Neuroprotection by delayed triple therapy following sarin nerve agent insult in the rat

The development of refractory status epilepticus (SE) induced by sarin intoxication presents a therapeutic challenge. In our current research we evaluate the efficacy of a delayed combined triple treatment in ending the abnormal epileptiform seizure activity (ESA) and the ensuing of long-term neuronal insult. SE was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by exposure to 1.2LD50 sarin insufficiently treated by atropine and TMB4 (TA) 1 min later....
