Organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs), used in chemical warfare, irreversibly inhibit essential cholinesterases (ChEs) in the cholinergic neurotransmission system. Several potent nucleophilic oximes have been approved for the treatment of acute poisoning by OPNAs, but they are rapidly cleared from blood circulation. Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) stoichiometrically binds nerve agents, but because the molecular weight of a nerve agent is about 500-fold less than the enzyme, the bioscavenger has had limited utility. We synthesized BChE-polymer-oxime conjugates using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and azide-alkyne "click"chemistry. The activity of the BChE-polymer-oxime conjugates was dependent on the degree of oxime loading within the copolymer side chains. The covalent modification of oxime-containing copolymers prolonged the activity of BChE in the presence of the VX-and cyclosarin-fluorogenic analogues EMP-MeCyC and CMP-MeCyC, respectively. After complete inactivation by VX and cyclosarin fluorogenic analogues, the conjugates demonstrated efficient self-reactivation of up to 80% within 3-6 h. Repeated inhibition and high-level self-reactivation assays revealed that the BChE-polymer-oxime conjugates were excellent reactivators of OPNA-inhibited BChE. Recurring self-reactivation of BChE-polymer-oxime conjugates following repeated BChE inhibition by fluorogenic OPNAs (Flu-OPNAs) opens the door to developing the next generation of nerve agent "catalytic"bioscavengers.

Background: Oximes and nitrofuranyl derivatives are particularly important compounds in medicinal chemistry. Thus, many researchers have been reported to possess antibacterial, antiparasitic, insecticidal and fungicidal activities. Methods: In this work, we report the synthesis and the biological activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV of a series of fifty aryl oximes, ArCH=N-OH, I, and eight nitrofuranyl compounds, 2-nitrofuranyl-X, II. Results: Among the oximes, I: Ar = 2-OH-4-OH, 42, and I: Ar = 5-nitrofuranyl, 46, possessed the best activity at 3.74 and 32.0 μM, respectively. Also, 46, the nitrofuran compounds, II; X = MeO, 55, and II: X = NHCH2Ph, 58, (14.6 and 12.6 μM, respectively), exhibited excellent biological activities and were non-cytotoxic. Conclusion: The compound 55 showed a selectivity index of 9.85. Further antibacterial tests were performed with compound 55 which was inactive against Enterococcus faecalis, Klebisiella pneumonae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhymurium and Shigel-la flexneri. This study adds important information to the rational design of new lead anti-TB drugs. Structure-activity Relationship (SAR) is reported.

Copper complex-functionalized magnetic core–shell nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2-Lig-Cu) were prepared and characterized using various techniques. The activity of the new catalyst was tested for the Beckmann rearrangement. The reaction conditions allow for the conversion of a wide variety of aldoximes, including aromatic and heterocyclic ones, to amides in good to excellent yields. High efficiency, mild reaction conditions, easy work-up, use of poly(ethylene glycol) as a green medium and simple purification of products are important advantages of this system. Moreover, the eco-friendly heterogeneous nanocatalyst could be easily recovered from the reaction mixture using an external magnet and reused several times.
