The effect of penicillamine on radiation-induced pulmonary lethality in mice

B Percarpio et al. Radiology. 1979 Jun.

Abstract

The collagen inhibitor D-penicillamine was evaluated as a potential radiation reaction preventive agent by studying its effect on deaths attributed to pulmonary damage in mice. Long-term administration of D-penicillamine at a rate of 100 mg/kg/day had no significant effect on the LD50/160 in mice following pulmonary irradiation.
