Nerve agents: emergency preparedness [PDF]
BMJ Military Health, 2020 Nerve agents (NAs) are a highly toxic group of chemical warfare agents. NAs are organophosphorus esters with varying physical and chemical properties depending on the individual agent. The most recently developed class of NA is‘Novichok’, the existence of which was first revealed in the early 1990s, just before Russia signed the Chemical Weapons ...

Nerve Agents and Their Detection [PDF]
Journal of Sensor Science and Technology, 2014 Nerve agents are major chemical warfare agents with the “G series” and “V series” being the most widely known because of their lethal effect. Although not conspicuously used in major wars, the potential detrimental impact on modern society had been revealed from the sarin terror attack on Tokyo subway, which affected thousands of people.

Catalytic Degradation of Nerve Agents [PDF]
Catalysts, 2020 Nerve agents (NAs) are a group of highly toxic organophosphorus compounds developed before World War II. They are related to organophosphorus pesticides, although they have much higher human acute toxicity than commonly used pesticides. After the detection of the presence of NAs, the critical step is the fast decontamination of the environment in order

Characterization of the Interaction of Nerve Agent Mimics with Selected Synthetic Receptors
Organic Materials, 2022 Qualitative NMR spectroscopic and quantitative calorimetric binding studies were performed to characterize the interaction of nontoxic mimics of the V-type nerve agent VX (O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate) and the Novichok ...

Mechanisms of Organophosphate Toxicity and the Role of Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition
Toxics, 2023 Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) have applications in agriculture (e.g., pesticides), industry (e.g., flame retardants), and chemical warfare (nerve agents). In high doses or chronic exposure, they can be toxic or lethal.
