Protopam chloride is indicated as an antidote: 1. In the treatment of poisoning due to those pesticides and chemicals (e.g., nerve agents) of the organophosphate class which have anticholinesterase activity and 2. In the control of overdosage by anticholinesterase drugs used in the treatment of myasthenia gravis. The principal indications for the use of Protopam chloride are muscle weakness and respiratory depression. In severe poisoning, respiratory depression may be due to muscle weakness. /Included in US product label/

IM administration of pralidoxime may produce mild pain at the injection site.

Rapid IV injection of pralidoxime has produced tachycardia, laryngospasm, muscle rigidity, and transient neuromuscular blockade; therefore, the drug should be administered slowly, preferably by IV infusion. IV administration of pralidoxime reportedly may also cause hypertension which is related to the dose and rate of infusion. Some clinicians recommend that the patient's blood pressure be monitored during pralidoxime therapy. For adults, IV administration of 5 mg of phentolamine mesylate reportedly quickly reverses pralidoxime-induced hypertension.

Although pralidoxime is generally well-tolerated, dizziness, blurred vision, diplopia and impaired accommodation, headache, drowsiness, nausea, tachycardia, hyperventilation, maculopapular rash, and muscular weakness have been reported following administration of the drug. However, it is difficult to differentiate the toxic effects produced by atropine or organophosphates from those of pralidoxime, and the condition of patients suffering from organophosphate intoxication will generally mask minor signs and symptoms reported in normal subjects who receive pralidoxime. When atropine and pralidoxime are used concomitantly, signs of atropinism may occur earlier than when atropine is used alone, especially if the total dose of atropine is large and administration of pralidoxime is delayed. Excitement, confusion, manic behavior, and muscle rigidity have been reported following recovery of consciousness, but these symptoms have also occurred in patients who were not treated with pralidoxime.

The following precautions should be kept in mind in the treatment of anticholinesterase poisoning, although they do not bear directly on the use of pralidoxime chloride: since barbiturates are potentiated by the anticholinesterases, they should be used cautiously in the treatment of convulsions; morphine, theophylline, aminophylline, reserpine, and phenothiazine-type tranquilizers should be avoided in patients with organophosphate poisoning. Prolonged paralysis has been reported in patients when succinylcholine is given with drugs having anticholinesterase activity; therefore, it should be used with caution.

It is not known if pralidoxime crosses the human placenta to the embryo or fetus. Pralidoxime chloride is a quaternary ammonium compound, but the molecular weight of the free base (about 137) is low enough for passage across the placenta. The rapid elimination of the drug should mitigate this transfer.

The specific mechanism by which the renal tubule handles pralidoxime, a quaternary ammonium compound used to reactivate organophosphate-inhibited cholinesterase, has been studied using 22 subjects. Each subject was placed under certain conditions in the course of the study. All 22 received pralidoxime (5 mg/kg, IV, over a 2-min interval) under conditions of forced hydration and bed rest to serve as controls. Eight subjects received pralidoxime under conditions of forced hydration and bed rest, one time after 36 hr of ammonium chloride acidification, and another time after sodium bicarbonate alkalinization. Nine subjects received pralidoxime under forced dehydration and bed rest, 20-30 min after thiamine (200 mg total, IM), organic base. Eight received pralidoxime under forced hydration and bed rest simultaneously with p-aminohippurate (900 mg total, IV), organic acid. Four received pralidoxime under bed rest, after 8-12 hr of fasting, NPO. The drug is rapidly cleared from the plasma by renal tubular secretion. Reduction of pralidoxime clearance rates and prolongation of the biologic half-life after thiamine administration as compared to those after PAH administration suggest that pralidoxime is secreted as an organic base. Reduction of the excretion of pralidoxime under conditions of both urine alkalinization and urine acidification implicates an active reabsorption of pralidoxime not heretofore described.

The pharmacokinetics of pralidoxime chloride (2-PAM) was studied in rats. Different groups of rats were given an intramuscular injection of 2-PAM at one of three doses (20, 40, or 80 mg/kg). This range of doses is used commonly in studies concerned with the efficacy of 2-PAM against poisoning by potent organophosphorus inhibitors of cholinesterase enzyme. Individual, sequential blood samples were collected during the course of the experiment. From these blood samples the plasma concentrations of 2-PAM were determined over time for each animal. Next the relationship of plasma concentration to time was expressed in terms of a standard pharmacokinetic model. Estimates of various pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated using an open, one-compartment model: volume of distribution (Vd), maximal plasma concentration (Cmax), elimination rate constant (k10), absorption rate constant (k01), area under the curve (AUC) and clearance (CL). Of the pharmacokinetic estimates, only Cmax and AUC were found to be statistically significant (p less than 0.0001) when compared across all the doses; these pharmacokinetic estimates were highly correlated with doses with r = 0.998 and r = 0.997, respectively. However, when AUC and Cmax were normalized by dividing through by dose, no significant differences were found in the transformed data. The results of this study in rat indicate that the pharmacokinetics of 2-PAM is linearly related to dose in a range employed in therapeutic studies of 2-PAM.

BACKGROUND: Current therapies for organophosphate poisoning involve administration of oximes, such as pralidoxime (2-PAM), that reactivate the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. Studies in animal models have shown a low concentration in the brain following systemic injection. METHODS: To assess 2-PAM transport, we studied transwell permeability in three Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCKII) cell lines and stem cell-derived human brain microvascular endothelial cells (BC1-hBMECs). To determine whether 2-PAM is a substrate for common brain efflux pumps, experiments were performed in the MDCKII-MDR1 cell line, transfected to overexpress the P-gp efflux pump, and the MDCKII-FLuc-ABCG2 cell line, transfected to overexpress the BCRP efflux pump. To determine how transcellular transport influences enzyme reactivation, we developed a modified transwell assay where the inhibited acetylcholinesterase enzyme, substrate, and reporter are introduced into the basolateral chamber. Enzymatic activity was inhibited using paraoxon and parathion. RESULTS: The permeability of 2-PAM is about 2 x 10(-6) cm/s in MDCK cells and about 1 x 10(-6) cm/s in BC1-hBMECs. Permeability is not influenced by pre-treatment with atropine. In addition, 2-PAM is not a substrate for the P-gp or BCRP efflux pumps. CONCLUSIONS: The low permeability explains poor brain penetration of 2-PAM and therefore the slow enzyme reactivation. This elucidates one of the reasons for the necessity of sustained intravascular (IV) infusion in response to organophosphate poisoning.

Although the exact metabolic fate of pralidoxime has not been completely elucidated, the drug is believed to be metabolized in the liver. ... A recent study has suggested that active tubular secretion may be involved, although the specific mechanism has not been identified.

There is a trend towards increasing doses of pralidoxime to treat human organophosphate poisonings that may have relevance in subpopulations. Indeed, pralidoxime is eliminated unchanged by the renal route. This study assesses the effect of renal failure on the kinetics of pralidoxime in a rat model of acute renal failure induced by potassium dichromate administration. On the first day, Sprague-Dawley rats received subcutaneously potassium dichromate (study) or saline (control). Forty-eight hours post-injection, animals received pralidoxime methylsulfate (50 mg/kg of pralidoxime base) intramuscularly. Blood specimens were sampled during 180 min after the injection. Urine was collected daily during the 3 days of the study. Plasma pralidoxime concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. There was a 2-fold increase in mean elimination half-life and a 2.5-fold increase in mean area under the curve in the study compared to the control group. The mean total body clearance was halved in the study compared to the control group. Our study showed acute renal failure does not modify the distribution of pralidoxime but significantly alters its elimination from plasma. These results suggest that dosages of pralidoxime should be adjusted in organophosphate-poisoned humans with renal failure when using high dosage regimen of pralidoxime.
Kayouka M et al; Toxicol Lett 184 (1): 61-6 (2009)
The half-life of pralidoxime in patients with normal renal function varies and has been reported to range from 0.8-2.7 hours.

Other reported pharmacologic effects of pralidoxime include depolarization at the neuromuscular junction, anticholinergic action, mild inhibition of cholinesterase, sympathomimetic effects, potentiation of the depressor action of acetylcholine in nonatropinized animals, and potentiation of the pressor action of acetylcholine in atropinized animals. However, the contribution of these effects to the therapeutic action of the drug has not been established.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists; Drug Information 2018. Bethesda, MD. 2018, p. 3595
The principal pharmacologic effect of pralidoxime is reactivation of cholinesterase which has been recently inactivated by phosphorylation as the result of exposure to certain organophosphates. Pralidoxime removes the phosphoryl group from the active site of the inhibited enzyme by nucleophilic attack, regenerating active cholinesterase and forming an oxime complex. Pralidoxime also detoxifies certain organophosphates by direct chemical reaction and probably also reacts directly with cholinesterase to protect it from inhibition. Pralidoxime must be administered before aging of the inhibited enzyme occurs; after aging is completed, phosphorylated cholinesterase cannot be reactivated, and newly synthesized cholinesterase must replace the inhibited enzyme. Pralidoxime is not equally antagonistic to all anticholinesterases, partly because the time period required for aging of the inhibited enzyme varies and depends on the specific organophosphate bound to the cholinesterase.
