Abstract
Organophosphorus Compounds (OPCs) are used as pesticides to control pest, as
chemical weapons in military conflict and unfortunately in the terrorist attack. These compounds
are irreversible inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase, resulting in the accumulation of
acetylcholine that leads to severe health complications which may be ended with the death of
the victim. Current antidotes used for reactivation of organophosphorus inhibited acetylcholinesterase
(OP-AChE) are not able to cross the blood-brain barrier efficiently, therefore being
incapable to reactivate OP-AChE of the central nervous system. Due to limitations with
current antidotes, there is an urgent need for new effective antidotes that could be included in
the treatment regimen of OP poisoning. In this direction, comprehensive work has been done
to improve the permeability of existing antidotes using a variety of strategies that include
synthesis of oxime bonded to peripheral site binding moiety via an alkyl, aryl, or heteroatom-containing linker, synthesis
of sugar oximes, and prodrug of 2-PAM, incorporating fluorine and chlorine in the structure of charged oximes.
Other classes of compounds such as the mannich base, N-substituted hydroxyimino acetamide, alkylating
agents, have been investigated for reactivation of OP-AChE. This review comprises the development of various
classes of reactivators with the aim of either enhancing blood-brain permeability of existing antidotes or discovering
a new class of reactivators.

Norris EJ, Gross AD, Bartholomay LC, Coats JR. Plant essential oils synergize various pyrethroid insecticides and antagonize malathion in Aedes aegypti. MEDICAL AND VETERINARY ENTOMOLOGY 2019; 33:453-466. [PMID: 31102301 PMCID: PMC6899815 DOI: 10.1111/mve.12380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2018] [Revised: 04/10/2019] [Accepted: 04/15/2019] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Pyrethroid resistance is a significant threat to agricultural, urban and public health pest control activities. Because economic incentives for the production of novel active ingredients for the control of public health pests are lacking, this field is particularly affected by the potential failure of pyrethroid-based insecticides brought about by increasing pyrethroid resistance. As a result, innovative approaches are desperately needed to overcome insecticide resistance, particularly in mosquitoes that transmit deadly and debilitating pathogens. Numerous studies have demonstrated the potential of plant essential oils to enhance the efficacy of pyrethroids. The toxicity of pyrethroids combined with plant oils is significantly greater than the baseline toxicity of either oils or pyrethroids applied alone, which suggests there are synergistic interactions between components of these mixtures. The present study examined the potential of eight plant essential oils applied in one of two concentrations (1% and 5%) to enhance the toxicity of various pyrethroids (permethrin, natural pyrethrins, deltamethrin and β-cyfluthrin). The various plant essential oils enhanced the pyrethroids to differing degrees. The levels of enhancement provided by combinations of plant essential oils and pyrethroids in comparison with pyrethroids alone were calculated and synergistic outcomes characterized. Numerous plant essential oils significantly synergized a variety of pyrethroids; type I pyrethroids were synergized to a greater degree than type II pyrethroids. Eight plant essential oils significantly enhanced 24-h mortality rates provided by permethrin and six plant essential oils enhanced 24-h mortality rates obtained with natural pyrethrins. By contrast, only three plant essential plants significantly enhanced the toxicity of deltamethrin and β-cyfluthrin. Of the plant essential oils that enhanced the toxicity of these pyrethroids, some produced varying levels of synergism and antagonism. Geranium, patchouli and Texas cedarwood oils produced the highest levels of synergism, displaying co-toxicity factors of > 100 in some combinations. To assess the levels of enhancement and synergism of other classes of insecticide, malathion was also applied in combination with the plant oils. Significant antagonism was provided by a majority of the plant essential oils applied in combination with this insecticide, which suggests that plant essential oils may act to inhibit the oxidative activation processes within exposed adult mosquitoes.

Effect of different oximes on rat and human cholinesterases inhibited by methamidophos: a comparative in vitro and in silico study. Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol 2012; 111:362-70. [PMID: 22703537 DOI: 10.1111/j.1742-7843.2012.00912.x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2011] [Accepted: 05/25/2012] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Methamidophos is one of the most toxic organophosphorus (OP) compounds. It acts via phosphorylation of a serine residue in the active site of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), leading to enzyme inactivation. Different oximes have been developed to reverse this inhibition. Thus, our work aimed to test the protective or reactivation capability of pralidoxime and obidoxime, as well as two new oximes synthesised in our laboratory, on human and rat cholinesterases inhibited by methamidophos. In addition, we performed molecular docking studies in non-aged methamidophos-inhibited AChE to understand the mechanisms involved. Our results suggested that pralidoxime protected and reactivated methamidophos-inhibited rat brain AChE. Regarding human erythrocyte AChE, all oximes tested protected and reactivated the enzyme, with the best reactivation index observed at the concentration of 50 μM. Concerning BChE, butane-2,3-dionethiosemicarbazone oxime (oxime 1) was able to protect and reactivate the methamidophos-inhibited BChE by 45% at 50 μM, whereas 2(3-(phenylhydrazono)butan-2-one oxime (oxime 2) reactivated 28% of BChE activity at 100 μM. The two classical oximes failed to reactivate BChE. The molecular docking study demonstrated that pralidoxime appears to be better positioned in the active site to attack the O-P moiety of the inhibited enzyme, being near the oxyanion hole, whereas our new oximes were stably positioned in the active site in a manner similar to that of obidoxime. In conclusion, our work demonstrated that the newly synthesised oximes were able to reactivate not only human erythrocyte AChE but also human plasma BChE, which could represent an advantage in the treatment of OP compounds poisoning.
