Recently, the question was raised as to why iso-OMPA, generally known as a selective irreversible inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), potentiates soman toxicity in rats but not in mice. Mice are known to have higher carboxylesterase (CarbE) and lower BuChE activity in plasma than rat. It cou
Male Sprague-Dawley rats, injected with the irreversible acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor soman (pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate) 25 micrograms/kg sc, showed no signs of toxicity. Pretreatment with iso-OMPA (tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide) 1 mg/kg sc 1 h before the soman administration, ca
