Stress does not enable pyridostigmine to inhibit brain cholinesterase after parenteral administration.

Abstract:

:The peripherally acting cholinesterase inhibitor pyridostigmine was widely used during the Gulf War as a pretreatment against possible chemical warfare attack. Following consistent reports on long-term illness among Gulf War veterans, pyridostigmine was examined for its possible long-term effects. These effects were suggested to be induced by the combination of pyridostigmine administration and stress exposure that allowed this quaternary compound to enter the brain through stress induced changes in blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability. Recently, pyridostigmine administration was demonstrated to inhibit brain cholinesterase following acute stress in mice. However, the effect was not replicated under similar conditions in guinea pigs. Because of the significant implication of these findings, we tested brain cholinesterase (ChE) inhibition following the administration of pyridostigmine, or the tertiary carbamate physostigmine, with or without stress in mice. Different experiments were performed to examine the contribution of gender, age (young and adults), stress (type and intensity), or strain (CD-1 and FVB/n) parameters. No inhibition of brain ChE was detected in any of these experiments. At the same time, physostigmine induced the expected decrease in brain ChE in all the experiments. Thus, we could not replicate the findings that suggest pyridostigmine can affect brain cholinesterase following stress.
