 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 22 Eight kinds of medicinal plants in the role of radiation protection Pharmaceutical Research Keywords: medicinal plants;,, ionizing radiation;,, radiation protectants Abstract: The choice of eight kinds of activity has been proven to radiation protection of plants, and their research progress in recent years are reviewed. The development of new radiation protective agent is currently a hot pharmaceutical research, taking into account their radiation therapy, space exploration, and even a nuclear war, radiation environment such as the potential value in use. Keywords:: medicinal plants; ionizing radiation; radiation protectants Summary of Eight Radioprotective Medicinal Plants Abstract: The development of radioprotective agents has been the subject of intense research in view of their potential use within a radiation environment, such as space exploration, radiotherapy and even nuclear war. This article reviews some of the most promising plants, and their bioactive principles . Keywords:: Medicinal plant; Ionizing radiation; Radioprotective agents Radiation can cause serious acts of animal disorders, even at very low doses of ionizing radiation can lead to impaired memory occurs, higher doses of radiation may cause vomiting, diarrhea and even death. In the past, people on the radiation protective agent research has focused on synthetic or natural sources of compounds for screening, such as anti-oxidants, metals, immune modulators, esters such as polysaccharides and prostaglandins [1]. Walter Reed Army Institute of Research from the United States developed by Amifostine (trade name amifostine) is the only one approved by the U.S. FDA approved radiation protection drug, is used to relieve head and neck cancer patients during radiation treatment of dry mouth symptoms. In recent years, hematopoietic growth factors and cytokines have also been used in the treatment of radiation damage, but their tox
