An inhibitor of skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction. A "chemical phosphatase" that dephosphorylates acetylcholinesterase poisoned with organophosphates. Inhibits Ca2+ currents in adult rat cervical ganglion in a reversible and dose-dependent manner (IC50 = 18.3 nM). Also shown to induce Ca2+ release from canine cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR).
