Rapid, Biomimetic Degradation of a Nerve Agent Simulant by Incorporating Imidazole Bases into a Metal-Organic Framework. [PDF]
ACS Catal, 2021 Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are excellent catalytic materials for the hydrolytic degradation of nerve agents and their simulants. However, most of the MOF-based hydrolysis catalysts to date are reliant on liquid water media buffered by a volatile ...

Nerve agent hydrolysis activity designed into a human drug metabolism enzyme. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents are potent suicide inhibitors of the essential neurotransmitter-regulating enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Due to their acute toxicity, there is significant interest in developing effective countermeasures to OP poisoning.

Biphasic response of human iPSC-derived neural network activity following exposure to a sarin-surrogate nerve agent [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular NeuroscienceOrganophosphorus nerve agents (OPNA) are hazardous environmental exposures to the civilian population and have been historically weaponized as chemical warfare agents (CWA). OPNA exposure can lead to several neurological, sensory, and motor symptoms that

Therapy for acute nerve agent poisoning: An update. [PDF]
Neurol Clin Pract, 2019 Purpose of review Acute nerve agent poisoning was last reviewed in the neurology literature in 2004. As neurologists may expect to be called upon by non-neurologist colleagues as local experts, it is timely to update the 2004 review.

Evaluation of Potency of Known Oximes (Pralidoxime, Trimedoxime, HI-6, Methoxime, Obidoxime) to in vitro Reactivate Acetylcholinesterase Inhibited by Pesticides (Chlorpyrifos and Methylchlorpyrifos and Nerve Agent (Russian VX) [PDF]
Acta Medica, 2007 Nerve agents and pesticides belong to the group of organophosphates. They are able to inhibit irreversibly the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Acetylcholinesterase reactivators were designed for the treatment of nerve agent intoxications.

LABORATORY EXAMINATION IN NERVE AGENT INTOXICATION [PDF]
Acta Medica, 2013 Diagnosis of nerve agent intoxication is based on anamnestic data, clinical signs and laboratory examination. For acute poisoning, cholinesterase activity in the blood (erythrocyte AChE, plasma/serum BuChE) is sensitive, simple and most frequent ...
