Permethrin was the most potent inhibitor affecting calmodulin and, to a lesser extent, phosphodiesterase.

Previous work demonstrated increases in the expression of Ca (2+)/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase 1-gamma (Camk1g) mRNA following acute deltamethrin and permethrin exposure.

The type II pyrethroid insecticides cis-cypermethrin (c-Cyp), trans-cypermethrin, deltamethrin (Delt), and fenvalerate A alpha (Fen), as well as the type I pyrethroid insecticides cis- and trans-permethrin and S-bioallethrin, were unable to inhibit the phosphatase activity of purified calcineurin under conditions of maximal activation by Ca2+ and calmodulin.

Effects of two classes of pyrethroids, permethrin and resmethrin (type I), cypermethrin and deltamethrin (type II), on basal (calmodulin-deficient) and calmodulin stimulated activities of Ca2+ ATPase and adenylate cyclase from rat brain were studied in vitro.

Synthetic pyrethroid insecticide permethrin significantly decreased the levels of regulatory proteins (S-100 and calmodulin) in the developing CNS of tadpoles of R. cyanophlictis.

The short-circuit current value (estimate of ion transport) was increased by each of the eight pyrethroids tested, with the following order of potency: lambda-cyhalothrin > deltamethrin > alpha-cypermethrin = beta-cyfluthrin > bioallethrin > permethrin > bioresmethrin > phenothrin.
Finally, the stimulation by pyrethroids was inhibited by indomethacin and W7 (inhibitors of cyclooxygenases and the Ca2+/calmodulin system, respectively).
