[Dextran-ferrite distribution in the body of animals in a nonuniform permanent magnetic field]. / Raspredelenie dekstran-ferrita v organizme zhivotnykh v neodnorodnom postoiannom magnitnom pole.

Dextran-ferrite (DF) was injected via the femoral artery to the dogs and followed by local magnetization (induction 0.3 T, grade 0.024 T/cm). It has been shown that the local retention of the iron in some tissues of the leg was 3-5 times as high as the control. The magnetization did not increase the local retention of the iron after intravenous injection of DF to mice and rabbits.

[Antineoplastic activity of combinations of cytostatics and dextran-ferrite administered to mice with leukemia P-388]. / Protivoopukholevaia aktivnost' kompozitsii tsitostatikov s dekstran-ferritom pri vvedenii mysham s leikozom P-388.

Water solutions of adriblastin, dactinomycin, rosevin, methotrexate, cisplatin, sarcolysine, rubomycin, cyclophosphamide, 5-fluorouracil or ftorafur were combined with dextran ferrite. The obtained compositions were injected i.p. to BDF1 mice 24 hours after they were inoculated with one million of murine P388 leukemic cells. Antitumor activity was fully retained for each of these agents in combination with dextran ferrite.
