yep people this answer is E
2PAM is a reactivator of acetylccoline esterase -- this is the enzyme that is inhibited by organophosphates --e.g malathion
2PAM has to be given early in the treatment of organophosphate poisoning becausee the enzyme ages and this prevents reactivation

Why would we give an AChase re-activator in Myasthenia Gravis?
(we give AChase inhibitors...)
