Abstract
A comparison of one mono- and seven bisquaternary acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reactivators of acetylcholinesterase inhibited by VX agent was performed. As a source of the acetylcholinesterase, a rat brain homogenate was taken. There were significant differences in reactivation potency of all tested oximes. The oxime TO205 seems to be the most efficacious followed by TO046, HI-6, HS-6, K027, obidoxime, MMC and 2-PAM. In addition, the results of this study showed that the reactivation potency of the tested reactivators depends on many factors-such as the number of pyridinium rings, the number of oxime groups and their position, as well as the length and the shape of linkage bridge between two pyridinium rings.
