General description

active agent in Toxogonin

Biochem/physiol Actions

Antidote for organophosphate nerve agent poisoning, but, as with other oxime agents, not full spectrum. Obidoxime fails primarily to reactivate acetylcholinesterase that has been inhibited with cyclosarin.

Obidoxime, a well-known bis-pyridinium reactivator, is often the preferred antidote of organophosphorus poisoning caused by pesticides and tabun. It is also considered to be an allosteric modulator of muscarinic receptors, preferably M2 sub-type. This study compared the effect of obidoxime

A series of bis-pyridinium oximes connected by methoxy alkane linkers were synthesized and their in vitro reactivation efficacy was evaluated against sarin-inhibited human AChE, and data were compared with 2-PAM and obidoxime. Among the synthesized compounds, 1,2-dimethoxy ethylene bis-[4,4'-(hydroxyiminomethyl) pyridinium]

Toxicology letters, 197(3), 236-242 (2010-06-15)
Reactivation of inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with oximes is a causal therapy of intoxication with organophosphorus compounds (OPs). Maximal oxime effects are expected when effective doses are administered as soon as possible and as long as reactivation can be anticipated. An

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 47(18), 5295-5297 (2011-04-01)
Nerve agents are highly toxic organophosphorus compounds with strong inhibition potency against acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Herein, we describe two first extremely promising uncharged reactivators for poisoned human AChE with a superior or similar in vitro ability to reactivate the enzyme as
Marloes J A Joosen et al.
Archives of toxicology, 85(3), 227-237 (2010-09-16)
Current treatment of organophosphate poisoning is insufficient, and survivors may suffer from long-lasting adverse effects, such as cognitive deficits and sleep-wake disturbances. In the present study, we aimed at developing a guinea pig model to investigate the benefits of immediate
