Table 1:

Twenty four hour survival of male rats challenged with a lethal dosage of a sarin surrogate (nitrophenyl isopropyl methylphosphonate; NIMP; 0.6 mg/kg, subcutaneous) or a VX surrogate (nitrophenyl ethyl methylphosphonate; NEMP; 0.65 mg/kg, subcutaneous), with oxime (0.146 mmol/kg in multisol, intramuscular) and atropine (0.65 mg/kg, in saline, intramuscular) administered at time of initiation of seizure-like behavior, about 30 min post-organophosphate. Odds ratio is in comparison to 2-PAM alone.
