Abstract Chemical warfare nerve agents and pesticides, known as organophosphorus compounds inactivate cholinesterases (ChEs) by phosphorylating the serine hydroxyl group located at the active site of ChEs. Over the course of time, phosphorylation is followed by loss of an organophosphate‐leaving group and the bond with ChEs becomes irreversible, a ...

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of obidoxime in sarin-poisoned rats.
The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the oxime obidoxime (Toxogonin, 50 mg/kg iv) were investigated in anesthetized normal rats and in sarin-poisoned (50 micrograms/kg iv) rats. The kinetics were described by a two-compartment open model.

Paraoxon and obidoxime inhibit thrombin activity in vitro.
(A) Varying concentrations of paraoxon (500 nM, 5 μM, 28 μM, 50 μM, 0.28 mM and 0.5 mM) inhibit thrombin activity. (B) Obidoxime inhibits thrombin activity at varying concentrations.

Regulation of osmoadaptation in the moderate halophile Halobacillus halophilus : chloride, glutamate and switching osmolyte strategies [PDF]
The moderate halophile Halobacillus halophilus is the paradigm for chloride dependent growth in prokaryotes. Recent experiments shed light on the molecular basis of the chloride dependence that is reviewed here.

The Organophosphate Paraoxon and Its Antidote Obidoxime Inhibit Thrombin Activity and Affect Coagulation In Vitro. [PDF]
Organophosphates (OPs) are potentially able to affect serine proteases by reacting with their active site. The potential effects of OPs on coagulation factors such as thrombin and on coagulation tests have been only partially characterized and potential ...

Acetylcholine and Cholinesterase in Submandibular Glands of Rats Given Armin and Obidoxime
The effects of obidoxime, a pyridinium oxime, on the cholinesterase activity and acetylcholine content of the submandibular glands of rats poisoned with armin, an organophosphorus anticholinesterase agent, were studied.
