Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The rate constants of the interaction of O-n-alkyl-S-(β-ethylmercaptoethyl) methylthiophosphonates and their methylsulfomethylates with cholinesterase were determined.

  2. 2.

    The anticholinesterase activity of the investigated compound depends greatly upon the length of the alkoxyl group.

  3. 3.

    Evidently there are several hydrophobic portions on the active surface of cholinesterase, situated both close to the esterase center and close to the anionic center.
