Title:
Enhancement of the Excretion of Radiocaesium in Rats by Ferric cyanoferrrate

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Carrier-free 137CsCl and Ferric cyanoferrate (II) (Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3) were administered separately by a gastric tube to rats, who fasted for 20 hours, and the retention of 137Cs assayed by whole- body counting.
GLP compliance:
not specified

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Ferric cyanoferrate
IUPAC Name:
Ferric cyanoferrate
Details on test material:
- Name of test material: Ferric cyanoferrate (II)
- Molecular formula: (Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3)

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The results show a pronounced suppression of the enteral 137Cs- absorption even if ferric cyanoferrate (II) was given as late as 60 min after 137Cs -administration.

Since no toxic side- effects were observed even for the highest dosage of Ferric cyanoferrate (II) used, this findings suggest the therapeutic applicability of this agent in cases of accidental incorporation of radiocaesium.
