Autocatalytic Degradation and Stability of Obidoxime

Abstract: The degradation of obidoxime chloride (toxogonin), a reactivator of inhibited cholinesterase in organophosphorus poisoning, in concentrated (250 mg mL(-1)) acidic solutions was studied by HPLC at several temperatures to determine the degradation mechanism. The degradation had an autocatalytic profile, which was found to result from the formation of formaldehyde during the degradation process. The activation energy of the hydrolysis was 26.2 kcal mol(-1). The shelf-life (t90, the time by which 10% of the drug h… Show more

“…We were able to describe the turnover of MDO by hydrolysis X MDO versus time t in all cases well by X normalM normalD normalO = a ( e c 0 k H t 1 ) a normale c 0 k normalH t + 1 where a represents the quotient of 4-HBA to MDO, c 0 represents the starting concentration of MDO, and k H represents the rate coefficient of hydrolysis. The formula is a logistic function and describes a limited growth; corresponding expressions have been used in the literature to describe autocatalytic reactions. , …”

“…Although the chemical stability of monocomponent parenteral formulations containing pralidoxime [ 9 , 10 ], obidoxime [ 11 ], atropine [ 12 ], and midazolam [ 13 , 14 ] has been reported as stable, the combination of many of them in the same autoinjector formulation has never been explored and may lead to physicochemical interactions and a loss of stability. Apart from drug chemical stability in solution, another crucial point to identify is the drug adsorption within the elastomeric gasket materials used to manufacture the autoinjectors.…”
