Nerve gases are a class of phosphorus based organic chemicals that disrupts the biological mechanism through which nerves present in the brain transfer messages and instructions to various organs of the body. The disturbance is caused due to the blockage of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholinesterase. Poisoning by nerve gases and pesticides leads to various medical complications such as convulsions, contractions of pupils, profuse salivation, involuntary defecation and death.

There are two main classes of nerve gas and agents, which are usually used in military warfare:

G – series, a class of non persistent toxic chemical substances. The nerve agents belonging to this group are:

GA (Tabun)

GB (Sarin)

GD (Soman)

GF (Cyclosarin)

V – series, a class of organophosphate compounds persistent in nature. The nerve agents belonging to this class are:

VE

VG (Tetram)

VM (Edemo)

VR (Russian VX, Soviet V-gas, Substance 33, R-33)

VX (nerve agent)

Some of the drugs usually used in the treatment of nerve gas and pesticide poisoning are as follows:

Anticholinergic agents

Atropine IV/IM

Glycopyrrolate

Pralidoxime chloride

Benzodiazepines

Diazepam

Butyrylcholinesterase

In terms of geography, nerve gas and pesticide poisoning is not prevalent in any specific regions. It has also been observed that nerve agent exposure is exceptionally rare in the U.S. Thus, the market growth of the drugs for treating nerve gas and pesticide poisoning might be sluggish in this region. However, despite implementation of stringent regulatory policies to control the propagation of chemical weapons, nerve gas agents are still stored by the military of several countries such as Iraq, Sudan, Japan and North Korea. To date there is no large scale military deployment of nerve gas and pesticide poisons during wars, but if the use of chemical weapons increases then...
