METHOD OF BIOCHEMICAL IDENTIFICATION OF HIGHLY-TOXIC ANTICHOLINESTERASE POISONS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G01N33/68 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: method includes the determination of an inhibiting impact of a solution of highly-toxic anticholinesterase poison on cholinesterase activity, represented by acetylcholinesterase of human blood erythrocytes, in the presence and in the absence of a substrate, represented by acetylthiocholiniodide. The inhibiting impact of the solution of highly-toxic anticholinesterase poison on the activity of acetylcholinesterase of the human blood erythrocytes is determined first in the presence of the substrate, and then in its absence. An analysed sample is preliminarily diluted by 10 or 100 times to obtain the inhibiting effect on acetylcholinesterase of the human blood erythrocytes in the presence and in the absence of the substrate within 25-75%. After that, the value of the protective effect of acetylthiocholiniodide and the obtained calculated value is compared with table values, determined experimentally in advance for each particular highly-toxic anticholinesterase poison. If the calculated values coincide with the table values, a conclusion about the presence of a respective highly-toxic anticholinesterase poison in the analysed sample is made.

EFFECT: increase of safety.
