To find mitigators of pneumonitis induced by moderate doses of thoracic radiation (10–15 Gy). Unanesthetized WAG/RijCmcr female rats received single doses of X-irradiation (10, 12 or 15 Gy at 1.615 Gy/minute) to the thorax. Captopril (an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor) or losartan (an angiotensin receptor blocker) was administered in drinking water after irradiation. Pulmonary structure and function were assessed after 8 weeks in randomly selected rats by evaluating breathing rate, ex vivo vascular reactivity and histopathology. Survival analysis was undertaken on all animals except those scheduled for sacrifice. Survival following a dose of 10 Gy to the thorax was not different from unirradiated rats up to one year. Survival decreased to less than 50%, by 45 weeks after 12 Gy and by 8–9 weeks after 15 Gy. Captopril (17–56 mg/kg/day) improved survival and reduced radiation-induced increases in breathing rate, changes in vascular reactivity and histopathological evidence of injury. Radiation-induced increases in breathing rate were prevented even if captopril was started 1 week following irradiation or if it was discontinued after 5 weeks. Losartan, though effective in reducing mortality was not as efficacious as captopril in mitigating radiation-induced increases in breathing rate or altered vasoreactivity. In rats, a moderate thoracic dose of radiation induced pneumonitis and morbidity. These injuries were mitigated by captopril even when it was commenced 1 week after irradiation or if discontinued after 5 weeks following exposure. Losartan was less effective in protecting against radiation-induced changes in vascular reactivity or tachypnea.
