Carbamates of (hydroxyphenoxy)methyl heteroaromatic salts as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and protective agents against organophosphorus compounds.
A series of N,N-dimethylcarbamates of 2-[(2'-, 3'-, and 4'-hydroxyphenoxy)methyl] heteroaromatic salts has been prepared. Pyridine, imidazole, quinoline, benzimidazole, and imidazo-[1,2-alpha]pyridine derivatives were included. Most of the compounds are inhibitors of electric eel acetylcholinesterase and also show prophylactic activity toward a 2LD50 dose of soman in mice.
