Optimization of physico-chemical properties of carbon enterosorbents and evaluation of their sorption activity for use in the treatment of paraneoplastic syndrome and other endogenous intoxications in cancer patients

Abstract

Aim - development of carbon enterosorbents with optimal physical-chemical properties and high adsorptive capacity for their usage in the treatment of paraneoplastic syndrome and other endogenous intoxication in cancer patients. Methods: physical-chemical and biochemical methods of investigation. In the work it has been shown that performance of additional steam activation on pilot plant developed in R. E. Kavetsky Institute of Experimental Pathology, Oncology and Radiobiology NAS of Ukraine, allows produce highly active granulated and fibrous carbon enterosorbents which possess well developed porous surface providing potent sorption potential toward compounds of hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature. Being placed in gastro-intestinal tract lumen these sorbents may cause certain effect on functional activity of detoxifying body systems and regeneration potential of many organs and tissues. Key Words: activated carbon, enterosorbents, porous surface, adsorptive capacity.
