Effect of radioprotector indralin on carboplatinum hemotoxicity.
A decrease in carboplatinum hemotoxicity was detected in experiments on C57B1 mice treated with the drug in combination with indralin (urgent radioprotector). Carboplatinum in a dose of 125 mg/kg, injected intraperitoneally, caused 80-100% death; the median term of death was 6 days (3-17). Single oral dose of indralin (100 mg/kg) during the 1st min or 15 min after carboplatinum injection (125 mg/kg) increased animal survival by 40.0-46.7% by day 20 of the experiment primarily during the period of manifest hemotoxicity (days 7-17), indralin injected 1, 2, or 4 h after carboplatinum exhibited no chemoprotective effect.
