Biocatalytic membrane reactor development for organophosphates degradation

open access: yesJournal of Hazardous Materials, 2019
Organophosphates (OPs) are highly toxic compounds used as pesticides and nerve agents. The devastating effects, reported in different studies, on the environment and human health indicate a serious scenario for both instantaneous and long terms effects ...

Organophosphate poisoning

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1987
Organophosphate insecticides have become increasingly popular for agricultural, industrial, and home use and represent a significant potential health risk. We have reviewed the history, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, laboratory findings, differential diagnosis, therapy, and complications of toxic exposure to organophosphates. Promp recognition

Microbiota and organophosphates

NeuroToxicology, 2019
Organophosphates (OPs) are important toxic compounds commonly used for a variety of purposes in agriculture, industry and household settings. Consumption of these compounds affects several central nervous system functions. Some of the most recognised consequences of organophosphate pesticide exposure in humans include neonatal developmental ...

Organophosphate poisoning

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 1993
The present review discusses the structure of the anticholinesterase organophosphates (OPs), which are used predominantly as insecticides. OP poisoning can occur in a variety of situations and can be accidental or suicidal. It is common in developing countries.

Pharmacology of organophosphates

Journal of Applied Toxicology, 1994
AbstractThe cholinergic nerve fibers, which employ acetylcholine (ACh) as a neurohumoral transmitter, and the results of their activation are listed. The reactions between the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), its natural substrate, ACh, and the various types of inhibitors are described.

Organophosphates, Serine Esterase Inhibition, and Modeling of Organophosphate Toxicity

Toxicological Sciences, 2004
The highlighted article in this issue (Ashani and Pistinner, "Estimation of the Upper Limit of Human Butyrylcholinesterase Dose Required for Protection against Organophosphates toxicity: A Mathematically Based Toxicokinetic Model") is an innovative approach to modeling the amount of protective enzyme, human butyrylcholinesterase, that could be ...

Cardiodepression in Organophosphate Poisonings [PDF]

open access: possible, 1985
During clinical epidemiological investigation of acute human organophosphate intoxication a cardiodepressive form of poisoning was recognised. It had a bad prognosis with a high incidence of lethality. The cardiodepressive form involved mechano- and electrodepression which were manifested in cardiogenic shock and sudden atrioventricular block or both ...

The Alkylating Properties of Organophosphates

Xenobiotica, 1972
1. A brief introduction to the concept of alkylation is given, which discusses reaction mechanisms and reactivity, and includes an assessment of the susceptibility to alkylation of biologically-important molecules.2. A semi-quantitative colour test for alkylating agents, with 4-(p-nitrobenzyl) pyridine (NBP), has been modified to give a quantitative ...
