摘要

Sustained effort has been dedicated to the development of novel cholinesterase reactivators—the only causal antidotes—to counter organophosphorus (OP) intoxication. As more lethal nerve agents—such as A-agents—continue to emerge, the existing arsenal of causal antidotes remains unchanged. Approved oxime reactivators—2-PAM, HI-6, and LüH-6—are restricted by their limited efficacy spectrum, poor blood–brain barrier permeability, and suboptimal pharmacokinetics. The objective of this study is to design, synthesize, and characterize a new class of asymmetric monoquaternary bisoxime reactivators with broad-spectrum reactivation potential, favorable pharmacokinetics, and dual mechanisms of action—cholinesterase reactivation and direct OP compound degradation. In vitro and in vivo experiments identified LG-1795 as the lead candidate with the broadest OP spectrum. The averaged second-order reactivation constant (kr2) across five hAChE–OP and two hBChE-OP complexes was 16.8 mM−1 min−1, surpassing clinical standards. Notably, LG-1795 reactivated both AChE and BChE, a dual activity not previously reported for reactivators. In vivo, LG-1795 restored both cholinesterase enzymes and demonstrated prophylactic efficacy against GB, VX, and PXE following intramuscular administration, preventing symptoms in sarin-poisoned animals. These findings represent a significant advance in antidotal therapy, providing the first evidence that asymmetric monoquaternary bisoximes deliver broad-spectrum efficacy against nerve agents and pesticides while simultaneously targeting both OP-inhibited cholinesterases. The translational potential of LG-1795 supports its further preclinical development as a next-generation countermeasure for both clinical and regulatory use in chemical defense.
