Abstract
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.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Toxicology provides up-to-date information on the latest advances in toxicology. The journal places particular emphasis on studies relating to defined effects of chemicals and mechanisms of toxicity, including toxic activities at the molecular level, in humans and experimental animals. Coverage includes new insights into analysis and toxicokinetics and into forensic toxicology. Review articles of general interest to toxicologists are an additional important feature of the journal.
