We have previously demonstrated a Organophosphates major inflammatory response with subsequent brain damage which was correlated with the duration of the fl Anti-in ammatory sarin-induced seizures (Chapman et al., 2006). In the present work seizures were induced by the nerve agent Prostaglandins sarin (1.2 LD50) insufficiently treated 1 min later by atropine and trimedoxime bromide (TA), with additional Convulsions midazolam treatment either 5 or 30 min after continuous seizure activity. The efficacy of both steroidal and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), as well as other drugs that were reported as beneficial in neuroprotection, were evaluated for their contribution as adjunct treatment against sarin induced seizures and the ensuing inflammatory brain damage. Results show that both steroids and NSAIDs were harmful when ad- ministered during convulsions, and steroids were at best ineffective if administered at their termination. However, if administered at termination of convulsions, the NSAID ibuprofen, the selective COX 2 inhibitor nimesulide and the PLA2 inhibitor quinacrine were partially effective in reducing brain inflammatory markers. Administration of exogenous analogs of prostaglandins (PGE2) immediately following sarin-induced convulsions was found to have a beneficial effect in reducing brain inflammatory markers measured at 24 h and one week post sarin exposure. These findings support the hypothesis that elevated levels of PGE2 have a beneficial role immediately following sarin induced seizures, and that early inhibition of PGE2 production by both steroids and NSAID is contraindicative. 1.

In contrast, there are duration of convulsions (McDonough and Shih, 1997; McDonough reports of aggravation of seizures following steroid treatment (Duffy et al., 1999, 2000; Chapman et al., 2006; de Araujo Furtado et al., et al., 2014; Supko and Johnston, 1994; Lee et al., 1989) which was also 2010).

    Maček Hrvat N, Kovarik Z. Counteracting poisoning with chemical warfare nerve agents Arh Hig Rada Toksikol 2020;71:266-284 266 Review DOI: 10.2478/aiht-2020-71-3459 Counteracting poisoning with chemical warfare nerve agents Nikolina Maček Hrvat and Zrinka Kovarik Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health, Zagreb, Croatia [Received in July 2020; Similarity Check in July 2020; Accepted in November 2020] Phosphylation of the pivotal enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by nerve agents (NAs) leads to irreversible inhibition of the enzyme and accumulation of neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which induces cholinergic crisis, that is, overstimulation of muscarinic and nicotinic membrane receptors in the central and peripheral nervous system. In severe cases, subsequent desensitisation of the receptors results in hypoxia, vasodepression, and respiratory arrest, followed by death. Prompt action is therefore critical to improve the chances of victim’s survival and recovery. Standard therapy of NA poisoning generally involves administration of anticholinergic atropine and an oxime reactivator of phosphylated AChE. Anticholinesterase compounds or NA bioscavengers can also be applied to preserve native AChE from inhibition. With this review of 70 years of research we aim to present current and potential approaches to counteracting NA poisoning. KEY WORDS: bioscavenger; cholinesterases; cyclosarin; Novichoks; organophosphate; sarin; tabun; VX Organophosphates (OPs) are ester, amide, or thiol for improvement through recent developments in NA derivatives of phosphorous, phosphonic, or phosphinic poisoning treatment and prophylaxis/pretreatment. acids. They occur in important biomolecules like DNA and RNA, some cofactors and coenzymes, phosphoproteins, NERVE AGENTS and phospholipids, but can also be synthesised. The first OP compounds were synthesised in the early 19th century (1, 2).
