Male rats were administered 0, 10 and 40 mg/kg of the local anesthetic lidocaine, 0, 0.01 and 0.10 mg/kg of the alpha-2 adrenergic agonist clonidine or 0, 10 and 30 mg/kg chlordimeform, IP, once per day.

Pupillary and cardiac responses to the insecticide/acaricide amitraz (0.03 to 1.0 mg/kg, iv) and chlordimeform (0.03 to 10.0 mg/kg, iv), as well as the alpha 2-adrenergic agonists clonidine (1 to 30 micrograms/kg, iv) and xylazine (10 to 300 micrograms/kg, iv), were investigated in rats anesthetized with an ether and pentobarbital combination.

Chlordimeform (CDM) and Amitraz (AMZ) are two formamidine pesticides.

3211100 Gilbert ME: Formamidine pesticides enhance susceptibility to kindled seizures in amygdala and hippocampus of the rat. Neurotoxicol Teratol. 1988 May-Jun;10(3):221-7.

Electrical kindling of the amygdala and hippocampus was used to evaluate the effects of two formamidines, chlordimeform (CDF) and amitraz (AMZ), upon seizures susceptibility in the rat.
The alpha-2 adrenergic agonist and/or local anesthetic-like properties of these compounds may be responsible for these seizure enhancing effects.

The results suggested: 1) the mydriatic and bradycardic effects of CDM and DCDM are mediated by alpha 2-adrenoreceptors, 2) the monodemethylation of CDM increases its alpha 2-adrenoreceptor agonistic activities, but the didemethylation of CDM abolishes these activities, and 3) CDM can exert alpha 2-adrenoreceptor agonistic activities without undergoing a demethylation process.

The effects of the formamidine pesticides amitraz and chlordimeform on the alpha (2)-adrenergic receptor subtype that mediates the release of [(3) H] noradrenaline by synaptosomes from rat hypothalami were studied.
Amitraz also diminished the inhibitory effects of the alpha (2)-adrenergic agonists clonidine and xylazine.

Hemocoel injections of the octopamine agonist chlordimeform (CDM) had similar effects on aggression but also enhanced startle responses.
