title: [Reactivation and aging of acetylcholinesterase in human brain inhibited by phoxim and phoxim oxon in vitro].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in human brain caused by phoxim or phoxim oxon, their reactivation with oxime and aging of phosphorylated AChE were studied and compared in vitro.
  
  
  METHODS
  Micro-colorispectrophotometric assay was used to determine the activity of AChE.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The pI(50) of inhibition of AChE in human brain by phoxim and phoxim oxon were 5.39 and 5.77, respectively, whereas the pI(90) were 4.60 and 5.00, respectively. The reactivation rate of 0.1 mmol/L of pralidoxime (2-PAM), obidoxime (LüH(6)), trimedoxime (TMB-4) and pyramidoxime (HI-6) for phoxim-inhibited AChE in human brain was 65%, 97%, 91% and 56%, respectively, and their reactivation rate for phoxim oxon-inhibited AChE in human brain was 97%, 87%, 99% and 89%, respectively. The optimal reactivator for phoxim and phoxim oxon-inhibited AChEs was LüH(6) and TMB-4, respectively. The half aging time of phoxim and phoxim oxon inhibited phosphorylated AChEs were 39 and 28 hours, respectively, and the 99% aging time were 256 and 186 hours, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  LüH(6) or TMB-4 should be used at the earlier as possible after poisoning with phoxim and phoxim oxon, and the reactivator should be consecutively used for more than seven days, even after their acute symptoms have been well controlled.
