Oximes are enzyme reactivators used in treating poisoning with organophosphorus cholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. The oxime dose which can be safely administered is limited by the intrinsic toxicity of the substances such as their own AChE-inhibiting tendency. Clinical experience with the available

Metoclopramide (MCP) is a dopamine receptor antagonist and serotonin receptor agonist widely used as an antiemetic and gastric prokinetic drug. In addition, MCP is a reversible inhibitor of cholinesterases from the human central nervous system and blood, and may have a red blood cell (RBC) acetylcho
Oximes are cholinesterase reactivators of use in poisoning with organophosphorus compounds. Pralidoxime (PRX) is used clinically as an adjunct to atropine in such exposure. Clinical experience with PRX (and other oximes) is, however, disappointing and routine use has been questioned. In addition it
## Abstract Intoxication with the organophosphorus compound paraoxon (POX), an inhibitor of serine hydrolases, is frequent. Although oximes are the only enzyme reactivators presently available, clinical experience with their use was rather disappointing. Recent work has shown that under certain con
The potency of currently used oximes to reactivate sarin-inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in various parts of pig brain and whole pig brain was evaluated using in vitro methods. Significant differences in reactivation potency among all tested oximes were observed. At concentrations (10 - ----4
Carnitine is bound by intact red blood cells, by red blood cell ghosts, and by glutaraldehyde-fixed human erythrocytes in a non-saturable, temperaturedependent manner. Binding of carnitine by these preparations is blocked by sulfhydryl reagents. Incubation or preincubation of red blood cell preparat
