  • Publication number: 20240261349
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical complex for radioprotection is disclosed, as well as its preparation method and applications. Within the pharmaceutical complex, the binding between Amifostine and natural microalgae is driven by osmotic pressure. The complex is gradually degraded in the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. The degradation of the complex makes it thoroughly cover the intestine and slowly release the drug, thereby increasing the drug concentration in the small intestine, sufficiently exerting radioprotective effects on the intestinal tissues, and avoiding systemic toxicity to the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, the pharmaceutical complex can function as supplementary nutritional substances and regulate intestinal inflammation. The excellent oral safety, feasible preparation, simple storage, and intake of the complex prompt absorption efficiency and oral safety settle the existing issues of drug preparation technologies.
