Background: Organophosphorus compound poisoning episodes are relatively common in occurrence this part of the world and associated with high levels morbidity as well death, at times despite competent care. The present study was conducted to profile clinically patients admitted history acute organophosphorus poisoning.Methods: This prospective observational between September 2017 October 2019 fo...

From literature data on partition coefficients and in some cases solubilities in nonaqueous solvents we have been able to determine Abraham descriptors for several series of organophosphorus compounds including the dialkyl- and diaryl-phosphates (dialkylphosphoric acids), trialkyl- and triphenyl-phosphates, dialkylphosphinic acids and diphenylphosphinic acid, trialkyl- and triaryl-phosphine oxi...

We developed a polymerized crystalline colloidal array (PCCA) photonic crystal sensing material that senses the organophosphorus compound parathion at ultratrace concentrations in aqueous solutions. A periodic array of colloidal particles is embedded in a hydrogel network with a lattice spacing such that it Bragg diffracts visible light. The molecular recognition agent for the sensor is the enz...

Three strains of filamentous Cyanobacteria were used to study their growth and utilization of organophosphorus pesticide malathion. A sharp decrease in the growth of the algal strains was observed by increasing the concentration of malathion. Amongst them Nostoc muscorum tolerated different concentrations and was recorded as the highest efficient strain for biodegradation (91%) of this compound...

Objective: Organophosphorus compounds (OPs) are common causes of poisonings. Atropine and oximes are pharmacological antidotes of OPs. However, because of their adverse effects and insufficient performance, several other compounds have been evaluated as adjuvant therapy. HESA-A is a herbal-marine drug that contains material from Carum carvi (Persian cumin), Penaeus latisculatus...

The differences in the inhibition activity of organophosphorus agents are a manifestation of different molecular properties of the inhibitors involved in the interaction with the active site of enzyme. We were interested in comparing the inhibition potency of four known synthesized carbacylamidophosphates with the general formula RC(O)NHP(O)Cl2, constituting organophosphorus compounds, where R ...
