16838488 Musilek K, Kuca K, Jun D, Dohnal V, Kim TH, Jung YS, Dolezal M: [Synthesis of reactivators of phosphorylated acetylcholinesterase of bis-pyridiniumdialdoxime type with a 3-oxapentane connecting chain and their testing in vitro on a model of the enzyme inhibited by chlorpyrifos and methylchlorpyrifos]. Ceska Slov Farm. 2006 May;55(3):115-9.
Insecticides (e.g., parathion, chlorpyrifos, methylchlorpyrifos) and nerve agents (e.g.. soman, sarin, tabun, VX) belong to the group of organophosphates. They are able to irreversibly inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Three new reactivators with a 3-oxapentane connecting chain were prepared. The ability of the new compounds to reactivate AChE inhibited by pesticides was tested in vitro and compared to known oxime 10 (-3) M which is unfortunately not applicable to in vivo experiments. All tested compounds are practically ineffective for methylchlorpyrifos-inhibited AChE at the physiological concentration (10 (-5) M). On the other hand, the known reactivators surpass new substances in the case of chlorpyrifos-inhibited AChE at both concentrations.
