Organophosphate pesticides (OP) are comprised of a phosphate (or thio- or dithio-phosphate) moiety and an organic moiety. Examples: Malathion, parathion, diazinon, fenthion, dichlorvos, chlorpyrifos, ethion.
Organophosphate insecticides (such as diazinon) are one type of pesticide that works by damaging an enzyme in the body called acetylcholinesterase. This enzyme is critical for controlling nerve signals in the body. The damage to this enzyme kills pests and may cause unwanted side effects in exposed humans.
The definitive treatment for organophosphate poisoning is atropine, which competes with acetylcholine at the muscarinic receptors.
