of VM]] VM (Phosphonothioic acid, methyl-, S-(2-(diethylamino)ethyl) O-ethyl ester) is a "V-series" Nerve Agent closely related to the better-known VX Nerve Agent . Like most of the agents in the V-series (with the exception of VX), VM has not been extensively studied outside of Military Science . Little is known about this Chemical Compound other than its Chemical Formula . It is commonly theorized that the so called "second-generation" V series agents came from a Cold War era Russia n Chemical Weapons development program. They may have been developed sometime between 1950 and 1990 . They have similar Lethal Dose levels to VX (between 10-50 mg) and have similar Symptom s and Method Of Action to other nerve agents that act on Cholinesterase . The treatment remains the same, but the window for effectively treating second generation V series Seizure s is shorter. In addition to the standard seizures, some of the second generation V series agents are known to cause Coma s. EXTERNAL LINKS |
