Reactivation of Cyclosarin-inhibited Rat Brain Acetylcholinesterase by Pyridinium–Oximes [PDF]
Cyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate (cyclosarin, cyclosin, GF) is a highly toxic organophosphate, which is resistant to conventional oxime therapy. To gain insight into the reactivation kinetics, rat brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was inhibited in vitro by cyclosarin (pH 8.0, 25 degrees C) and reactivated with 22 different pyridiniumoximes.

In vitro detoxification of cyclosarin (GF) by modified cyclodextrins
Toxicology Letters, 2011Developing potent detoxification strategies for prophylaxis and therapy against organophosphate (OP) intoxication still represents a challenging task. Clinical application of numerous investigated substances including enzymes and low molecular scavengers like metal ions or nucleophiles could not yet be realised due to profound disadvantages.

Effects of low-level sarin and cyclosarin exposure on hippocampal subfields in Gulf War Veterans [PDF]
More than 100,000 US troops were potentially exposed to chemical warfare agents sarin (GB) and cyclosarin (GF) when an ammunition dump at Khamisiyah, Iraq was destroyed during the 1991 Gulf War (GW). We previously reported reduced hippocampal volume in GW veterans with suspected GB/GF exposure relative to matched, unexposed GW veterans estimated from 1.

In vitro toxicokinetic studies of cyclosarin: Molecular mechanisms of elimination
Toxicology Letters, 2014The toxicokinetics of in vitro elimination of highly toxic cyclosarin (GF) in biological systems revealed striking stereoselective differences in the range of 0.01μM to 1mM GF. While weak concentration dependency was detected for elimination of the toxic (-)-enantiomer indicating catalytic processes, elimination of less toxic (+)-GF followed unusual ...

Effectiveness of a substituted β-cyclodextrin to prevent cyclosarin toxicity in vivo
Toxicology Letters, 2014Standard treatment of poisoning by organophosphorus (OP) nerve agents with atropine and an oxime has a limited efficacy. An alternative approach is the development of stoichiometric or catalytic (bio-)scavengers which should be able to prevent systemic toxicity. Recently, a β-cyclodextrin derivative, 6-OxP-CD, bearing a pyridinium oximate in 6-position

New group of xylene linker-containing acetylcholinesterase reactivators as antidotes against the nerve agent cyclosarin [PDF]
Nerve agents such as sarin, cyclosarin and tabun are organophosphorus substances able to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7). AChE reactivators and anticholinergics are generally used as antidotes in the case of intoxication with these agents.
