This is particularly useful when processing toxic or highly potent compounds.

It is still experimenting to determine the most potent compounds, its chief scientist, Mark Zoller, said.

Apart from being a potent toxic compound, it may also be used in therapeutic ways.

In 2007 few of the most potent compounds contain a proline mimetic cyanopyrrolidine P1 group.

The most potent compounds from this family, novichok-5 and novichok-7, are supposedly around 5-8x more potent than VX.
