10 relations: Acaricide, Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, American Cyanamid, Central nervous system, Cholinesterase, Enzyme, Insecticide, Malathion, Organophosphate, Pascal (unit).

Acaricide

Acaricides are pesticides that kill members of the arachnid subclass Acari, which includes ticks and mites.

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitor

An acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (often abbreviated AChEI) or anti-cholinesterase is a chemical or a drug that inhibits the acetylcholinesterase enzyme from breaking down acetylcholine, thereby increasing both the level and duration of action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
