In efficacy testing of experimental oximes, traditionally reactivation of OP-inhibited acethylcholinesterase (AChE) has been analysed by comparing the obtained effects of the single dose with the control [1]. However, quantitative analysis of in vivo dose-response data by benchmark dose (BMD) approach would improve both identification and quantification of the effect and it will allow more rigorous comparison of different oximes efficacies [2]. Thus, we have evaluated in vivo dose-response relationship for two promising experimental oximes, K203 and K027, concerning reactivation of diaphragmal AChE inhibited by dichlorvos (DDVP). To compare the oximes effects, BMD-covariate method was used to estimate oxime dose (with 90% confidence intervals) that elicits a pre-specified effect size of 50% (1.5-fold increase in AChE activity compared to DDVP-treated group). Wistar rats (5/group) were treated with oxime (0/1.25/2.5/5/25/50% LD50 im) immediately after DDVP challenge (75% LD50 sc). Activity of AChE was measured in rat diaphragm homogenates by modified Ellman´s method 60 min after the treatment. Dose-response modeling was done by PROAST software (version 65.5, RIVM, Nederlands). Exponential model m5-ab (y=a[c-(c-1)exp(-bxd)]) was selected as best estimate with parameters: aK203=0.1525, aK027=0.1498, bK203=0.008472, bK027=0.03941, c=2.117 and d=0.8916. Derived BMD50 were K203=117 (56, 209) and K027=21 (10, 37) µmol/kg bw, indicating that oxime K027 induces the same effect size with 5.5-times lower dose compared to oxime K203. Moreover, obtained confidence intervals of BMDs did not overlap allowing the conclusion that more potent dose-response relationship belongs to experimental oxime K027.
