Anticholinergic Chemical Warfare Compounds
Pathophysiology of Anticholinergic Chemical Warfare Injuries
BZ binds to muscarinic cholinergic receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), smooth muscle, and exocrine glands and blocks acetylcholine (ACh) at these sites. The decrease in cholinergic stimulation produces the anticholinergic toxidrome (see table Common Toxic Syndromes ).
