Shapes of Sulfur, Oxygen, and Nitrogen Mustards

The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2011
Thorough conformational analyses have been performed on representative sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen mustards. A total of 23, 18, and 38 unique conformers have been located for SM, OM, and NM, respectively, at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. Despite the fact that these molecules differ only in the identity of the central heteroatom, comparison of ...

Agents of chemical warfare: Sulfur mustard

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1992
Sulfur mustard is a chemical warfare agent of historical and current interest. Favored militarily because of its ability to incapacitate rather than its ability to kill, its use results in large numbers of casualties requiring prolonged, intensive care.

Development of an antibody that binds sulfur mustard

Immunology Letters, 1992
An antibody that binds bis(2-chloroethyl) sulfide (sulfur mustard) was developed. The immunizing antigen was prepared from the hapten 4-(2-chloroethyl)benzoic acid covalently bound to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). The antibody was monitored by a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Surface decontamination for blister agents Lewisite, sulfur mustard and agent yellow, a Lewisite and sulfur mustard mixture

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2016
Sulfur mustard (HD) and Lewisite (L) are blister agents that have a high potential for terrorist use; Agent Yellow (HL) is the eutectic mixture of HD and L. Bench-scale testing was used to determine the residual amount of these chemical warfare agents remaining on three building materials (wood, metal and glass) after application of various ...

Toxicodynamics of sulfur mustard.

International journal of clinical pharmacology, therapy, and toxicology, 1989
Mustards have become an important topic of global discussion in recent years. The latest extensive reports and conference of 145 nations in Paris (January 13, 1989) reveal that several countries have stockpiled large quantities of mustard gas. This situation creates an imminent danger to accidental or intentional exposure of this gas to civil ...

Putative roles of inflammation in the dermatopathology of sulfur mustard

Cell Biology and Toxicology, 1993
Sulfur mustard (2,2`-dichlorodiethyl sulfide), a radiomimetic agent with mutagenic (Cappizzi et al., 1973; Fox and Scott, 1983), cytotoxic (Wheeler, 1962; Papirmeister and Davison, 1965), and vesicant (Anslow and Houck, 1946; Renshaw, 1946) properties, is also a chemical-warfare blistering agent with no known antidote.

Accidental sulfur mustard exposure: A case report

Toxicology Letters, 2018
The clinical progression following a sulfur mustard-induced skin exposure is well documented in the literature. Upon skin contact and a characteristic latency period, sulfur mustard (SM) causes erythema, blister formation and ulceration, which is associated with wound healing disorders that may require surgical treatment. Here, we present a case report

Silibinin as a potential therapeutic for sulfur mustard injuries

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2013
Sulfur mustard (SM) is a vesicating chemical warfare agent causing skin blistering, ulceration, impaired wound healing, prolonged hospitalization and permanent lesions. Silibinin, the lead compound from Silybum marianum, has also been discussed as a potential antidote to SM poisoning.

Advanced biotherapy for the treatment of sulfur mustard poisoning

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2018
Sulfur mustard (SM), a bifunctional alkylating agent, can react with a variety of biochemical molecules (DNA, RNA, proteins and other cell components) to cause a series of serious health issues or even death. Although a plethora of research has been done, the pathogenesis of SM poisoning has yet to be fully understood due to its high complexity.
