Abstract
Oximes such as pralidoxime (2-PAM), obidoxime (Obi), and HI-6 are the only currently available therapeutic agents to reactivate inhibited acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in case of intoxications with organophosphorus (OP) compounds. However, each oxime has characteristic agent-dependent reactivating efficacy, and therefore the combined administration of complementary oximes might be a promising approach to improve therapy. Accordingly, a new high-performance liquid chromatography method with diode-array detection (HPLC-DAD) was developed and validated allowing for simultaneous or single quantification of 2-PAM, Obi, and HI-6 in human plasma. Plasma was precipitated using 5% w/v aqueous zinc sulfate solution and subsequently acetonitrile yielding high recoveries of 94.2%-101.0%. An Atlantis T3 column (150 x 2.1mm I.D., 3 mu m) was used for chromatographic separation with a total run time of 15 min. Quantification was possible without interferences within a linear range from 0.12 to 120 mu g/mL for all oximes. Excellent intra-day (accuracy 91.7%-98.6%, precision 0.5%-4.4%) and inter-day characteristics (accuracy 89.4%-97.4%, precision 0.4%-2.2%) as well as good ruggedness were found. Oximes in processed samples were stable for at least 12 h in the autosampler at 15 degrees C as well as in human plasma for at least four freeze-thaw cycles. Finally, the method was applied to plasma samples of a clinical case of pesticide poisoning.
