Theoretical prediction on the hydrolysis rate of the new types of nerve agents: A density functional study [PDF]
Toxicology Reports, 2023 Although the hydrolysis mechanism of the nerve agents, which is the main decontamination pathway, has been studied experimentally and theoretically, the reliable theoretical prediction method for the hydrolysis rate is not studied yet. Furthermore, after

Efficient Detection of Nerve Agents through Carbon Nitride Quantum Dots: A DFT Approach [PDF]
Nanomaterials, 2023 V-series nerve agents are very lethal to health and cause the inactivation of acetylcholinesterase which leads to neuromuscular paralysis and, finally, death. Therefore, rapid detection and elimination of V-series nerve agents are very important. Herein,

Non-quaternary oximes detoxify nerve agents and reactivate nerve agent-inhibited human butyrylcholinesterase [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2021 Amitai et al. identified 4 potential small molecule antidotes toward nerve agents poisoning by high-throughput-screening of over 150,000 compounds. Unique non-quaternary oximes represent new potential antidotes for future development as they detoxified ...
