Counteracting poisoning with chemical warfare nerve agents
Phosphylation of the pivotal enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by nerve agents (NAs) leads to irreversible inhibition of the enzyme and accumulation of neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which induces cholinergic crisis, that is, overstimulation of ...

The ganglionic blocking properties of the cholinesterase reactivator, HS-6
Following intravenous administration of the cholinesterase reactivator HS-6 (30 mg/kg), blood pressure fell (up to 50 mmHg) and maximal blood levels of HS-6 reached 242 μg/ml. HS-6 attenuated the pressor response resulting from carotid occlusion and the

Ethylene as catalyst reactivator in the propene-styrene copolymerization
An experiment was conducted to show the presence of ethylene as catalyst reactivator in the propene-styrene copolymerization. The copolymerizations have been performed by bubbling the gaseous monomers at atmospheric pressure into a flask containing a ...

Productive reorientation of a bound oxime reactivator revealed in room temperature X-ray structures of native and VX-inhibited human acetylcholinesterase [PDF]
Exposure to organophosphorus compounds (OPs) may be fatal if untreated, and a clear and present danger posed by nerve agent OPs has become palpable in recent years.

New Uncharged 2-Thienostilbene Oximes as Reactivators of Organophosphate-Inhibited Cholinesterases
The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) by organophosphates (OPs) as nerve agents and pesticides compromises normal cholinergic nerve signal transduction in the peripheral and central nervous systems (CNS) leading ...

1. The influence of anticholinergic drugs (atropine, benactyzine, biperiden) on the efficacy of monopyridinium and bispyridinium oximes (HI-6, BI-6, obidoxime, pralidoxime, methoxime) on soman-induced supralethal poisoning was studied in mice. 2.
