Application

Tetraisopropyl pyrophosphoramide has been used:
  • as a butyrylcholinesterase inhibitor to determine the proportions of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in cat and tiger plasma[1]
  • to inhibit wild-type BChE in acetylcholinesterase assay[2]
  • to selectively block the enzymatic activity of AChE[3]

Biochem/physiol Actions
