The invention relates to the technical field of biological
medicine, in particular to application of
nobiletin in prevention and treatment of
ionizing radiation damage. The
nobiletin provided by the invention is extracted from plants, is of a natural
flavonoid structure, has high compatibility with endogenous metabolites of a
human body, and has good
biocompatibility. Animal experiments prove that when the
medicine is administrated at the optimal effective
dose (200mg / kg) and 12 hours before
irradiation, no obvious
toxic reaction is shown, the
immunogenicity is low, the
medicine is suitable for long-term or conventional
radiation protection application, the common problems of adverse reaction and accumulated
toxicity in synthesis of protective medicines are solved, and meanwhile, the medicine can be in the optimal action state when being exposed to
radiation, so that the medicine can be applied to
radiation protection for a long time. The survival time of irradiated mice is remarkably prolonged, acute
radiation injury pathological symptoms such as intestinal
edema and villus shortening are effectively improved, intestinal crypt regeneration and
stem cell proliferation are promoted, and reliable
radiation protection efficiency is shown.
