Abstract

The work is timed to the 80th anniversary of the Institute of Biophysics and is devoted to cooperation with the Research Institute of Experimental Pathology and Therapy of the Abkhazian Academy of Sciences during the period of testing anti-radiation agents on monkeys, as well as participation in the works under the Interkosmos program. The tests were attended by the invariable co-authors and co-performers from other institutes.

The effectiveness of the studied agents was confirmed. Attention is drawn to the complexity of detecting active compounds, the duration and laboriousness of research, including problems with the development of a dosage form.

Keywords:  total irradiation, monkeys, anti-radiation agents, efficiency, development complexity, technological problems, anniversary
