Table 3.

Treatment of OP exposed mice with oxime TAB2OH. The oxime was administered either alone (Therapy: i.m. 25 mg/kg with atropine 1 min after an OP) or as combination with hBChE (Pretreatment + Therapy: i.v. [hBChE (1 mg/kg) + TAB2OH (25 mg/kg)] 15 min before OP followed by TAB2OH (25 mg/kg with atropine) administered i.m. 1 min after an OP). Protective Index is the ratio of LD50 for OP exposed animals with pretreatment/therapy and animals exposed to OP only. In parentheses 95% confident limits of protective index and MDP (the highest multiple of the OP LD50, which was fully counteracted by the antidotal treatment) are also given.
