Six unsymmetrical bis-quaternary monooximes viz. dibromides of 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethyl pyridinium)-3-(3/4-carbamoyl pyridinium)propane, 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethyl pyridinium)-4-(3/4-carbamoyl pyridinium) butane, 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethyl pyridinium)-5-(3/4-carbamoyl pyridinium)pentane were synthesized and characterized by spectral data. Their ability to reactivate tetraethyl pyrophosphate inhibited mouse total brain cholinesterase was investigated and compared with 2-pyridine aldoxime chloride (2-PAM). All the compounds were found to be more effective acetylcholinesterase reactivators when compared with the conventional oxime, 2-PAM, except the compound (5a) with pentylene bridge and carbamoyl group present at fourth position. The bis-pyridinium monooximes with 3-carbamoyl group were more potent reactivators than the corresponding 4-carbamoyl compounds and bis-oximes tested.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D002800 Cholinesterase Inhibitors Drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. The neurotransmitter ACETYLCHOLINE is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. When cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system.
