| Abstract : Poisoning by organophosphorus agents (OPs) is a serious public health issue across the world. These compounds irreversibly inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE), resulting in the accumulation of acetylcholine (ACh) and overstimulation of ACh receptors. A supramolecular detoxification system (SDS) has been designed with a view to deliver pyridine-2-aldoxime methochloride (PAM) with a synergistic inhibition effect on the ACh-induced hyperstimulation through host-guest encapsulation. NMR and fluorescence titration served to confirm the complexation between carboxylatopillar[6]arene (CP6A) and PAM as well as ACh with robust affinities. Patch-clamp studies proved that CP6A could exert an inhibition effect on the ACh-induced hyperstimulation of ACh receptors. Support for the feasibility of this strategy came from fluorescence imaging results. In vivo studies revealed that complexation by CP6A serves to increase the AChE reactivation efficiency of PAM. The formation of the PAM/CP6A complex contributed to enhance in a statistically significant way the ability of PAM not only to relieve symptoms of seizures but also to improve the survival ratio in paraoxon-poisoned model rats. These favorable findings are attributed to synergistic effects that PAM reactivates AChE to hydrolyze ACh and excess ACh is encapsulated in the cavity of CP6A to relieve cholinergic crisis symptoms. |
