Abstract
The effects of both carboxylesterase reactivator, diacetylmonoxime(DAM) and cholinesterase reactivator, HI 6 on the disappearance of soman from blood in rats intoxicated with soman(415 μg·kg -1 ,5 LD 50 ,iv) were studied using electric eel acetylcholinesterase based microassay. In rats pretreated with DAM the soman concentration was significantly reduced during 3-10 min, which might be partly due to its reactivation of carboxylesterase in detoxifying organs, and thereby increased efficacy of endogenous detoxifying enzymes. By contrast, HI 6 had negligible effects on soman clearance from blood in rats. It suggests that carboxylesterase is more important than cholinesterase in soman detoxification in rats.
