Aged (24-month-old) rats were treated chronically with methanesulfonyl fluoride (MSF), an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor with selectivity for central nervous system AChE, or with injection vehicle alone. Twelve 0.22 mg/kg IP injections were given over 4 weeks. MSF rats showed significantly

The chemical reactivity and physical properties of methanesulfonyl fluoride (MSF) were quantitatively measured for direct comparison with those of isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate (GB, sarin) and diisopropyl phosphorofluoridate (DFP). The chemistry involved reaction rate constant measurements of MSF hydrolysis and for reactions

Irreversible acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition accumulates to high levels in the central nervous system (CNS) because AChE turnover in the brain is much slower than in peripheral tissues. As expected from this CNS selectivity, the irreversible AChE inhibitor methanesulfonyl fluoride (MSF)

In order to study the sensitivity of acetylcholine (ACh) receptors exposed to anticholinesterase drugs, the ionophoretically evoked end-plate currents (e.p.c.i) in frog sartorius muscle were studied. During treatment with prostigmine (PST, 3 microM) or methanesulfonyl fluoride (MSF, 1-2 mM), the

1. Contractile responses and acetylcholine release evoked by nicotine in guinea-pig detrusor strips were determined by isotonic transducer and radioimmunoassay, respectively. Nicotine stimulated acetylcholine release and a contractile response in guinea-pig detrusor strips treated with the cholinesterase inhibitor, methanesulphonyl fluoride
