Three oximes currently being evaluated for adoption as replacement nerve agent therapy by various countries were compared for therapeutic efficacy against the toxic organophosphate inhibitors soman and tabun under a standard set of conditions. These oximes together with PAM-Cl and toxogonin, were also compared for efficacy against GF, an agent weaponized by Iraq. The order of effectiveness against soman was HI-6 greater than HLö-7 greater than pyrimidoxime. HLö-7 was very effective against tabun poisoning while HI-6 and pyrimidoxime were of moderate value. Against GF, HI-6 and HLö-7 were extremely effective, toxogonin was moderately effective, and PAM-Cl and pyrimidoxime were the least effective. HI-6 provided a high level of protection against all of the agents tested as did HLö-7 to a slightly lesser degree. The other oximes suffered from their lack of effects against one or more of the organophosphates.
