Acetylcholinesterase reactivators are crucial antidotes for the treatment of organophosphate intoxication. Eighteen monoquaternary reactivators of acetylcholinesterase with modified side chain were developed in an effort to extend the properties of pralidoxime. The known reactivators (pralidoxime, HI-6, obidoxime, trimedoxime, methoxime) and

In continuation of our investigations of unsymmetrical bisquaternary monooximes, we synthesized four new series of compounds bridged by hexyl, heptyl, octyl and nonyl groups. All eight monooximes viz., dibromides of 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)6-(3/4-carbamoylpyridinium)hexane, 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-7-(3/4-carbamoylpyridinium)heptane, 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-8-(3/4-carbamoylpyridinium)octane, 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-9-(3/4-carbamoylpyridinium)nonane as well as the corresponding bis-oximes

A new class of amidine-oxime reactivators of organophosphate (OP)-inhibited cholinesterases (ChE) was synthesized and tested in vitro and in vivo. Compared with 2-PAM, the most promising cyclic amidine-oxime (i.e., 12e) showed comparable or greater reactivation of OP-inactivated AChE and OP-inactivated

Six novel AChE reactivators with a (Z)-but-2-ene linker were synthesized using the known synthetic pathways. Their ability to reactivate AChE, which had been previously inhibited by nerve agent tabun or pesticide paraoxon, was tested in vitro and compared to pralidoxime

The treatment of poisoning by highly toxic organophosphorus compounds (nerve agents) is unsatisfactory. Until now, the efficacy of new potential antidotes has primarily been evaluated in animals. However, the extrapolation of these results to humans is hampered by species differences.
