Sulfur Mustard Damage to Cornea With Emphasis on Skin: Preventative Studies

Abstract

A mixture of physiologically compatible compounds with the properties of inhibiting alkylation reactions, providing metabolic support to the tissue and capable of preventing oxidative damage is being developed and tested for its effectiveness against mustard induced toxicity. A partial preventive effect of such a formulation using mouse skin as an animal model has been demonstrated for the first time.
