2013, Chemico-Biological InteractionsCitation Excerpt :Yet, a combination of (+)/(−) isomers of lower toxicity improves survival and reduces behavioral abnormalities against 1.2 × LD50 of soman [8]. Also, recent huperzine A analogs were demonstrated to improve survival against 2 × LD50 of soman in guinea pigs [9]. Other pharmacological pretreatments have been implemented in Western and other armies with known limitations and/or potent adverse effects (for review see Masson, 2011 and van Helden, 2011) [10,11].
