[Trial of cholinesterase reactivators as proserine antagonists].

HI-6 and TMB-4 were the most effective and safe of 7 cholinesterase reactivators tested as agents for the prophylaxis of proserine poisoning of male mice. The reactivator HI-6 strongly potentiated the prophylactic efficacy of a mixture of atropine and arpenal administered in the doses sufficient for the blockade of both the m- and h-cholinoreactive systems of mice. As demonstrated by experiments in vitro, HI-6 and TMB-4 did not reacivate proserine-inhibited cholinesterase. The natural anticholinesterase activity of HI-6 was negligible. Based on the correlation of the data obtained to the reported data indicating that HI-6 has a low ganglioblocking activity it is inferred that the direct effect on the receptor is of no importance for the potentiating effect. It is assumed that HI-6 modulates the cholinoreactive systems, which leads to a dramatic increase of the efficacy of cholinolytics.

Behavioral toxicological assessment of oral pralidoxime methanesulfonate in the rat.

The behavioral toxicity of pralidoxime methanesulfonate (P2S) was examined in the rat by comparing standard measures such as conditioned taste aversion (CTA), drinking behavior and acute oral toxicity. P2S produced a weak CTA at doses of 0.4 and 0.8 g/kg (PO) and a profound CTA at the highest dose (1.6 g/kg) using a single sucrose-flavored conditioning trial with a one bottle test. The CTA produced by the highest dose of P2S was blocked by a specific, and exclusively peripheral, histamine-H2blocker, cimetidine (30 mg/kg, IP), which also has a cytoprotecting effect on gastric mucosal lesions. These data suggest that the H2 receptors may be involved in inducing the aversive effects of P2S through the inherent local irritating property of P2S on the rat gastric mucosa. There was no disruption of water drinking in thirsty rats with P2S at doses ranging from 0.2 to 1.6 g/kg. The survival time after an acute oral lethal dose of P2S (8-15 g/kg) was prolonged in non-fasted rats (16.5-38.5 min) compared to fasted ones (3.5-14.5 min), however the LD50's were identical (8.7 +/- 1.0 and 7.5 +/- 0.5 g/kg; respectively); indicating that P2S taken with food delays the lethal effects, but does not affect its lethal potency.
