Organophosphorus Pesticides Promote Protein Cross-Linking. [PDF]
Exposure to organophosphorus pesticides (OP) can have chronic adverse effects that are independent of inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, the classic target for acute OP toxicity. In pure proteins, the organophosphorus pesticide chlorpyrifos oxon induces a cross-link between lysine and glutamate (or aspartate) with loss of water.

Macrophage TNF-α mediates parathion-induced airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs. [PDF]
Organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) are implicated in human asthma. We previously demonstrated that, at concentrations that do not inhibit acetylcholinesterase activity, the OP parathion causes airway hyperreactivity in guinea pigs as a result of ...

Organophosphorus Pesticides Analysis [PDF]
The organophosphorus (OP) pesticides are synthetic esters, amides, or thiol derivatives of the phosphoric, phosphonic, phosphorothioic, or phosphonothioic acids (Corbett et al., 1984; Eto, 1974; Gupta, 2006; Hassall, 1982; Quin, 2000). The structural diversity of this family of compounds is reflected in their physicochemical and biological properties ...

Management of acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning [PDF]
Organophosphorus pesticide self-poisoning is an important clinical problem in rural regions of the developing world, and kills an estimated 200,000 people every year. Unintentional poisoning kills far fewer people but is a problem in places where highly toxic organophosphorus pesticides are available. Medical management is difficult, with case fatality
