Overview
Insecticides (e.
g., parathion, chlorpyrifos, methylchlorpyrifos) and nerve agents (e.g., soman, sarin, tabun, VX) belong to the group of organophosphates. They are able to irreversibly inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Three new reactivators with a 3-oxapentane connecting chain were prepared. The ability of the new compounds to reactivate AChE inhibited by pesticides was tested in vitro and compared to known oximes (pralidoxime, methoxime, trimedoxime, obidoxime, HI-6). The results show that the new substances are superior to known reactivators in the case of methylchlorpyrifos-inhibited AChE at a concentration of 10⁻³ M which is unfortunately not applicable to in vivo experiments. All tested compounds are practically ineffective for methylchlorpyrifos-inhibited AChE at the physiological concentration (10⁻⁵ M). On the other hand, the known reactivators surpass new substances in the case of chlorpyrifos-inhibited AChE at both concentrations.
