Description

Benzathine penicillin G (BPG) in powder form was exposed to a range of different doses of 60Co gamma radiation to investigate the effects of ionizing radiation using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) technique. Dependence of EPR signals with absorbed dose, time, temperature and microwave power were studied. In the light of the findings on all EPR experimental data, it can be suggested the radiosterilization of BPG in solid dry state could be technically feasible by EPR method. (author)
