Casualties caused by nerve agents, potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, have attracted attention from media recently. Poisoning with these chemicals may be fatal if not correctly addressed. Therefore, research on novel antidotes is clearly warranted. Pyridinium oximes are the only clinically available compounds, but poor penetration into the blood-brain barrier hampers efficient enzyme reactivation at the central nervous system. In searching for structural factors that may be explored in SAR studies, we synthesized and evaluated neutral aryloximes as reactivators for acetylcholinesterase inhibited by NEMP, a VX surrogate. Although few tested compounds reached comparable reactivation results with clinical standards, they may be considered as leads for further optimization.

Oxime reactivators are the drugs of choice for the post-treatment of OP (organophosphorus) intoxication and used widely for mechanistic and kinetic studies of OP-inhibited cholinesterases. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate new oxime compounds to reactivate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibited by the OP paraoxon. Several new bisquaternary pyridinium oximes with heterocyclic linkers along with some known bisquaternary pyridinium oximes bearing aliphatic linkers were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro reactivation potency against paraoxon-inhibited electric eel acetylcholinesterase (EeAChE) and recombinant human acetylcholinesterase (rHuAChE). Results herein indicate that most of the compounds are better reactivators of EeAChE than of rHuAChE. The reactivation potency of two different classes of compounds with varying linker chains was compared and observed that the structure of the connecting chain is an important factor for the activity of the reactivators. At a higher concentration (10-3 M), compounds bearing aliphatic linker showed better reactivation than compounds with heterocyclic linkers. Interestingly, oximes with a heterocyclic linker inhibited AChE at higher concentration (10-3 M), whereas their ability to reactivate was increased at lower concentrations (10-4 M and 10-5 M). Compounds bearing either a thiophene linker 26, 46 or a furan linker 31 showed 59%, 49% and 52% reactivation of EeAChE, respectively, at 10-5 M. These compounds showed 14%, 6% and 15% reactivation of rHuAChE at 10-4 M. Amongst newly synthesized analogs with heterocyclic linkers (26-35 and 45-46), compound 31, bearing furan linker chain, was found to be the most effective reactivator with a kr 0.042 min-1, which is better than obidoxime (3) for paraoxon-inhibited EeAChE. Compound 31 showed a kr 0.0041 min-1 that is near equal to pralidoxime (1) for paraoxon-inhibited rHuAChE.

Mono- and bisbenzyloxime ethers of the bispyridinium derivative TMB-4 (UNO, DUG) are potent allosteric modulators of the muscarinic receptor attracting clinical interest in case of organophosphate poisoning. In order to work out the stability of these compounds oximes, different oxime ethers and potential degradation products were synthesized and UV- and NMR-spectroscopically characterized. The process of degradation of all compounds was observed under stress conditions at varying pH-values and different temperatures by means of time-dependent NMR- and UV-measurements. The pyridinium aldoxime turned out to be rather stable, whereas the oxime ether and cyano derivatives convert to the pyridone at high pH-values and high temperature. The mechanism of degradation is discussed.
