1. Reactivation of erythrocyte cholinesterase inhibited by ethyl p-nitrophenyl ethylphosphonate (armine) was studied with NN'-dimethylenebis-(4-hydroxy-iminomethylpyridinium bromide) (C(2)-oxime), NN'-trimethylenebis-(4-hydroxy-iminomethylpyridinium bromide) (C(3)-oxime), NN'-tetramethylene-(4-hydroxy-iminomethylpyridinium bromide) (C(4)-oxime) and NN'-pentamethylenebis-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyr...

Acetylcholinesterase has important role in synaptic cleft. It breaks down the acetylcholineatcholinergic synapsesand terminates the cholinergic effects. Some chemical agents likeorganophosphorus compounds (OPCs) including nerve agents and pesticides react withacetylcholinesteraseirreversibly. They inhibit normal biological enzyme action and resultin accumulation of acetylcholineand show toxic e...

Nerve agents are highly toxic organophosphorus compounds with strong inhibition potency against acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Herein, we describe two first extremely promising uncharged reactivators for poisoned human AChE with a superior or similar in vitro ability to reactivate the enzyme as compared to that of HI-6, obidoxime, TMB-4 and HLö-7.

Two promising uncharged reactivators for inhibited human BChE and AChE have been described. These compounds show an ability to reactivate VX-inhibited BChE largely superior to those of known pyridinium aldoximes. Moreover, these oximes also exhibit a good ability to reactivate VX-, tabun- and paraoxon-inhibited human AChE.

Tabun (O-ethyl-N,N-dimethyl phosphoramidocyanidate) belongs to highly toxic organophosphorus compounds misused as chemical warfare agents for military as well as terroristic purposes. It differs from other highly toxic organophosphates by its chemical structure and by the fact that tabun-inhibited acetylcholinesterase is extraordinarily difficult to reactivate. The antidotal treatment of tabun ...

The chromatographic behavior was studied of a series of potential acetylcholinesterase reactivators, pyridinium oximes, bearing linear aliphatic chains of the length of the aliphatic bridge from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, on a pentafluorophenyl-modified stationary phase. The retention mechanisms and the dependence of the capacity factor on mobile phase composition, aliphatic chain bridge length and ...

background: the role and proper dose of pralidoxime in the treatment of organophosphorus (op) compounds poisoning is an unresolved issue .this study was designed to compare the regimen recommended by the world health organization (who) with the commonly used standard regimen of pralidoxime. methods: this was a randomized open labeled prospective study on op poisoned patients admitted to jss hos...

We have evaluated in vitro the potency of 23 oximes to reactivate human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and plasma butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibited by racemic leptophos-oxon (O-[4-bromo-2,5-dichlorophenyl]-O-methyl phenyl-phosphonate), a toxic metabolite of the pesticide leptophos. Compounds were assayed in concentrations of 10 and 100 μM. In case of leptophos-oxon inhibited AChE,...
