The neuronal origins and mechanisms of central nervous system oxygen toxicity are only partly understood. Oxygen free radicals are felt to play a major role in the production of CNS oxygen toxicity because of the interactions of free radicals with plasma membranes producing lipid peroxidation. The cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase system IIE1 isozyme is important in the brain. This led to trials of P450 monooxygense inhibitors for prevention of oxygen toxicity. Diethyldithiocarbonate (DDC) proved to be the most promising agent in this class; 21-aminosteroid lazeroid compounds have been successful in experimentally limiting pulmonary oxygen toxicity. This led to our trying to prevent neuronal oxygen toxicity by the use of 21-aminosteroid and six other drugs during hyperoxia.
