In this work, two oximes for the treatment of tabun-inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7), K074 (1,4-bis(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)butane dibromide) and K075 ((E)-1,4-bis(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)but-2-en dibromide), were tested in vitro as reactivators of AChE. Comparison was made with currently used AChE reactivators (pralidoxime, HI-6, methoxime and obidoxime). Human brain homogenate was taken as an appropriate source of the cholinesterases. As resulted, oxime K074 appears to be the most potent reactivator of tabun-inhibited AChE, with reactivation potency comparable to that of obidoxime. A second AChE reactivator, K075, does not attain as great a reactivation potency as K074, although its maximal reactivation (17%) was achieved at relevant concentrations for humans.

INTRODUCTION: Organophosphorus nerve agents inhibit the enzyme, acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7). AChE reactivators (also known as oximes) are generally used for the reactivation of an inhibited enzyme. METHODS: Two new AChE reactivators--K033 and K027--were tested for their in vitro reactivation of sarin-inhibited pig-brain AChE. Their reactivation potencies were compared with the commercially available AChE reactivators, pralidoxime, obidoxime, and HI-6. RESULTS: Of the oximes tested, the newly developed oxime K027 achieved the highest reactivation potency (100%; concentration of the oxime -10(-2) M). However, oxime HI-6 (33%) and obidoxime (23%) seem to be the best AChE reactivators for human relevant doses (10(-4) M and lower). CONCLUSION: For human relevant doses, newly developed oximes (K027 and K033) do not surpass the reactivation potency of the most promising oxime, HI-6.

We investigated the relationship between the chemical structure of acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) reactivators and their potency in reactivating this enzyme, after prior inhibition by VX (O-ethyl-S-(2-diisopropylaminoethyl)-methylthiophosphonate), tabun, sarin, and cyclosarin. The oximes, pralidoxime (2-PAM), HI-6 [1-(2-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-3-(4-carbamoylpyridinium)-2-oxa-propane dichloride], obidoxime and HS-6 [1-(2-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-3-(3-carbamoylpyridinium)-2-oxa-propane dichloride] were used as representatives of the group of AChE reactivators. Rat brain AChE was used as the appropriate source of the enzyme. Our results confirm that there is no single broad-spectrum oxime suitable for the treatment of poisoning with all highly toxic organophosphorus agents.
