Studies on Organophosphorus Compounds. III. On Phosphite Copper Cyanide Complex Compounds

Studies on the delayed neurotoxicity of organophosphorus compounds- (I).

Delayed neurotoxicity experiments of an organophosphorus compound, TOCP, on hens and quails were carried out. The animals were orally exposed with TOCP in dose of 400 mg/kg, and maintained for 25 and 50 days under observation, respectively. They were sacrificed and dissected at different periods after the exposure, and the histopathological examinations were made on those animals. During the pe...

Esterases Reacting with Organophosphorus Compounds

The sixty-seven papers in this book are grouped under the following chapters: Esterase Structures, Catalytic Properties of Cholinesterases, Catalytic Properties of Paraoxonases and Related Esterases, Biology of Cholinesterases, Biology of Paraoxonases and Related Esterases, Toxicity and Degradation of Organophosphorus Compounds, Neuropathy Target Esterase, and Miscellaneous. The chapters are pr...

Antioxidants in organophosphorus compounds poisoning.

Oxidative stress has recently been implicated as a factor in the mortality and morbidity induced by organophosphorus (OP) compound poisoning. An overwhelming number of research papers are based on studying at the cellular and organ level. Such studies have concluded that antioxidants can be used as an adjunct compound in the treatment of both chronic as well as acute OP poisoning. Still, the ro...

Inhibition Mechanisms of Organic Compounds on Copper and Copper Alloys

Detection of organophosphorus compounds by covalently immobilized organophosphorus hydrolase.

As a consequence of organophosphorus (OP) toxins posing a threat to human life globally, organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) has become the enzyme of choice to detoxify such compounds. Organophosphorus hydrolase was covalently immobilized onto a quartz substrate for utilization in paraoxon detection. The substrate was cleaned and modified prior to chemical attachment. Each modification step was mo...
