1. The kinetics of the interaction of O-ethyl-S-n-alkylmethylthiophosphinates with horse serum cholinesterase and ox erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase were investigated. The constants of the aqueous alkaline hydrolysis of the compounds studied were determined. 2. The anticholinesterase activity of O-ethyl-S-n-alkylmethylthiophosphinates is greatly dependent upon the length of the alkyl radical.
