Evaluation of Potency of Known Oximes (Pralidoxime, Trimedoxime, HI-6, Methoxime, Obidoxime) to in vitro Reactivate Acetylcholinesterase Inhibited by Pesticides (Chlorpyrifos and Methylchlorpyrifos and Nerve Agent (Russian VX) [PDF]
Nerve agents and pesticides belong to the group of organophosphates. They are able to inhibit irreversibly the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Acetylcholinesterase reactivators were designed for the treatment of nerve agent intoxications.

Efficacy of trimedoxime in mice poisoned with dichlorvos, heptenophos or monocrotophos. [PDF]
Abstract: The aim of the study was to examine antidotal potency of trimedoxime in mice poisoned with three direct dimethoxy‐substituted organophosphorus inhibitors. In order to assess the protective efficacy of trimedoxime against dichlorvos, heptenophos or monocrotophos, median effective doses and efficacy half‐times were calculated.

Understand the interaction modes and reactivity of trimedoxime toward MmAChE inhibited by nerve agents: theoretical and experimental Aspects [PDF]
The organophosphorus compounds (OP) are used as both chemical weapons and pesticides. However, these agents are very dangerous and toxic to humans, animals, and the environment. Thus, investigations with reactivators have been deeply developed in order

A COMPARISON OF THE NEUROPROTECTIVE EFFICACY OF INDIVIDUAL OXIMES (HI-6, TRIMEDOXIME, K203) AND THEIR MIXTURES (HI-6 + TRIMEDOXIME, HI-6 + K203) IN CYCLOSARIN-POISONED RATS [PDF]
The ability of three oximes (HI-6, trimedoxime, K203) to reduce cyclosarin-induced acute neurotoxic signs and symptoms was compared with the neuroprotective efficacy of two combinations of oximes (HI-6 + trimedoxime, HI-6 + K203) using a functional ...

A comparison of the potency of trimedoxime and other currently available oximes to reactivate tabun-inhibited acetylcholinesterase and eliminate acute toxic effects of tabun. [PDF]
Tabun (O-ethyl-N,N-dimethyl phosphoramidocyanidate) belongs to highly toxic organophosphorus compounds misused as chemical warfare agents for military as well as terroristic purposes.

The Experimental Oxime K027-A Promising Protector From Organophosphate Pesticide Poisoning. A Review Comparing K027, K048, Pralidoxime, and Obidoxime. [PDF]
Poisoning with organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) is a major problem worldwide. Standard therapy with atropine and established oxime-type enzyme reactivators (pralidoxime, obidoxime) is unsatisfactory.

A complete, evidence-based review on novichok poisoning based on epidemiological aspects and clinical management. [PDF]
Background: The whole world has learned about the existence of a highly toxic neuro-paralytic substance called Novichok. A wide range of neuro-paralytic toxins were used during the wars of decades ago, which also had harmful and irreversible effects ...

Effect of seven newly synthesized and currently available oxime cholinesterase reactivators on cyclosarin-intoxicated rats. [PDF]
Seven new oxime-based acetylcholinesterase reactivators were compared with three currently available ones (obidoxime, trimedoxime, HI-6) for their ability to lessen cholinesterase inhibition in blood and brain of cyclosarin-treated rats.

Pediatric poisoning from trimedoxime (TMB4) and atropine automatic injectors.
To describe the effects of combined trimedoxime (TMB4) and atropine poisoning from automatic injectors (AI) in children.Data was collected from two sources: calls to the Israel Poison Information Center (IPIC) during a 1-year period and a cohort of children who presented to pediatric emergency departments (EDs) after unintentional injection of an AI ...
