EA-2192 is an extremely potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It is almost as toxic as VX itself, but it is inferior in dermal penetration.SUMMARY OF MAJOR EVENTS and PROBLEMS. United States Army Chemical Corps (U). FY 1960. p-116 US Army Chemical Corps Historical Office Army Chemical Center, Maryland. April 1961.

EA-2192 instantly ages acetylcholinesterase as it is the dealkylated form of VX and can also not be reversed with common oxime reactivators.
