    Journal: Toxicol Lett; 1996 Apr; 85(1):35-9. PubMed ID: 8619258.
    Abstract:
    The reaction of human erythrocyte acetylcholinesterase (AChE) with a set of structurally related phosphoramidates was studied in order to investigate the properties of phosphorylated enzyme and the effects of 4 oximes PAM-2, TMB-4, HI-6 and BDB-106 on the reactivation of inhibited AChE. Second-order rate constant of the phosphorylation reaction of the compounds towards the active site of AChE range between 5.0 x 10(2) and 4.9 x 10(6) M-1min-1 and their inhibitory power (I50) was from 7.3 x 10(-5) to 5.7 x 10(-9) M for 20 min incubation at 37 degrees C. The oximes used were weak reactivators of inhibited AChE except for (C4H9O)(NH2)P(O)DCP (DCP, -O-2,5-dichlorphenyl group) and (C6H13O)(NH2)P(O)SCH3 where we have obtained good reactivation. Imidazole oxime BDB-106 proved to be a potent reactivator of tabun-inhibited AChE.
