Iso-OMPA
Synonyms: Tetraisopropyl pyrophosphoramide
Iso-OMPA (Tetraisopropyl pyrophosphoramide) is a selective inhibitor of butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE), functioning through irreversible inhibition. This compound is primarily utilized in research to investigate the mechanisms of BuChE and the resulting effects on acetylcholine metabolism. Iso-OMPA has been shown to enhance soman toxicity in rat models, linked to the inhibition of plasma carboxylesterase (CarbE), making it a valuable tool in studies of nerve agent effects and cholinergic signaling.
