摘要

Over the past several decades a large number of natural and synthetic compounds were evaluated against radiation induced damage in a variety of living systems. However, because of adverse side effects and compromising efficacy, as of now there is no single druggable agent available for human application to protect against radiations injury [1]. Lack of clear profile about the pathways and targets perturbed by ionizing radiation is also an important hurdle in development of effective radiation countermeasure agents and there is a requirement for better predictive models along with the potential to screen a large number of chemical compounds quickly [2]. Indirect energy deposition and generation of reactive free radicals are responsible in a major way in induction of damage by low LET radiation [3]. At the molecular level, ionizing radiation cause damage to DNA, protein and lipids which can lead to downstream events like cell cycle arrest, apoptosis and a number of stress-related responses [4, 5]. It is also well established that local tissue damage triggers inflammatory response and the mediators such as histamine, kinins and prostaglandins are mainly generated by arachidonic acid cascade [6]. Two types of COX isoform (COX-1 and COX-2) have been reported to be responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins
