echothiophate

Echothiophate is a parasympathomimetic and organophosphate which binds irreversibly to cholinesterase. Because of the very slow rate at which echothiophate is hydrolyzed by cholinesterase, its effects can last a week or more.

Clinical uses

Echothiophate is used as ocular drops in the treatment of chronic glaucoma. It is available under several trade names such as Phospholine Iodide (Weyth-Ayerst).
