A patient developed a severe cholinergic syndrome from the use of echothiophate iodide ophthalmic drops, presented with profound muscle weakness and was initially given the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. Red blood cell and serum cholinesterase levels were severely depressed and symptoms resolved spontaneously following discontinuation of the eye drops.

Enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of echothiophate, a P-S bonded organophosphorus (OP) model, was spectrofluorimetrically monitored, using Calbiochem Probe IV as the thiol reagent. OP hydrolases were: the G117H mutant of human butyrylcholinesterase capable of hydrolyzing OPs, and a multiple mutant of phosphotriesterase, GG1, designed to hydrolyze a large spectrum of OPs at high rate, including V agents. Molecular modeling of interaction between Probe IV and OP hydrolases (G117H butyrylcholinesterase, GG1, wild types of and phosphotriesterases, and human paraoxonase-1) was performed.

The single residue mutation of butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) hydrolyzes a number of organophosphosphorus (OP) anticholinesterases. Whereas other BChE active site/proximal mutations have been investigated, none are sufficiently active to be prophylactically useful. In a fundamentally different computer simulations driven strategy, we identified a surface peptide loop (residues 278-285) exhibiting dynamic motions during catalysis and modified it via residue insertions.
