Description

Beta-aminoethyl isothiourea (AET) is a sulfur-containing compound with a structure similar to cysteine. It is known to protect against radiation damage and has been investigated as a potential radioprotective agent. AET is synthesized by reacting ethyleneimine with thiourea. It is thought to exert its radioprotective effects by scavenging free radicals produced by ionizing radiation, thus preventing cellular damage. AET has also been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Despite its potential therapeutic applications, AET has been associated with adverse effects, including nausea, vomiting, and hypotension. Further research is necessary to optimize its use and minimize its toxicity. AET is studied as a potential radioprotector and for its pharmacological properties.'

beta-Aminoethyl Isothiourea: A radiation-protective agent that can inhibit DNA damage by binding to the DNA. It also increases the susceptibility of blood cells to complement-mediated lysis. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

" Stimulated and unstimulated 2-day cultured cells were separated into sheep erythrocyte rosetting (E+) and non-rosetting (E-) subpopulations, and ADCC activity was determined by using the slopes of linear dose-response plots as a measure of K cell activity."( The cellular nature of concanavalin A-stimulated antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
