Use of rivastigmine in preparation of anti-radiation medicament

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to use of Rivastigmine in the preparation of an anti-radiation medicament, and belongs to the field of medical technology. The present disclosure provides use of Rivastigmine in the preparation of an anti-radiation medicament. Researches show that Rivastigmine significantly promoted the proliferation of Lgr5+ stem cells receiving 10Gy radiation (after being irradiated with 10Gy radiation for 10 d, Lgr5+ stem cells cultured in a Rivastigmine-containing culture solution had an increment 14.2 times of that of the Lgr5+ stem cells cultured in a Rivastigmine-free culture solution). Rivastigmine also significantly reduced the mortality of mice after being irradiated with 10Gy radiation (after receiving 10Gy whole body irradiation, all the mice not intraperitoneally injected Rivastigmine died within 10 d; and for the mice intraperitoneally injected Rivastigmine, the survival rate of the mice was still greater than 40% 30 d later), and thus might have good radiation-proof effect.
