HI-6 exhibits superior efficacy in the therapy of intoxication by different highly toxic organophosphorus nerve agents. Therefore HI-6 is a promising candidate for the development of new antidotes against nerve agents. For ethical and safety reasons antidotes containing HI-6 should

Nerve agents irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to cholinergic crisis and death at acute exposure levels. The complexity, delayed onset, and persistent nature of nerve agent induced CNS effects need to be elucidated to block their multiple effects. In the

Post-exposure nerve agent treatment usually includes administration of an oxime, which acts to restore function of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). For immediate treatment of military personnel, this is usually administered with an autoinjector device, or devices containing the oxime such

The novel prophylactic agent 7-methoxytacrine-4-pyridinealdoxime is a hybrid compound formerly designed to keep acetylcholinesterase resistant to organophosphates by reactivating it in case of intoxication by such inhibitors. In rational design, a 5-carbon length-spacer hybrid compound was synthesized to evaluate its
