For the purpose of developing new oxime reactivators of acetylcholinesterases (AChE) that have been inhibited by organophosphorus agents, emphasis was given to the finding that the lipophilic nature of fluorinated compounds is responsible for their enhanc

Fluoroheterocyclic aldoximes were screened as therapeutic agents for the treatment of anticholinesterase poisoning. 2-Fluoropyridine-3- and -6-aldoxime, and 3-fluoropyridine-2- and -4-aldoxime, were synthesised. Attempts to obtain 3,5,6-trifluoropyridine-2,4-bis(aldoxime) and -2-aldoxime, however, proved unsuccessful. Pentafluorobenzaldoxime was prepared by oximation of pentafluorobenzaldehyde. Acid dissociation constants (pKa) and second-order rate constants (kox-) of the fluorinated pyridinealdoximes towards sarin were measured. 2,3,5,6-Tetrafluoropyridine-4- aldoxime had the best profile: its kox- approached that of the therapeutic oxime P2S (310 vs. 120 l mol-1 min-1), but its higher pKa (9.1 vs. 7.8) fell short of the target figure of 8 required for reactivation of inhibited acetylcholinesterase in vivo. N-alkylation of the fluorinated pyridine-aldoximes may reduce their pK a nearer to 8 and enhance their therapeutic potential. Crown Copyright
