| Bioactivity | Methylproamine is a DNA-binding radioprotector, acts by repair of transient radiation-induced oxidative species on DNA. Methylproamine also protects against ionizing radiation by preventing DNA double-strand breaks[1]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | Methylproamine also protects against ionizing radiation by preventing DNA double-strand breaks[1].Methylproamine can protect bystander cells from radiation-induced DNA damage[2].Methylproamine has a concentration-dependent radioprotective effect[3] Cell Cytotoxicity Assay[3] Cell Line: | ||||||||||||
