Soman was the third of the so-called G-series nerve agents to be discovered along with GA (tabun), GB (sarin), and GF (cyclosarin). When pure, soman is a volatile, corrosive, and colorless liquid with a faint odor like that of mothballs or rotten fruit. [3] More commonly, it is a yellow to brown color and has a strong odor described as similar ...
OPAA’s susbstrate-specificity to organophosphorus-containing compounds, especially fluoride-containing G-type nerve agents such as sarin, cyclosarin, tabun, and soman, [13] [14] have drawn the interest of the U.S. Army . That attention has resulted in the establishment of a biodegradation program in search of safe and effective means of ...

However, compared with other highly toxic nerve agents like soman or sarin, VX undergoes relatively slow "aging". Aging is a time-dependent side reaction (loss of an alkoxyl group) that occurs on nerve agents after phosphorylation and renders the nerve agent-acetylcholinesterase complex highly resistant to regeneration by any known antidote.
Methamidophos, trade name "Monitor," is an organophosphate insecticide.. Crops grown with the use of methamidophos include potatoes [1] and some Latin American rice. [2] Many nations have used methamidophos on crops, including developed nations such as Spain, United States, Japan, and Australia.
Wyeth Pharmaceuticals stopped manufacturing echothiophate iodide in the US in 2003. After contacting the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), Wyeth rescinded their decision and, according to AAO public relations representative Michelle Stephens, the AAO and Wyeth were in talks for about a year about manufacturing it.
Tetrachlorvinphos was initially registered for use in the United States in 1966 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.Tetrachlorvinphos was originally registered for use on various food crops, livestock, pet animals, and in or around buildings.
