Neuropharmacology: Oxime antidotes for organophosphate pesticide and nerve agent poisoning
Periodicum Biologorum, 2020 Organophosphate (OP) compounds remain a great threat for humans because they are used as pesticides or misused as chemical warfare nerve agents. Their mechanism of toxicity involves the irreversible inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme important in the control of cholinergic neurotransmission at the periphery and in the brain.

Complex View on Poisoning with Nerve Agents and Organophosphates [PDF]
Acta Medica (Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic), 2005 OP/nerve agents are still considered as important chemicals acting on living organisms and widely used in human practice. Nerve agents are the most lethal chemical warfare agents. They are characterized according to their action as compounds influencing cholinergic nerve transmission via inhibition of AChE.
