Abstract:
:1. The reactivating and therapeutic efficacy of a new acetylcholinesterase reactivator, designated BI-6 (1-/2-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium/-4-/carbamoylpyridinium/- 2-butene dibromide), against organophosphate sarin was compared with presently used oximes (pralidoxime, obidoxime, methoxime) and H oximes (HI-6, HLö-7) by in vitro and in vivo methods. 2. Our results confirm that the new oxime BI-6 is a significantly more efficacious acetylcholinesterase reactivator than currently available pralidoxime and obidoxime but not as effective as H oximes (HI-6, HLö-7) in vitro as well as in vivo. In addition, the oxime BI-6 is able to protect supralethal sarin poisoned rats at human-relevant doses. 3. Our data also suggest that the potency of oximes tested to reactivate sarin-inhibited acetylcholinesterase in vitro closely corresponds to their reactivating efficacy in vivo and their ability to protect rats poisoned with supralethal doses of sarin.
