Fig. 2From: An ecotoxicological view on neurotoxicity assessmentMechanism of action of an AChE inhibitor on the example of the insecticide diazinon (simplified from [117]). After oxidation catalysed by cytochrome p450 monooxygenases, Diazinon is metabolized into Diazoxon which can inhibit acetylcholinesterase. Via further phase 1 and phase 2 metabolization steps the molecule is eliminatedBack to article page
