Therapeutic Efficacy of Different Antidotal Mixtures Against Poisoning with GF-Agent in Mice
The toxicity of cyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate (GF-agent; cyclosarin) and therapeutic efficacy of four oximes (trimedoxime, methoxime, obidoxime and HI-6) in combination with atropine or benactyzine (BNZ) was studied in mice.

Imidazole aldoximes effective in assisting butyrylcholinesterase catalysis of organophosphate detoxification. [PDF]
Intoxication by organophosphate (OP) nerve agents and pesticides should be addressed by efficient, quickly deployable countermeasures such as antidotes reactivating acetylcholinesterase or scavenging the parent OP.

Toxicological analyses of the bone matrix: Successes and challenges
Abstract This study aimed to conduct an in‐depth and systematic literature review dealing with toxicological analyses on human bone tissue and focusing on the forensic toxicological and archaeotoxicological field. Several studies have focused their research on medical drugs, drugs of abuse, and trace elements on both human cadavers and skeletal remains,

Chemical warfare simulant-responsive polymer nanocomposites: Synthesis and evaluation [PDF]
Nanomaterials that undergo a physical change upon chemical warfare agent (CWA) exposure can potentially be used in detectors to warn soldiers of their presence or in fabrics to provide on‐demand protection.

A Thermostable Bacterial Metallohydrolase that Degrades Organophosphate Plasticizers
This bacterial enzyme, cyclase‐phosphotriesterase (C‐PTE) from Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS‐3, shows significant potential for breaking down organophosphate pollutants. Beyond its capability to hydrolyze specific plasticizers such as triphenyl phosphate and tris(2‐chloropropyl) phosphate, C‐PTE's crystal structure reveals a binuclear zinc active site, and it ...

Two is better than one. The introduction of a second hydroxamic acid substituents along the cavity of a sulfonatocalix[4]arene improves the activity with which this compound detoxifies highly toxic nerve agents of the V‐type to such an extent that its use as an antidote is now conceivable.

The biocatalyzed oxidative detoxification of the V‐series simulant PhX with the microperoxidase AcMP11 affords the corresponding phosphonothioate as the prominent product instead of the classical P−S and P−O bond cleavage. These results highlight the efficacy of AcMP11 to efficiently detoxify V‐series organophosphorus nerve agents and the necessity to ...

Detoxification of organophosphate (OP) chemical warfare agents is a major concern due to their high toxicity. Previous researches demonstrate Zr‐MOF catalysts efficiently hydrolyzing OPs in highly alkaline pH (~9‐10). However, catalysts for detoxification at physiological pH and with high recycling ability remain limited.
