Product Information

• Name: Pyridine-2-aldoxime
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Pyridine-2-aldoxime is a chemical compound that is used as a pesticide. It is an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, and it can be toxic at low doses. Pyridine-2-aldoxime binds to the active site of acetylcholinesterase and prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine by this enzyme, leading to paralysis of the respiratory muscles. Pyridine-2-aldoxime has been shown to be effective against chronic oral exposure to sarin gas, with lethal dose (LD) values ranging from 0.5–1 mg/kg in rats.
