The radioprotector 2-[aminopropyl)amino] ethanethiol (WR1065), which has been reported to reduce the cytotoxic and mutagenic effects of low LET radiation, was investigated for its ability to protect against low LET (60Co gamma ray) and high LET (fission-spectrum neutron)-induced chromosome damage in V79 cells. Cells were irradiated in G2 phase in the presence or absence of 4 mM WR1065 and were harvested and analyzed 2 h later for chromatid-type aberrations. Irradiation of G2-phase V79 cells in the presence of WR1065 resulted in a 30 to 50% reduction in the frequency of gamma-ray and neutron-induced chromatid-type breaks and exchanges. The effects were found only after exposures of greater than 200 cGy gamma-ray or 50 cGy neutron irradiation. The radioprotector was effective at reducing neutron-induced aberrations after exposures at dose rates of both 10 and 43 cGy/min. Thus the radioprotector WR1065 is an effective anti-clastogenic agent in V79 cells, protecting against both 60Co gamma-ray and fission-spectrum neutron-induced aberrations, when present during irradiation.

D005720 Gamma Rays Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
