Overview

Soman is a highly toxic organophosphorus chemical warfare compound. It binds rapidly and irreversibility to a variety of serine active enzymes. The soman seizure model is an important model of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE)

Actions

Soman could inhibit the increase evoked by NMDA, but carbachol, an agonist of cholinergic receptor, could potentiate the increase. The soman-induced increase in excitability occurred independently of both the agent-induced depolarization and the decrease in input resistance.

Treatment

Soman exposure and treatment with the oxime reactivators and/or atropine contains quite complex and still not well understood side mechanisms. Treatment of soman-exposed immature, young-adult, and aged rats with LY293558, terminates SE with limited recurrence of seizures.

Toxicity

Soman inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, essentially irreversibly. It produces an accumulation of acetyl choline (ACh) which is responsible for neurotransmitters.
