Abstract
Bis-pyridinium oximes connected by xylene linkers were synthesised and their in-vitro reactivation efficacy was evaluated for DFP inhibited AChE. The reactivation efficacy data were compared with those of 2-PAM and obidoxime. However, it was observed that none of these oximes were able to surpass the reactivation efficacy of 2-PAM and obidoxime in reactivating DFP inhibited AChE. 2-PAM and obidoxime respectively exhibited52 per cent and 43 per cent reactivation of DFP inhibited AChE, where as the synthesised oximes 3a, 3d, and 3f showed 37 per cent, 30 per cent, and 31 per cent reactivation, respectively within 10 min at 10-3 M.
