MedKoo Cat#: 575065 | Name: Asoxime mesylate

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Asoxime, also known as HI-6, is an oxime reactivator used for counteracting intoxication by nerve agents. It is able to reactivate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibited by cytotoxic nerve agents such as sarin or soman. AChE is a primary target of organophosphates, which inactivate it by reacting with the active center serine. This prevents the hydrolysis of acetylcholine at peripheral and central synapses. Asoxime reactivates phosphorylated AChE that has been inhibited by exposure to cytotoxic nerve agents.
