Structure-Activity Relations in Organophosphorus Inhibited Acetylcholinesterase Reactivators I: Methiodides of New Mono-and Dioximes with Pyridine Nucleus

A series of methiodides deriving from syn β-pyridyl-α,-β-dihydroxyimino-propioanilides, from β-pyridyl-β-oxo-α-hydroxyimino-propioanilides showing the hydroxyimino group in the two possible configurations and from anti β-pyridyl-β-hydroxyimino-propioanilides was prepared. The in vitro acetylcholines...

Description
Summary:A series of methiodides deriving from syn β-pyridyl-α,-β-dihydroxyimino-propioanilides, from β-pyridyl-β-oxo-α-hydroxyimino-propioanilides showing the hydroxyimino group in the two possible configurations and from anti β-pyridyl-β-hydroxyimino-propioanilides was prepared. The in vitro acetylcholinesterase-reactivating activity of the new compounds was evaluated. The results show that the β-hydroxyimino group contributes very little to the reactivation, probably because it is held by the amide group through a hydrogen bond; in fact, the β-monoximes are nearly inactive. Therefore the activity of the dioximes should be ascribed to the α-hydroxyimino group.
