Obidoxime difluoride（Cat No.:I033775）is a reactivator of acetylcholinesterase, primarily used as an antidote in cases of organophosphate poisoning. It works by binding to and reactivating the inhibited acetylcholinesterase enzyme, which is crucial for breaking down acetylcholine at nerve synapses. This action helps restore normal neuromuscular function and alleviate the toxic effects of acetylcholine buildup. Obidoxime difluoride is commonly used in conjunction with atropine to counteract the life-threatening symptoms caused by nerve agents or certain pesticides. It is typically administered intravenously or intramuscularly, depending on the severity of poisoning.
