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.

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.
