Phenyltetrahydroisoquinoline-pyridinaldoxime conjugates as efficient uncharged reactivators for the dephosphylation of inhibited human acetylcholinesterase.
Résumé
Pyridinium and bis-pyridinium aldoximes are used as antidotes to reactivate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibited by organophosphorus nerve agents. Herein, we described a series of nine nonquaternary phenyltetrahydroisoquinoline-pyridinaldoxime conjugates more efficient than or as efficient as pyridinium oximes to reactivate VX-, tabun- and ethyl paraoxon-inhibited human AChE. This study explores the structure-activity relationships of this new family of reactivators and shows that 1b-d are uncharged hAChE reactivators with a broad spectrum.
