  Organophosphate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An organophosphate (sometimes abbreviated OP) is the general name for esters of phosphoric acid and is one of the organophosphorus compounds.
The term organophosphate should strictly be reserved for an ester of phosphoric acid or one of its higher compounds (such as pyrophosphoric acid.
The effects of organophosphate poisoning are recalled using the mnemonic "SLUDGE", for salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation, gastrointestinal upset, and emesis.

 Ester: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
In organic chemistry and biochemistry esters are a functional group consisting of an organic radical united with the residue of any oxygen acid, organic or inorganic.
Esters can participate in hydrogen bonds as hydrogen bond acceptors, but cannot act as hydrogen bond donors, unlike their parent alcohols.
Esters may also be decomposed by strong acids or bases.

Organophosphate insecticides are widely used today because they do not persist in the environment and they have an extremely low carcinogenic potential.
The answer is E. Atropine is a very useful antidote for the treatment of organophosphate poisoning because it blocks both the peripheral and central muscarinic actions of acetylcholine.
Because of its lipid solubility and resistance to biodegradation, DDT persists in the environment and is concentrated in the food chain.

Tetraethylpyrophosphate was the 1st organophosphate synthesized as an AChE inhibitor in 1854.2 Later, dimethyl and diethyl phosphorofluoridates were synthesized.2 During World War II, organophosphorus compounds were developed primarily as agricultural insecticides, and later as chemical warfare agents.
Because the long-term, persistent effects of OPICN result from neuronal degeneration of the PNS and CNS, induced by organophosphates, it is unlikely that improvement is the consequence of the regeneration of brain neurons, inasmuch as such repair is not typical of the CNS.

Thus, if computers contain and thereby emit organophosphate esters into the surrounding air, a large part of the population is consequently exposed to these compounds.
To establish the back-ground levels of airborne organophosphate esters, air monitoring was performed in the office module used for the long-term emission study prior to installing the computer.

 Toxicity of the Organophosphate Chemical Warfare Agents GA, GB, and VX: Implications for Public Protection
Organophosphate (OP) nerve agents were designed specifically to cause incapacitation or death in military use and are particularly effective because of their extremely high acute toxicity.
Organophosphate insecticides are sequestered in body fat and gradually mobilized from these depots to a greater extent than the OP nerve agents as evidenced by their longer time course of recovery and need for repeated treatment with atropine (160,161).
Organophosphate nerve agents are highly toxic by all routes of exposure.

 Critical Care | Full text | Intensive care management of organophosphate insecticide poisoning
Organophosphate (OP) insecticides inhibit both cholinesterase and pseudo-cholinesterase activities.
Reactivation of dimethyl phosphorylated acetyl-cholinesterase proceeds quite rapidly and may improve without oxime therapy, although reactivation of diethyl phosphorylated acetylcolinesterase does not occur unless significant amounts of oximes are used.
The major pharmacological action of oximes such as pralidoxime and obidoxime is to reactivate acetyl cholinesterase by removal of the phosphate group bound to the esteratic site [18].

 Atropine (International Programme on Chemical Safety Evaluation, 2002)
Chronic exposure to certain organophosphates may induce changes in the pharmacodynamics of atropine, thus influencing the response of the animal to atropine therapy.
Sanderson (1961) suggested that combined treatment with atropine and oxime may be deleterious when the animals are given the organophosphate orally because reduced peristalsis slows the absorption of the organophosphate beyond the most effective concentrations of the antidotes given parenterally.
In mice, pre-treatment with phenytoin, verapamil, nifedipine, nitrendipine or nimodipine increased the LD of DFP.

 Nerve Agents: General
Toxic organophosphate compounds had been investigated extensively as pesticides during the 1920's and 1930's, but it was not until 1937 that their potential as chemical warfare agents was recognized.
The Germans also investigated a series of related organophosphate compounds for military utility (both as weapons and as insecticides), and at the end of the war had begun to produce a second nerve agent, Sarin (GB) and were investigating the utility of a third, Soman (GD).
This both stimulated interest in organophosphates in the insecticide industry and (because the work had been done for the German military) made the compounds the Germans had identified available for anyone to use without the need to obtain licenses or pay royalties.

(4) Exposures to these materials, present as crude mixtures of aryl phosphate esters, were proposed as an alternative plausible agent in the MS cluster.
We suggest that, like the zinc hypothesis, the triaryl phosphate ester hypothesis deserves testing for industrial clusters of what appears to be MS.
It would be especially noteworthy if any MS cases occurred among employees of the smelter, and if phosphate esters were used there, inasmuch as fire-resistant hydraulic fluids and lubricants are commonly used in high-temperature applications.

The organophosphorous compound, methylphosphonothioic acid, S-[2-[bis(1-methylethyl)amino]ethyl]- O-ethyl ester, commonly known as VX gas was developed in 1953 by the British scientist Dr. Ranaji Ghosh.
VX, along with other nerve agents GA, GB GD and GF (Tabun, Sarin, Soman, and Cyclosarin, respectively) were discovered due mainly to the research of Dr. Gerhard Schrader, a German biochemist working on new pesticides in the 1930's.
After accidently exposing himself to a newly synthesized organophosphate compound, Schrader noticed his eyesight began to deteriorate and he had difficulty breathing, as well as a spreading paralysis in his limbs.

Cocaine can be degraded by hydrolysis of the benzoyl ester group to yield inactive products and a catalyst for this reaction could reduce serum cocaine concentrations, deprive the cocaine abuser of the behavioral reinforcing effect of the drug, and thus favor extinction of the addiction.
Substrate-assisted enzymatic catalysis: Cyclic analogs based on phosphinate esters have been synthesized in order to elicit antibodies that would allow for the protonated bridgehead amine in cocaine to participate in intramolecular catalysis.
Reactive immunization: Analogs of cocaine with the organophosphate ester functionality of nerve agents and pesticides are expected to yield abzyme mimics of choline esterases.
