While the toxicity in insects of formamidines such as chlordimeform (CDM), its demethylated metabolite DCDM, and amitraz (AMZ) appears to involve activation of an octopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase, their mechanism of action in mammals remains elusive.

Chlordimeform (CDM) and demethylchloridimeform (DCDM) mimic the action of octopamine in elevating adenylate cyclase activity in intact nerve cords of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana.

This binding is reduced by prior incubation with octopamine agonists, including octopamine, demethyl-chlordimeform, and 2-(phenylimino) imidazolidines, but not by norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, or histamine.
Under reversible conditions NC-5Z is a full agonist, 50-100 times more potent than octopamine in activating the highly enriched and specific octopamine-sensitive adenylate cyclase of the firefly light organ.

In the American cockroach it directly stimulates the heart in situ, acts synergistically with tryptamine in vivo, inhibits amine-N-acetyltransferase from cockroach head in vitro, causes accumulation of indolamines in cockroaches in vivo, and blocks the stimulation of adenylate cyclase by octopamine in the cockroach CNS in situ.

Competition studies with known octopaminergic agonists including the formamidine pesticides chlordimeform (CDM) and N-demethyl chlordimeform (DCDM) showed the following rank order of potencies in displacing octopamine: DCDM greater than octopamine = synephrine greater than naphazoline greater than clonidine greater than CDM.
These relative activities are similar to the abilities of the same compounds to alter adenylate cyclase activity in light organ homogenates.

Other biogenic amines, including octopamine, adrenalin, dopamine, synephrine and the formamidine chlordimeform were tested for their ability to stimulate fluid secretion.
