Veratraldoxime is a chemical compound that is primarily studied for its potential as an antidote in the treatment of poisoning by certain toxic substances, particularly organophosphates (such as insecticides and nerve agents). It works by inhibiting the toxic effects of these substances on the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, which is crucial for nerve function. By restoring the proper function of acetylcholinesterase, veratraldoxime can help mitigate symptoms associated with organophosphate poisoning.
