3000377 Bloomquist JR, Soderlund DM: Neurotoxic insecticides inhibit GABA-dependent chloride uptake by mouse brain vesicles. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 1985 Nov 27;133(1):37-43.

The neurotoxic insecticides endrin, dieldrin, aldrin, lindane (gamma-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane) and deltamethrin inhibited gamma-aminobutyric acid-dependent 36Cl- uptake by mouse brain vesicles.
These results demonstrate the disruption of gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor-chloride ionophore function in mammalian brain by neurotoxic insecticides and provide evidence that this complex is the principal site of cyclodiene action.

In order to characterize pyrethroid effects on neurotransmitter release and neuronal excitability in glutamatergic networks, we examined the effects of deltamethrin (DM) and permethrin (PM) on neuronal activity in hippocampal neuronal cultures using patch-clamp and microelectrode array (MEA) recordings.
In the presence of inhibitors of GABA receptors, spontaneous excitatory post-synaptic currents (sEPSCs) and spontaneous spike rates were reduced in a concentration-dependent manner by both DM and PM.

The type II pyrethroids deltamethrin and fenvalerate augmented the GABA-activated peak chloride current when applied concurrently with GABA, but the effect was diminished as the pyrethroids were applied for long periods of time prior to GABA application.
It seems that general anesthetics have a specific affinity for the GABA receptor-channel complex.

The potent alpha-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl pyrethroids, including cypermethrin, deltamethrin, and fenvalerate, act stereospecifically to inhibit binding to rat brain synaptic membranes of sulfur-35-labeled t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate, a new radioligand for the picrotoxinin binding site.

Thus, the action of lindane to stimulate the nervous system is partly because of an interaction with the GABA receptor-channel complex.

Deltamethrin and three insecticidal cyano analogs causing the Type II pyrethroid syndrome increased the input resistance of crayfish claw opener muscle fibers bathed in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).
Cyanophenoxybenzyl pyrethroids therefore appear to act on the GABA receptor-ionophore complex.
