Abstract:
The efficacy of oxime (HI-6, toxogonin or PAM Cl) therapy against GF (cyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate) poisoning was assessed in mice. It was found that the combinations of atropine and either toxogonin or HI-6 were effective therapies against GF poisoning. PAM therapy was ineffective. HI-6 was the only oxime which reactivated GF inhibited acetylcholinesterase. This might explain the reason why the HI-6 treated mice appeared to recover more quickly from the incapacitating effects following GF poisoning.
