Acetylcholinesterase reactivators are crucial antidotes for the treatment of organophosphate intoxication. Eighteen monoquaternary reactivators of acetylcholinesterase with modified side chain were developed in an effort to extend the properties of pralidoxime. The known reactivators (pralidoxime, HI-6, obidoxime, trimedoxime, methoxime) and

Three asymmetrical AChE reactivators with cyano-moiety and propane linker were synthesized using modification of currently known synthetic pathways. Their potency to reactivate AChE inhibited by nerve agent tabun and insecticide paraoxon was tested in vitro and compared to pralidoxime, HI-6

In continuation of our investigations of unsymmetrical bisquaternary monooximes, we synthesized four new series of compounds bridged by hexyl, heptyl, octyl and nonyl groups. All eight monooximes viz., dibromides of 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)6-(3/4-carbamoylpyridinium)hexane, 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-7-(3/4-carbamoylpyridinium)heptane, 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-8-(3/4-carbamoylpyridinium)octane, 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-9-(3/4-carbamoylpyridinium)nonane as well as the corresponding bis-oximes

A series of carbamoyl bis-pyridinium monooximes linked with xylene linker were synthesized and their in-vitro reactivation potential was evaluated against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibited by organophosphorus inhibitors (OP) such as sarin, DFP and VX and the data were compared with reactivation

Acetylcholinesterase reactivators are crucial antidotes for the treatment of organophosphate intoxication. Fifteen new monooxime reactivators of acetylcholinesterase with a (E)-but-2-ene linker were developed in an effort to extend the properties of K-oxime (E)-1-(4-carbamoylpyridinium)-4-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-but-2-ene dibromide (K203). The known reactivators (pralidoxime, HI-6
