A series of bis-pyridinium oximes connected by xylene linker were synthesized and their in-vitro reactivation potential was evaluated against acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibited by nerve agent, sarin. Among the synthesized compounds, alpha,alpha'xylene-bis-[3,3'-(hydroxyiminomethyl) pyridinium] dibromide (3b) was found to be most potent reactivator for AChE inhibited by sarin. The oxime 3b exhibits 34% regeneration of inhibited AChE, in comparison to 20 and 15% regeneration by 2-PAM and obidoxime, respectively, at a concentration of 10(-4) M within 10 min.

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.
