Final answer:
The antidote for AChE inhibitors, commonly associated with nerve agent poisoning, is Pralidoxime (2-PAMCI). Atropine is used to manage symptoms, while Pralidoxime reactivates AChE. For atropine poisoning, pilocarpine is used as an antidote.
Step-by-step explanation:
The name of the antidote for acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors is Pralidoxime (2-PAMCI). AChE inhibitors include substances such as nerve agents and certain insecticides, which disrupt the nervous system by causing acetylcholine to build up, leading to overstimulation of nerves. Atropine is used to manage the symptoms of such nerve agent poisoning by acting as an antagonist to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors. However, it is Pralidoxime that reactivates the inhibited enzyme acetylcholinesterase, allowing it to resume its normal function of breaking down acetylcholine. It does this by removing the phosphoryl group attached to the enzyme, thus addressing the root cause of poisoning by nerve agents. For atropine poisoning, the antidote is pilocarpine, a muscarinic agonist, not to be confused with the management of nerve agent poisoning.
