II. Causes: Organophosphate Poisoning

  1. Management: See Organophosphate Poisoning Management
  2. Mechanism
    1. Irreversibly inhibits Cholinesterase
    2. Results in Cholinergic Toxicity
  3. Pesticides
    1. Acephate (Orthene)
    2. Chlorphoxim (Baythion-C)
    3. Chlorpyrifos (Dursban, Lorsban)
    4. Diazinon

  4. Other Organophosphate agents
    1. Triorthocresyl phosphate (TOCP)
      1. Used in hydraulic fluids, lubricants, plastics
      2. May contaminate foods and result in Neuropathy

III. Causes: Carbamate Poisoning

  1. Mechanism
    1. Reversible Cholinesterase inhibition
    2. Results in Cholinergic Toxicity
      1. Less severe toxicity than with Organophosphates
  2. Management
    1. Similar to Organophosphate Poisoning Management
    2. 2-PAMCl not indicated unless mixed exposure
  3. Pesticides
    1. Carbaryl (Sevin)
    2. Primicarb (Aphox, Rapid)
    3. Propoxur (Baygon)
    4. Timethacarb (Landrin)

Ontology: Carbamates (C0006948)

Definition (MSH) Derivatives of carbamic acid, H2NC(=O)OH. Included under this heading are N-substituted and O-substituted carbamic acids. In general carbamate esters are referred to as urethanes, and polymers that include repeating units of carbamate are referred to as POLYURETHANES. Note however that polyurethanes are derived from the polymerization of ISOCYANATES and the singular term URETHANE refers to the ethyl ester of carbamic acid.
Definition (CSP) carbamic acid, its salts or esters; contains the general formula NH2-COO-.

Ontology: Phosphoric Acid Esters (C0031701)

Definition (NCI_NCI-GLOSS) A form of phosphoric acid, which contains phosphorus. In the body, phosphates are found in the bones and teeth. Phosphates may be used to treat a high level of calcium in the blood. Adding or removing phosphate chemical groups may affect the way proteins act in the body.
Definition (NCI) An ester of phosphoric acid, which contains phosphorus. Organic phosphates play important roles in biochemistry and biogeochemistry or ecology.
Definition (MSH) Organic esters of phosphoric acid.
Definition (CSP) organic esters of phosphoric acid.
