Product Data
Biological target:
Pralidoxime chloride is a potent reactivator of acetylcholinesterase (AChE).
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
In the survival study, 6 (27.2%), 15 (68.1%), and 5 (22.7%) animals survived the entire 24-hour monitoring period in the saline, pralidoxime, and norepinephrine groups, respectively (log-rank test P = 0.006). In the hemodynamic study, pralidoxime but not norepinephrine increased end-diastolic volume (P <0.001), stroke volume (P = 0.002), cardiac output (P = 0.003), mean arterial pressure (P = 0.041), and stroke work (P <0.001). The pressor effect of norepinephrine was short-lived, such that by 60 minutes after the initiation of norepinephrine infusion, it no longer had any significant effect on mean arterial pressure. In addition, norepinephrine significantly increased heart rate (P <0.001) and the ratio of arterial elastance to ventricular end-systolic elastance (P = 0.010), but pralidoxime did not. In conclusion, pralidoxime improved the hemodynamics and 24-hour survival rate in rats with peritonitis-induced sepsis, but norepinephrine did not.
