Relative binding constants of arsenical-antidote adducts determined by NMR spectroscopy.

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to determine relative binding constants for several arsenical-antidote adducts. It was found that BAL (2,3-dimercaptopropanol) and DMPS (2,3-dimercaptopropanesulfonic acid) had a higher affinity than DMSA (2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid) for the two organic arsenicals studied.

Translational Antidote Research: A Bedside to Bench Tale

Although antidote development should proceed in an orderly fashion from observation, to experimental and safety studies, to clinical trials, this sequence is not always precisely followed. The development of fomepizole as an antidote for toxic alcohol and glycol poisoning is an example of how this may not be the case. Interest in the development of fomepizole was spurred in the 1960s. Shortly t...

A specific antidote for dabigatran: functional and structural characterization.

Dabigatran etexilate is a direct thrombin inhibitor and used widely as an anticoagulant for the prevention of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, anticoagulation therapy can be associated with an increased risk of bleeding. Here, we present data on the identification, humanization, and in vitro pharmacology of an antidote for dabigatran (aDabi-Fab). The X-ray crystal structure...

Antidotal efficacy of pyridinium oximes and cholineacetyltransferase inhibitors against organophosphorus intoxication in rodents.

In an attempt to develop effective antidote against organophosphorus intoxication, some new imidazole-pyridinium mono-oximes, long chain pyridinium mono-oximes and cholineacetyltransferase inhibitors were synthesised. These compounds were evaluated for their in vivo therapeutic protection and neuromuscular function studies in rodents. The results indicate that SPK-series oximes may be useful ag...
