Requirements for <strong>Radioprotectors</strong><br />
Should be selective in protecting normal tissues<br />
from radiotherapy without protecting tumor<br />
tissue.<br />
Should be delivered with minimal toxicity.<br />
Should protect normal tissues that are<br />
considered sensitive such that acute or late<br />
toxicities in these tissues are either dose-limiting<br />
or responsible for a significant reduction in<br />
quality of life<br />
