Effectivity of new acetylcholinesterase reactivators in treatment of cyclosarin poisoning in mice and rats.

Effect of Seven Newly Synthesized and Currently Available Oxime Cholinesterase Reactivators on Cyclosarin-Intoxicated Rats

Seven new oxime-based acetylcholinesterase reactivators were compared with three currently available ones (obidoxime, trimedoxime, HI-6) for their ability to lessen cholinesterase inhibition in blood and brain of cyclosarin-treated rats. Oximes were given at doses of 5% their LD(50) along with 21 mg/kg atropine five min before the LD(50) of cyclosarin (120 ug/kg) was administered. Blood and bra...

Substituted monoquaternary oximes as reactivators of cyclosarin--and chlorpyrifos--inhibited acetylcholinesterase.

This paper describes an in vitro study of three potential acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) reactivators derived from a monoquaternary reactivator pralidoxime. Compounds used were pyridinium-2-aldoxime-4-carbamoyl-N-methyl iodide (TO231), pyridinium-2-aldoxime-4-ethoxycarbonyl-N-methyl iodide (TO237), and pyridinium-2-aldoxime-5-ethoxycarbonyl-N-methyl iodide (TO238). Pralidoxime and obid...

In vitro Evaluation of New Acetylcholinesterase Reactivators as Casual Antidotes against Tabun and Cyclosarin

New quaternary pyridine aldoximes as casual antidotes against nerve agents intoxications.

In this work, the ability of four newly synthesized oximes--K005 (1,3-bis(2-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium) propane dibromide), K027 (1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-3-(4-carbamoylpyridinium) propane dibromide), K033 (1,4-bis(2-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium) butane dibromide) and K048 (1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-4-(4-carbamoylpyridinium) butane dibromide) to reactivate acetylcholinester...

Reactivation of organophosphate inhibited acetylcholinesterase activity by α,ω-bis-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)alkanes in vitro

In this article, we have followed up the relationship between the ability to reactivate acetylcholinesterase inhibited by organophosphorus compounds and the length of linking chain between two 4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium rings of acetylcholinesterase reactivators. α,ω-bis(4hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium) alkanes have been used as the tested acetylcholinesterase reactivators. These oximes diffe...
