In Vitro Interaction of Organophosphono- and Organophosphorothioates with Human Acetylcholinesterase

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
The implementation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) in 1997 was a milestone in the prohibition of chemical warfare agents (CWA). Yet, the repeated use of CWA underlines the ongoing threat to the population.

Ligand-Based Virtual Screening, Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics, and MM-PBSA Calculations towards the Identification of Potential Novel Ricin Inhibitors

open access: yesToxins, 2020
Ricin is a toxin found in the castor seeds and listed as a chemical weapon by the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) due to its high toxicity combined with the easiness of obtention and lack of available antidotes.

A Complete MCDM Model for NPD Performance Assessment in an LED‐Based Lighting Plant Factory

open access: yesMathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Globally, industries and economies have undergone rapid development and expansion over the last several decades. As a result, global warming and environmental contaminations have resulted in climate change and jeopardized food security. In many developing countries, already decreasing crop yields are threatened by extreme weather and soil damaged by ...

Time course pathogenesis of sulphur mustard‐induced skin lesions in mouse model

open access: yesInternational Wound Journal, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 441-454, August 2013., 2013
Sulphur mustard (SM) is a bifunctional alkylating agent that causes cutaneous blistering in humans and animals. In this study, we have presented closer views on pathogenesis of SM‐induced skin injury in a mouse model. SM diluted in acetone was applied once dermally at a dose of 5 or 10 mg/kg to Swiss albino mice.

High‐sensitivity determination of 2‐chlorovinylarsonous acid in biomedical samples for retrospective detection of exposure to lewisite upon antidotal therapy

open access: yesJournal of Spectroscopy, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 1-10, 2011., 2011
A procedure for determination of the lewisite metabolite 2‐chlorovinylarsonous acid (CVAA) in biomedical samples, involving derivatization of the latter with propane‐1,3‐dithiol and head‐space solid‐phase microextraction of the derivative on a 100‐μm PDMS fiber followed by GC‐MS, was applied for the first time to analysis of in vivo samples.

G‐Series Agents Studied via Molecular Dynamics Simulations

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 6, February 12, 2025.
G‐series nerve agents, including sarin, soman, and tabun, are highly toxic organophosphorus compounds posing severe risks to global security. This study employs molecular dynamics simulations to investigate their thermodynamic properties, diffusion behavior, and molecular interactions.
