Effect of pyridostigmine pretreatment on cardiorespiratory function in tabun poisoning.

Abstract:

:1. The effect of pyridostigmine on cardiorespiratory function after oxime + atropine injection was investigated in tabun poisoned guinea-pigs and without tabun poisoning. 2. The trachea, a carotid artery and jugular vein were cannulated in female urethane-anaesthetised Pirbright-white guinea-pigs. After baseline measurements the animals received pyridostigmine (0.05 mumol kg-1) and 30 min later atropine (29.5 mumol kg-1) plus obidoxime, HI 6 or HLö 7 (30 or 100 mumol kg-1) or tabun (1.85 mumol kg-1 = 5 x LD50) followed by oxime + atropine treatment (all i.v.). Erythrocyte, brain and diaphragm acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity were determined. Similar groups without pretreatment were included for comparison. 3. Pyridostigmine aggravated the oxime + atropine induced hypotension and prevented the increase in heart rate but not the respiratory stimulation. The pyridostigmine inhibited AChE recovered only in the 100 mumol kg-1 kg oxime groups at the end of the experiment. 4. In tabun poisoning, pyridostigmine reduced the oxime + atropine induced circulatory recovery and decreased the survival time and rate. It did not affect the therapeutic oxime + atropine effect on respiratory function. 5. These results suggest that pyridostigmine enhances oxime + atropine related circulatory depression which may be the reason for the reduced efficacy of oxime + atropine treatment in tabun poisoning. The possible mechanisms are discussed.

  • Hepatoprotective role of captopril on paraquat induced hepatotoxicity.

    abstract::Paraquat (PQ) is a highly toxic herbicide that is used in most of the countries without restriction. The cytotoxic effect of PQ is mediated by radicals, which are the products of PQ reduction in cells. The anti-oxidative action of captopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, appears to be through its ability...
