A new class of amidine-oxime reactivators of organophosphate (OP)-inhibited cholinesterases (ChE) were designed, synthesized, and tested. These compounds represent a novel group of oximes with enhanced capabilities of crossing the blood-brain barrier. Lack of brain penetration is a major limitation for currently used oximes as antidotes of OP poisoning. The concept described herein relies on a combination of an amidine residue and oxime functionality whereby the amidine increases the binding affinity to the ChE and the oxime is responsible for reactivation. Amidine-oximes were tested in vitro and reactivation rates for OP-BuChE were greater than pralidoxime (2-PAM) or monoisonitrosoacetone (MINA). Amidine-oxime reactivation rates for OP-AChE were lower compared to 2-PAM but greater compared with MINA. After pretreatment for 30 min with oximes 15c and 15d (145 μmol/kg, ip) mice were challenged with a soman model compound. In addition, 15d was tested in a post-treatment experiment (145 μmol/kg, ip, administration 5 min after sarin model compound exposure). In both cases, amidine-oximes afforded 100% 24 h survival in an animal model of OP exposure.

Organophosphorus compounds are highly toxic irreversible inhibitors of cholinesterases, causing the disruption of cholinergic functions. Treatment of poisoning includes causal antidotes (oximes) used as reactivators of inhibited cholinesterases, such as pralidoxime. In this work, new halogenated oxime reactivators derived from pralidoxime were developed.

Mono-quaternary pyridinium oximes derived from K-oximes K027, K048 and K203 were designed, synthesized and evaluated for the reactivation of organophosphate-inhibited cholinesterases. The incorporation of the halogen atoms to the structure decreased the pK value of the oxime group resulting in an increased formation of oximate necessary for reactivation. The stability and pK values were found to be similar to analogous bis-quaternary compounds.

Article Synopsis
- The insecticide chlorpyrifos (CP) inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to neurological issues and affecting organ functions across the body.
- This study assessed various oxime compounds as potential reactivators of AChE to combat CP’s harmful effects, using a new model organism to address ethical concerns in drug screening.
- Results showed that oximes, particularly pralidoxime and K048, effectively reactivated AChE, improved locomotor function, and reduced mortality in CP-exposed organisms, suggesting promising new therapeutic options for AChE-related disorders.
HI-6-Loaded Vehicle of Liposomes Mediated by an Amphiphilic Pillar[5]arene against Paraoxon Poisoning.

Article Synopsis
- Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is a growing global health issue, and effective treatment requires the delivery of specific reactivators to the brain.
- Researchers developed a novel amphiphilic hydrazide-pillar[5]arene (HP5A-6C) that integrates into liposomal structures for targeted brain delivery, with the ability to remain stable for up to 6 weeks.
- When tested, these liposomes loaded with HI-6 showed a 60% increase in survival rates and significant alleviation of seizures and brain damage in mice poisoned with paraoxon (POX).
Unwashed grapes as a cause of organophosphate poisoning in a child in rural India.

This report describes the symptoms of pesticide poisoning in a previously healthy teenage girl. After consuming unwashed grapes for several days, the girl developed the following symptoms: drowsiness, vomiting, truncal weakness and fasciculations in the tongue and hands. Blood tests confirmed exposure to a small amount of the organophosphate (OP) compound, a type of chemical found in certain pesticides.
