Biologists from RTU MIREA (Russian University of Technology, formerly the Moscow Institute of Radio Engineering, Electronics and Automation) have discovered a chlorine-based cancer treatment. writes about this RT.
Scientists have reportedly synthesized a molecule that can capture a radionuclide and transport it to the tumor. A drug based on it could be used for the diagnosis of tumors with technetium uptake and for high-sensitivity treatment with lutetium uptake.
It was noted that the drug was tested on animals at doses 50 times the therapeutic dose, but did not cause fatal consequences in the test subjects.
Before recognizedIt was revealed that lithium carbonate prevented the development of anxiety and depression in cancer.
According to the study’s authors, the findings could form the basis for the development of neuroprotective treatment technologies aimed at eliminating damage to brain cells and relieving symptoms of depression. Lithium medications are currently used to treat manic phases of bipolar disorder. However, such drugs can have a toxic effect on the kidneys when the concentration of the active substance in the body increases.
