Evaluation of oxime K203 as antidote in tabun poisoning
Original language description
We studied bispyridinium oxime K203 with tabun-inhibited human AChE and BChE in vitro, and its antidotal effect on tabun-poisoned mice and rats in vivo. We compared it with oximes K048 and TMB-4, which have proven the most efficient oxime antidotes in tabun poisoning by now. Tabun-inhibited AChE was completely reactivated by K203, with the overall reactivation rate constant of 1806 L mol(-1) min(-1). This means that K203 is a very potent reactivator of tabun-inhibited AChE. In addition, K203 reversiblyinhibited AChE (Ki = 0.090 mmol L(-1)) and BChE (K(i) = 0.91 mmol L(-1)), and exhibited its protective effect against phosphorylation of AChE by tabun in vitro. In vivo, a quarter of the LD50 K203 dose insured survival of all mice after the application of as many as 8 LD50 doses of tabun, which is the highest dosage obtained compared to K048 and TMB-4. This therapeutic improvement obtained by K203 in tabun-poisoning places this oxime in the spotlight for further development.
