Abstract

Nine potential AChE reactivators were synthesized using modification of currently known synthetic pathways. Their potency to reactivate AChE inhibited by cyclosarin nerve agent was tested in vitro. According to the previous results, 1,4-bis(2-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)butane dibromide seems to be the most potent AChE reactivator. The reactivation potency of these compounds depends on structural factors such as presence of quaternary nitrogens, length of the linking chain between both pyridinium rings, and position of the oxime moiety at the pyridinium ring.
