In alternative embodiments, provided are uncharged bis-oxime antidotes that cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to catalyze the hydrolysis of organophosphate (OP)-inhibited human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) in the central nerve system (CNS). In alternative embodiments, provided are pumps, devices, subcutaneous infusion devices, continuous subcutaneous infusion devices, infusion pens, needles, reservoirs, ampoules, a vial, a syringe, a cartridge, a disposable pen or jet injector, a prefilled pen or a syringe or a cartridge, a cartridge or a disposable pen or jet injector, a two chambered or multi-chambered pump, a syringe, a cartridge or a pen or a jet injector, comprising a compound as provided herein.

Centrally active and orally bioavailable uncharged bisoxime antidotes for organophosphate poisoning and methods for making and using them

In alternative embodiments, the invention provides nucleophilic hydroxyimino-acetamido alkylamine antidotes that cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to catalyze the hydrolysis of organophosphate (OP)-inhibited human acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) in the central nerve system (CNS). The hydroxyimino-acetamido alkylamines of the invention are designed to fit within AChE active center gorge dimensions, bind with reasonable affinity, and react with the conjugated phosphate atom in the gorge. The hydroxyimino-acetamido alkylamines of the invention are also designed to possess ionization states that govern affinity and reactivity for the two linked hAChE re-activation steps. In alternative embodiments, the invention provides pumps, devices, subcutaneous infusion devices, continuous subcutaneous infusion devices, infusion pens, needles, reservoirs, ampoules, a vial, a syringe, a cartridge, a disposable pen or jet injector, a prefilled pen or a syringe or a cartridge, a cartridge or a disposable pen or jet injector, a two chambered or multi-chambered pump, a syringe, a cartridge or a pen or a jet injector, comprising a compound of the invention.

Centrally active and orally bioavailable antidotes for organophosphate exposure and methods for making and using them

Provided are N-alkyl imidazole 2-aldoximes, including cationic imidazolium and uncharged tertiary imidazole aldoximes, and compositions and methods for making and using them, including methods for reactivating human butyrylcholinesterase (hBChE) or acetylcholinesterase (hAChE) inhibited by organophosphate (OP). By administration of a composition of the invention, the inactive or conjugated hBChE-OP or hAChE-OP is reactivated and the catalytic cycle of turnover and inactivation of the OP is completed; and in alternative embodiments, secondary mechanisms of reversible protection of hBChE and hAChE from irreversible inactivation by OPs and reactivation of tissue AChE also contribute to overall efficacy.

Catalytic scavengers of organophosphates to potentiate butyrylcholinesterase (hBChE) as a catalytic bioscavenger and methods for making and using them

Disclosed are methods for the preparation and use of labeled AChE and labeled AChE inhibitory conjugate compositions for detecting accumulation of toxic materials such as organophosphates, insecticides, and other nerve agents. Also disclosed are methods for the use of labeled AChE and labeled AChE inhibitory conjugate compositions in a variety of areas, including the detecting of toxic materials in biological samples, in the area of food and water analysis, in environmental monitoring, and in industrial settings.

Ligand sensing fluorescent acetylcholinesterase for detection of organophosphate activity

Fluorescence based screening assays are provided that allow for the for identification of agents that selectively bind to a ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC) such as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Also provided are methods for identifying agents that selectively bind to a neuronal-type nAChR by detecting binding of the agent to anAChBP, which is representative of a neuronal-type nAChR. In addition, compositions and kits for performing such methods are provided.

Methods for identifying agents that modulate LGIC receptor activity

A method of detoxifying organophosphates using mutant cholinesterase which esists aging. The addition of oximes to the cholinesterase further retards aging of the cholinesterase.
