We present a new high‐throughput screening method for the selection of powerful water‐soluble antiradiation compounds. This method, which uses conventional immunoassay techniques, allowed the capacity of a given compound to protect thymidine from irradiation to be evaluated. By applying this assay to an antioxidant library, we showed for the first time that norbadione A, a well‐known mushroom pigment, has pronounced atypical antiradiation properties.
