Recent events involving nerve agents of the A-Series, a once elusive class of chemical warfare agents, have provoked a great concern in the international community. In this paper, continuing our research efforts in Medicinal Chemistry at the Brazilian Institute of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (IDQBRN) (an OPCW-designated Laboratory for environmental samples), we explore ANMP, an A-230 surrogate, in the search for new treatment options for intoxications caused by these chemicals. Five isatin-pyridine oxime hybrids were evaluated as acetylcholinesterase (AChE) reactivators using a modified Ellman's assay. Our results indicate that monocationic hybrids with five methylene units, as well as its oxa-analog, are promising compounds for the design of new AChE reactivators.

Organophosphorus poisoning caused by some pesticides and nerve agents is a life-threating condition that must be swiftly addressed to avoid casualties. Despite the availability of medical countermeasures, the clinically available compounds lack a broad spectrum, are not effective towards all organophosphorus toxins, and have poor pharmacokinetics properties to allow them crossing the blood-brain barrier, hampering cholinesterase reactivation at the central nervous system. In this work, we designed and synthesised novel isatin derivatives, linked to a pyridinium 4-oxime moiety by an alkyl chain with improved calculated properties, and tested their reactivation potency against paraoxon- and NEMP-inhibited acetylcholinesterase in comparison to the standard antidote pralidoxime.
