Abstract

Described herein are oxime compounds capable of inactivating a nerve agent, blood brain barrier (BBB)-penetration, and/or reactivation of nerve agent-inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and related methods, systems and compositions for inactivation of one or more nerve agents, therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment of an individual, and/or decomposition of nerve agent for decontamination.

6. The compound of claim 1 , wherein the compound has a pKa between 7 to 9.

7. A method to reactivate a nerve agent inhibited acetylcholinesterase in an individual, the method comprising:

administering to the individual an effective amount of at least one compound of claim 1 for a time and under a condition to allow contact between the at least one compound and a nerve agent inhibited acetylcholinesterase in the individual thus resulting in a reactivated acetylcholinesterase.

8. A method of treating and/or preventing a condition of an individual, the condition associated with exposure of the individual to a nerve agent, the method comprising:

administering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of claim 1 for a time and under a condition to allow contact between the at least one compound and a nervous system of the individual.

9. A method of preventing a condition of an individual, the condition associated with exposure of the individual to a nerve agent, the method comprising:

administering to the individual a therapeutically effective amount of at least one compound of claim 1 capable of inactivating one or more nerve agent, the administering performed for a time and under a condition to allow contact between the at least one compound and a nervous system and/or vascular system of the individual.

10. A method for decontaminating an environment contaminated with at least one nerve agent, the method comprising:

contacting the environment with at least one compound of claim 1 to allow contact of the at least one compound with the at least one nerve agent and inactivation of the at least one nerve agent by the at least one compound.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the nerve agent comprises the compound of Formula (VIII),

wherein Z is O or S,

J is hydrogen, a C1-C6 alkyl group, a methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, or an amino group NR71R72, wherein R71 and R72 are independently a C1 to C4 alkyl or heteroalkyl group,
