General description

HI-6 functions as an antidote for treating intoxication caused by nerve agents. It acts as a potent drug in radiation protection and suppresses oxidative stress. HI-6 prevents the toxicity of the antineoplastic drug irinotecan.

Biochem/physiol Actions

HI-6 is an efficient oxime cholinesterase reactivator that is used as an antidote for organophosphates (Ops) exposure.

The standard treatment of intoxication with organophosphorus (OP) compounds includes the administration of oximes acting as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reactivating antidotes. However, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts the rapid transport of these drugs from the blood into the brain in therapeutically

The ability of three newly developed reversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) (K298, K344 and K474) and currently available carbamate pyridostigmine to increase the resistance of mice against soman and the efficacy of antidotal treatment of soman-poisoned mice was compared. Neither

As reactivators of inhibited acetylcholinesterase, oximes are essential antidotes in poisoning by organophosphorus compounds. Due to its superior efficacy in cases of soman, cyclosarin, and sarin poisoning, the oxime HI-6 represents a promising option for an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API)
