| Abstract | The neuroprotective effects of newly developed oximes (K203, K206) and commonly used oximes (obidoxime, HI-6) in combination with atropine in rats poisoned with tabun at a sublethal dose (180 microg/kg i.m.; 80% LD(50)) were studied. The tabun-induced neurotoxicity was monitored by using a functional observational battery and an automatic measurement of motor activity. The neurotoxicity of tabun was monitored at 24 hours and 7 days following tabun challenge. The results indicate that K203 and obidoxime in combination with atropine allow all tabun-poisoned rats to survive within 7 days following tabun challenge, while 2 nontreated tabun-poisoned rats and 1 tabun-poisoned rat treated with K206 or HI-6 in combination with atropine died within 7 days. Only one of the newly developed oximes (K203) combined with atropine seems to be effective for a decrease in tabun-induced neurotoxicity within 24 hours after tabun sublethal poisoning, although it is not able to eliminate tabun-induced neurotoxicity completely. On the other hand, the neuroprotective efficacy of commonly used oximes (obidoxime and HI-6), as well as one of the new synthesized oximes (K206), is significantly lower in comparison with K203, according to the number of eliminated tabun-induced neurotoxic signs at 24 hours after tabun challenge. Due to its neuroprotective effects, K203 appears to be a suitable oxime for the antidotal treatment of acute tabun poisonings. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
