Actions and interactions of cholinolytics and cholinesterase reactivators in the treatment of acute organophosphorus toxicity.
    Drug and chemical toxicology, 1991, Volume: 14, Issue:3

    Different drug combinations consisting of cholinolytic and a cholinesterase (ChE) reactivator provide greater therapeutic efficacy in acute organophosphorus (OP) poisoning in mice than when used alone. Maximum protection, as determined by a shift of the LD50 for the two OP agents, was observed with the cholinolytic benactyzine. A protection index (P.I.) of 42 was obtained when benactyzine was given along with obidoxime in diisopropylphosphorofluoridate (DFP) intoxication. With the more toxic OP agent soman (o-pinacolylmethylphosphonofluoridate), the same cholinolytic only offered a maximum P.I. of 3.2 when administered with HS-6, another bispyridinium ChE reactivator. This beneficial effect of benactyzine is possibly due to its greater antimuscarinic effect in the central nervous system than atropine or dexetimide.

Therapeutic effects of HS-3, HS-6, benactyzine, and atropine in soman poisoning of dogs.
    Archives of toxicology, 1976, Sep-15, Volume: 36, Issue:1

    Investigations into the therapeutic properties of various combinations of the bispyridinium salts HS-3 and HS-6 and the cholinolytics atropine and benactyzine against soman poisoning in unanesthetized male beagles were performed. In our investigations we observed that: 1. The most effective protection against soman poisoning was attained if both oximes were applied early i.m. 6 min after intoxication together with the cholinolytics. 2. On the basis of clinical symptoms HS-6 proved to have a more intensive therapeutic effect than HS-3 upon early application. 3. If HS-3 was applied early after s.c. intoxication with low concentrations of soman (up to 3 LD50), a significant protection or reactivation effect on serium cholinesterase was measured. 4. When HS-3 was applied at the beginning of convulsions--generally 28 min after s.c. intoxication--it also raised the rate of surviving animals. 5. The maximal blood levels for HS-3 and HS-6 were measured 20-30 min after i.m. injection; the half-life values of HS-3 and HS-6 in plasma were 45-60 min.
