title: Stereospecific reactivation of human brain and erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase inhibited by 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl methylphosphonofluoridate (soman).
abstract: Human erythrocyte and brain acetylcholinesterase are preferentially inhibited by the P(-)-isomers of C(+/-)P(+/-)-soman. The enzymes inhibited by the P(-)-isomers behave similarly with respect to oxime-induced reactivation and aging. HI-6 is the best reactivator for C(+)P(-)-soman-inhibited acetylcholinesterases. Oxime-induced reactivation of the C(-)P(-)-soman-inhibited acetylcholinesterases is much more difficult to achieve.
