N2 - Three aminoalkyl phosphorothioates, WR-2721, WR-3689, and WR-77913, were compared as radioprotectors of RIF-1 tumors irradiated in vivo and assayed for cell survival in vitro. The protector doses were 50% of the acute drug LD50. The radiation dose modifying factors for the three drugs were nearly equal, ranging from 1.5 to 1.7 at surviving fractions of 0.1 and 0.05. Using biodistribution data obtained with 35S labeled drugs, the uptake in tumors was calculated as micromoles drug per gram of tumor. On this basis, tumor levels of WR-77913 were 4.5-fold those of WR-2721, and WR-3689 uptake was 2.7-fold greater than uptake of WR-2721. Thus, on molar basis, WR-2721 appears to be the most effective protector, but all three phosphorothioates protect this tumor moderately well. In diffusible substance autoradiographs of 3H WR-3689 labeled tumors, label was generally distributed over cells with no evidence of preferential localization over nuclei.
