Abstract
This study reviews current understanding of chemical, biochemical and toxicological aspects and mechanisms of metabolism of warfare nerve agents. Among enzymes participating in metabolism of nerve agents the role of A-esterases, serum cholinesterase and carboxylesterases is discussed. This article also discusses other aspects of metabolism of the agents such as protein binding and the role of tissue depots for these compounds.Mesh:
