Indian journal of experimental biology, 30(6), 478-481 (1992-06-01)
Differential radioprotection between normal tissues and carcinoma was observed in C3H/J mice treated with a combination of 5-hydroxy L-tryptophan (5-HTP, 100 mg/kg) and 2-aminoethylisothiuronium bromide hydrobromide (AET, 20 mg/kg). Protection to normal tissues was judged by LD50(30) and by radiation

Mutation research, 422(2), 339-345 (1998-12-05)
The effect of sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) and S-2-aminoethyl-isothiouronicadenosin-5-triphosphate (adeturon) in the induction of Escherichia coli SOS response promoted by gamma-irradiation was studied by measuring the induction of sulA gene and the induction of lambda prophage. Furthermore, as a way of
