pg./ml. Experiments were also made to determine the effect of suspension concentration at the time of irradiation on post-radiation recovery with Megri 139-B, whose post-radiation recovery has been already described by Korogodin (Ref. 7: Biofizi.- kag 3, 7039 1958). Exposure was to gamma-irradiation. Part of the suspension was sown on nutrient medium immediately after irradia- tion and part at 24 - 48 hours. Viability was determined by macro- colonies. In both cases change in dose effectiveness was largely dependent on suspension concentration at irradiation. The extent of post-radiation recovery of yeast cells was virtually indepen,1ent of their concentration at irradiation, the dose effectiveness reduc- tion coefficient fluctuating within 0.41 :t'O~,03- It is concluded that at concentration effect was produced when yeast cells were ir- radiated with X- and gamma-rays in normal air and in one case with oxygen deficiency. Radiosensitivity was ind.ependent of suspension density up to a concentration of 106 cells/ml., but increased pro- portionally to the concentration logarithm with a further increase in density. The concentration effect was more pronounced in the strain with greater respiration intensity, The very poor sensitivi- ty of yeast cells to H 0 was demonstrated, as well as the reduct.- n~ 'A AIC; 2 2 32750 S/205/61/001/006/010/022 The effect of cell suspension ...

TITLE: Mechanism of antiradJation effect of dithiols PERIODICAL; Doklady Akademii nauk SSSR~ v. 136, no. 5, 1961, 1219-1222 TEXT: The authors studied the antiradiation effect of dimercapto compounds: 1) of unithiol,. and 2) of dimercapto propionic acid (DMPA) on white mice. They compared the efficienoy of these dithiols with the hypoxia caused by the latter (due to otygen tension). There are only few contradlotory Onttt avt0laWo in hin prot)lom, Tho mioe were totally irradiated withy-raye of CA with a dose of 357 r/min, and with an absolutely lethal dose of 900 r* once for 2 min 28 see. The mentioned protective substances were injected subcutaneously in 0.5 ml distilled water in the following quantities-. unithiol: 20, 14, and 91 DMPA 1.0 and 0,75 mg per animal. Unithiol was applied at 11 intervals between 10 and !80 min, DMPA at 6 intervals between 15 and 180 min prior to irradiation. The criterion of the efficiency was the percentage rate of the surviving animals4 and the lifetime of the killed animals up to 20366 S/020/61/136/005/032/032 Mechanism of antiradiation effect B103/B208 the 30th day from irradiation~ The change of oxygen content iii liver and spleen was determined polarographically within 3 hr after injection in vivo and in vitro by means of a platinum electrode of the "open type". (Methods have been previously described in Ref. 2). The curve illustrating the percentage of the animals with a reduced oxygen tension (by more than 50%) (Fig. lo curve 4) served as an additional criterion. The authors found this to be the minimum of hypoxia which effects a protection from radiation. They draw the following conclusions from their experiments! The two substanoes tested effect a distinct protection which remains active for a long time after injection. It is striking that lower dithiol doses (within certain limits) exert a more powerful protection than higher doses. This may be explained by a higher toxidity of maximum doses'of dithiols for irradiated animale. Such doses are better tolerated by non-irradiated mice~ The two tested protective agents reduce considerably and for a long time oxygen tension in the tissue. This effect coincides with the time of the most pronounced protective effect in unithiol doses of 14 and 9 mg, and in DMPA doses of 0.75 mg. The authors conGlude from the data obtained - -1, 20366 S/020/61/136/005/032/032 Mechanism of antiradiation effect,... B103/B208 that the protective effect of dithiols is probably due to hypoxia caus ed by these dithiols in organs sensitive to radiation, in contrast with the effect of the best known sulfur-containing compounda (0-mercapto ethyl amine, or 2-aminoethyl isothiuronium-B-HBr, etc.). The formation raechanism of this hypoxia could not yet be'explained. There are 2 figures and 8 references: 4 Soviot-bloo and I non-Soviet-bloc. ASSOCIATION: Institut morfologii zhivotnykh im. A. N.

TITLE: Relation of ridioprotective activity of indolylalkylamines to' tissue hypoxia and the role of vasoular changes in its development SOURCE: Radiobiologiya, v. 4, no. 2, 1964o-197-202 TOPIC TAGS: radioprotootive action mechanism, indolylalkylamine radioprotective action, tissue hypoxia, vessel spasm, tryptomine der*vative, radioprotective preparation, 4-,5-chlortryptamine, 4-,5-metoxytryptamine, serotonino, alpha-mothyltryptamine, LSD, eystamine, oxygen Intensity, eystamine radioprotective action ABSTRACT: Literature studies have established that indolylalkylamina radioproteetive action is related to tissue hypoxia. This work investigates 4 whether V-he mechanism of this action by determining 1), the position of a substitute in a tryptamine molecule affects its capacity to p;-oduce tissue hypoxia, 2) how '' the introduction of alph a-mothyltrypt amino and LSD affectathe h7poxio'and vasoconstrictive Cardl/3 AGGESSION NR: AP4027966 Taction of the preparations, and 3) how the combined use of .5-metox~trypt amino and cystamine affectsoxygen level and vessel reaction in tissues. The following preparations were administered intraperitonoally to experimental white mice: 4-chlortryptamine (60 mid1crO. 5-chlortryptamine (60 mg/k,9)t 4;metoxytryptamine (60 rzAf,0,5-n, ctok-jtxwrtn~dne (60-mZ/IZ)- - and' orotonine (50 mg/k V g) i h~ after administering alpha-mothyltrwtamines eystamine (1504/kg) combined with metoxytryptamine (50 ~ipjkg),, and LSD (10 m~/kg) combined'with serotonine. Oxygen intensity in the liver and spleen of the aninals i= measured by a polarographic method. Vessel tone was determined by the accumulation of neutral red in the organs 30 min after being introduced (65 mg/kg in a0.5 ml physiological solution). Findings show that tryptamine derivatives with substitutes in the U-h position (5-meton-, 5 fif4 -ohlortryptamine) are highly effective radioprotoctors because of their capacity to produce hypoxia in radiosensi-lu-ive organs by vessel spasms. Tryptamine derivatives with substitutes in 10-ho fourth position (4-chlor-, 4-metoxytryptamine) do not produce hypoxia or vessel spasms and are ineffective radioprotee-: t,ors. Alphla-methyltryptamine and LSD remove the radioprotoctive effect of indolylalkylaminos by preventing the development of vessel spasm and subsequent tissue hypoxia. Cystamine enhances the Co,d 2/3
