Our data suggest that diazepam as adjunct to pyridostigmine and atropine administered as pretreatment gives a “safer” protection, than an equimolar dose of pro-diazepam given therapeutically. The protection, relative to the control, provided by the diazepam pretreatment (60 min before and for three days before soman) correlated linearly, r = 0.9898, with the serum values of diazepam achieved at these times. The serum concentrations of diazepam (given i.p.) and desmethyldiazepam (given i.m.) were determined by GLC after diazepam (i.p.) and pro-diazepam (i.m.) were given. A therapeutic dose of pro-diazepam, 1 min after soman, gave no further protection, to the three day diazepam pretreatment.

A pretreatment with diazepam for three days further increased the protection. Animals pretreated with diazepam, 60 min before soman, were “better” protected than animals given an equimolar dose of pro-diazepam therapeutically 1 min after soman. Both added significant protection to the pyridostigmine/atropine treatment. Diazepam and pro-diazepam (2-benzoyl-4-chloro- N-methyl- N-lysylglycin anilide) have been used as adjunct antidotes to pyridostigmine and atropine against the organophosphate, soman, in the guinea-pig.
