Description

Ethoxy-Fluorophosphoryl-N-Methylmethanamine is a chemical that belongs to the class of nerve agents. It can be used as an antidote for sarin poisoning. This compound reacts with the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase, which breaks down acetylcholine in the synapses. In this way, it blocks the transmission of nerve impulses and causes muscle paralysis. Ethoxy-Fluorophosphoryl-N-Methylmethanamine acts as an antagonist of acetylcholine receptors in both animals and humans. It also inhibits cholinesterase activity in blood pressure regulation, which leads to increased blood pressure levels. When administered at sublethal doses, this compound induces a long lasting sensitization of the central nervous system to other cholinergic drugs such as atropine or nerve gases such as sarin.
