Five oximes (K-27, K-33, K-48, BI-6 and methoxime) in comparison with pralidoxime: in vitro reactivation of red blood cell acetyicholinesterase inhibitied by pa raoxon.

The article presents a study which compared the importance of oximes and pralidoxime (PRX) for in vitro reactivation of red blood cell acetylcholinesterase inhibited by paraoxon (POX), a non-neuropathic organophosphate. The study found that the new cholinesterase reactivators are superior to PRX, methoxime and B1-6, K-27 oximes. It discovered the importance of in vivo testing in determining the efficacy of new oximes in treating organophosphorus compounds-induced poisoning.
