Bicyclic phosphorus esters (BCP) originating from the combustion of fire-retardant polyurethane foam containing phosphorus are highly toxic compounds and potent antagonists of GABA-ergic receptors. The clinical symptoms of the poisoning are grand mal seizures. The results of experiments on rats demonstrated that diazepam and phenobarbital reduce acute toxicity of the isopropyl-BCP-derivative and remarkably smooth poisoning symptoms.
