In this work a theoretical methodology for evaluation of the association and kinetic reactivation constants of oximes using the Molegro and Spartan softwares was proposed and validated facing in vitro data previously reported in the literature. Results showed a very good agreement between the theoretical binding free energies of the reactivators and experimental data, suggesting that the proposed methodology could work well in the prediction of kinetic and thermodynamics parameters for oximes that might be helpful for the design and selection of new and more effective oximes.

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.
