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.

Fast and reliable detection of Nerve Agents (NAs) in the environment still represent an urgent need in emergency situation. The development of practical, portable sensing technology, accessible to non‐specialized operators, performing fast detection of NAs, still represents a challenge.

Supramolecular Approaches to the Detoxification of Nerve Agents
Abstract A promising, but not yet practiced, approach to the treatment of neurotoxic organophosphate poisoning is the administration of a scavenger that rapidly deactivates the nerve agent before it can exert its toxic effects. The detoxification rates required for successful use of this therapy can currently only be achieved with enzymes, but ...

Understanding the factors that lead to the formation of the bond between an organophosphorus, specifically chemical warfare agents, and AChE is essential for understanding these systems. This work used DFT techniques, such as AIM, NBO, and EDA, finding indications that this bond is driven by the pnictogen bond and, unlike the usual explanation that ...

Recent advances in cholinergic mechanisms as reactions to toxicity, stress, and neuroimmune insults
We reviewed the current advances in our understanding of the effects of a variety of stressors in order to connect acute poisoning with organophosphates, neurotoxicity, changes in microRNAs, and transfer RNA fragments with cholinergic signaling dysfunction.

Recent research on Gulf War illness and other health problems in veterans of the 1991 Gulf War: Effects of toxicant exposures during deployment [PDF]
Veterans of Operation Desert Storm/Desert Shield − the 1991 Gulf War (GW) − are a unique population who returned from theater with multiple health complaints and disorders. Studies in the U.S.

Reactivation of hCE1 following nerve agent exposure.
A. Spontaneous reactivation of V146H/L363E hCE1 following inhibition by racemic sarin (blue), soman (green), or cyclosarin (red). Wild type hCE1 (grey) only reactivates following sarin inhibition (7). n = 6, s.d. B.
