Abstract：
:Pharmacological properties of oxime reactivators, not related to its ability to regenerate or reactivate nerve agent-inhibited acetylcholinesterase located at nerve synapses, have been reported to be important in protecting against poisoning by the nerve agent soman. Such non-reactivation effects have thus far been associated only with bispyridinium oximes. This study investigated the possibility of creating similar non-reactivation therapeutic effects in the mono-pyridinium ring oxime, pralidoxime (2-PAM) through attachment of alkyl groups of increasing chain length to the oxime functional group. Of the 4 derivatives investigated, only the O-benzyl derivative displayed strong sedative effects in mice and mitigated the development of motor convulsions following soman challenge (1.8 x LD50, subcutaneous). Anticonvulsant effects of this compound were enhanced by co-administration of a non-anticonvulsant dose of atropine sulfate. Administration of equivalent amount of other O-derivatives of pralidoxime failed to elicit similar anticonvulsant actions. Electroencephalographic (EEG) and histopathological studies using the rat model, intoxicated with a lethal dose (1.6 x LD50, s.c.) of soman, confirmed O-benzyl derivative neuroprotective capabilities when used as a pretreatment drug. Microdialysis studies revealed that its neuroprotective effect is related to its ability to attenuate soman-induced increase in acetylcholine.
