Mechanisms of organophosphate neurotoxicity [PDF]
Current Opinion in Toxicology, 2021 The canonical mechanism of organophosphate (OP) neurotoxicity is the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). However, multiple lines of evidence suggest that mechanisms in addition to or other than AChE inhibition contribute to the neurotoxic effects associated with acute and chronic OP exposures. Characterizing the role(s) of AChE inhibition versus

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.
