Turkiye Klinikleri Journal of Medical Sciences, 2012 Objective: Organic phosphates (OP) bind covalently to acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and acetylcholine (Ach) accumulates in the synaptic cleft. Administering oximes before aging process causes breakage of the covalent bond between OP-AChE, and allows reactivation of AChE. Pralidoxime (PAM) is the most commonly used oxime.
