Metrifonate
Metrifonate is an organophosphorus prodrug that is metabolised non-enzymatically in the body to DDVP (dichlorvos), which acts as an irreversible cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitor. It inactivates ChE by phosphorylating the serine residue at its active site, making it useful for treating Alzheimer's disease and as an insecticide. Metrifonate affects AChE activity, oxidative stress, neurotoxicity, and cortisol levels in carp.
