Abstract Chemical warfare nerve agents and pesticides, known as organophosphorus compounds inactivate cholinesterases (ChEs) by phosphorylating the serine hydroxyl group located at the active site of ChEs. Over the course of time, phosphorylation is followed by loss of an organophosphate‐leaving group and the bond with ChEs becomes irreversible, a ...

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.

Polarographic reduction of pralidoxime and obidoxime at hanging mercury drop electrode [PDF]
The polarographic reduction behavior of Pralidoxime (PRL) and Obidoxime (OBD) at a Hanging Mercury Drop Electrode (HMDE) was exploited for their determination in different samples. Based on the obtained differential pulse polarograms, standard addition method was used to determine these drugs in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluid samples.

Organophosphate Insecticide Poisoning and Parkinsonism
Extrapyramidal parkinsonism in a 14 year-old boy developed 5 days after the accidental ingestion of a raw eggplant sprayed with the organophosphate dimethoate (Rogor), in a report from Meyer Children Hospital, Rappaport School of Medicine, Haifa, Israel.

1. The influence of anticholinergic drugs (atropine, benactyzine, biperiden) on the efficacy of monopyridinium and bispyridinium oximes (HI-6, BI-6, obidoxime, pralidoxime, methoxime) on soman-induced supralethal poisoning was studied in mice. 2.

In-vitro Evaluation of Bis-pyridinium Oximes Connected by Xylene Linkers as Reactivators of DFP-inhibited Electric EEL Acetylcholinesterase [PDF]
Bis-pyridinium oximes connected by xylene linkers were synthesised and their in-vitro reactivation efficacy was evaluated for DFP inhibited AChE. The reactivation efficacy data were compared with those of 2-PAM and obidoxime.
