This study reviews current understanding of chemical, biochemical and toxicological aspects and mechanisms of metabolism of warfare nerve agents. Among enzymes participating in metabolism of nerve agents the role of A-esterases, serum cholinesterase and carboxylesterases is discussed. This article also discusses other aspects of metabolism of the agents such as protein binding and the role of tissue depots for these compounds.
