Application

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

Biochem/physiol Actions
