Résumé

Royal demolition explosive (RDX) can induce seizures in wildlife and humans following release into the environment or after voluntary consumption. During the Vietnam War, RDX intoxication was the most common cause of generalized seizures in US service personnel, and in some sections of the armed forces, eating of RDX has continued as "a dare" to this day. After its mechanism of action was long unknown, RDX was recently shown to be a GABA We used whole-cell patch-clamp to determine the potency of RDX on 10 recombinantly expressed GABA RDX was found to reversibly inhibit the α1β2γ2 GABA Our findings characterize the mechanism of action of RDX at the atomistic level and suggest that RDX-induced seizures should be susceptible to treatment with GABA
