A process for preventing oxidative injury in which living cells are contacted with a protective amount of 3-amino-tyrosine or a derivative thereof. Also provided is a process for preserving a cell sample involving collecting a sample of cells and adding 3-aminotyrosine or a derivative thereof to that cell sample. A process for preventing thermal damage to living cells is also provided which comprises contacting the cells with a thermal protectant amount of 3-aminotyrosine or a derivative thereof, as is a process for protecting living cells from damage caused by ionizing radiation, which comprises contacting the cells with a radioprotectant amount of 3-aminotyrosine or a derivative thereof. Also provided is a process for suppressing anti-inflammatory reactions in animals which comprises administering an anti-inflammatory amount of 3-aminotrosine or a derivative thereof to an animal.
