Nephrotoxicity issues of organophosphates
Organophosphates are a large class of chemicals, initially invented in 1850 and since then they have been applied in numerous aspects of science to serve our purposes. Their mechanism of action in living organisms involves the irreversible inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, therefore they interfere with neuromuscular signal transmission.

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

Organophosphates and the Heart
Chest, 1993(Chest 1993; 103:576-82) O rganophosphates are widely used as agricultural pesticides, and some of these compounds serve as nerve agents for chemical warfare. They act as powerful inhibitors of acetyicholinesterase, resulting in accumulation of acetylcholine and overstimulation ofcholinergic synapses in the central nervous system, somatic nerves ...

Organophosphates are commonly used as pesticides around the world. Exposures to organophosphates cause a significant number of poisonings and deaths each year. Organophosphates bind and inhibit cholinesterase enzymes. Acute toxicity manifests as a cholinergic crisis with excessive glandular secretions, altered mental status, and weakness.

Pharmacology of organophosphates
Journal of Applied Toxicology, 1994AbstractThe 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.
