Four types of commercially available fibres (i.e., 50/30 lm divinylbenzene/carboxen/polydimethylsiloxane (DVB/CAR/PDMS), 65 lm polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB), 100 lm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and 85 lm polyacrylate (PA)) were evaluated. PA fibre exhibited the best performance and was used for the rest of the studies. The optimised extraction conditions were: extraction time, 30 min at room temperature; stirring speed, 1275 rpm; salt content, 10% NaCl; desorption time and temper- ature, 11 min at 260 °C; and no pH adjustment of the sample extract. The method was validated over the range 0.1–100 lg/L.

  • The Benefit of Combinations of Oximes for the Ability of Antidotal Treatment
    Caisberger et al. BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology (2018) 19:35 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40360-018-0227-0 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The benefit of combinations of oximes for the ability of antidotal treatment to counteract sarin-induced brain damage in rats Filip Caisberger1, Jaroslav Pejchal2, Jan Misik2, Jiri Kassa2, Martin Valis1 and Kamil Kuca3,4* Abstract Background: The aim of our study was to compare the ability of two combinations of oximes (HI-6 + trimedoxime and HI-6 + K203) with atropine to counteract acute sarin-induced brain damage with the efficacy of antidotal treatment involving single oxime (HI-6) and atropin using in vivo methods. Methods: Brain damage and neuroprotective effects of antidotal treatment were evaluated in rats poisoned with sarin at a sublethal dose (108 μg/kg i.m.; 90% LD50) using histopathological, Fluoro-Jade B and Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) analysis 24 h after sarin administration. Results: Both combinations of oximes reduce the number of rats that died before the end of experiment compared to non-treated sarin poisoning and sarin poisoning treated with HI-6 and atropine. In the case of treatment of sarin poisoning with HI-6 in combination with K203, all rats survived till the end of experiment. HI-6 with atropine was able to reduce sarin-induced brain damage, however, both combinations were slightly more effective. Conclusions: The oxime HI-6 in combination with K203 and atropine seems to be the most effective. Thus, both tested oxime combinations bring a small benefit in elimination of acute sarin-induced brain damage compared to single oxime antidotal therapy.

Five molecular descriptors (molecular volume, Henry's law constant, n-octanol/water partition coeffi- cient (KO,), molecular connectivity, and linear solvation energy) were used in regression analysis as potential predictors of insecticidal activity. The regressions were conducted for each descriptor against toxicity values for the series of chemicals. Molecular volume and Henry's law constant showed no relationship with toxicity. However, log KO, was moderately successful in describing the effect of sediment on toxicity (r2 = 0.508). Predic- tion of toxicity was substantially improved when a linear solvation energy (LSE) or molecular con- nectivity (MC) model was used in regressions. In multiple regressions conducted on carbamates and OPs separately, use of MC or LSE parameters explained up to 95.8% of the variability in toxicity. Based on the results of regression analyses, sorptive interactions between these insecticides and sed- iment apparently dominate the processes affecting the toxicity of these compounds when sediment is present.

  • View Is Primarily on Addressing the Issues of Non-Permanently Charged Reactivators and the Development of Treatments for Aged Ache
    Design, Synthesis, and Evaluation of Therapeutics for the Treatment of Organophosphorus Poisoning by Nerve Agents and Pesticides Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Andrew Joseph Franjesevic Graduate Program in Chemistry The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee Professor Christopher M. Hadad, Advisor Professor Thomas J. Magliery Professor David Nagib Professor Jonathan R. Parquette Copyrighted by Andrew Joseph Franjesevic 2019 2 Abstract Organophosphorus (OP) compounds, both pesticides and nerve agents, are some of the most lethal compounds known to man. Although highly regulated for both military and agricultural use in Western societies, these compounds have been implicated in hundreds of thousands of deaths annually, whether by accidental or intentional exposure through agricultural or terrorist uses. OP compounds inhibit the function of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and AChE is responsible for the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh), and it is extremely well evolved for the task. Inhibition of AChE rapidly leads to accumulation of ACh in the synaptic junctions, resulting in a cholinergic crisis which, without intervention, leads to death. Approximately 70-80 years of research in the development, treatment, and understanding of OP compounds has resulted in only a handful of effective (and approved) therapeutics for the treatment of OP exposure. The search for more effective therapeutics is limited by at least three major problems: (1) there are no broad scope reactivators of OP-inhibited AChE; (2) current therapeutics are permanently positively charged and cannot cross the blood-brain barrier efficiently; and (3) current therapeutics are ineffective at treating the aged, or dealkylated, form of AChE that forms following inhibition of of AChE by various OPs.
