Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroactive Insecticides: Targets, Selectivity, Resistance, and Secondary Effects

TL;DR: Primary toxic effects in mammals from off-target serine hydrolase inhibition include organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy and disruption of the cannabinoid system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neonicotinoid insecticides induce salicylate-associated plant defense responses.

TL;DR: Using Arabidopsis thaliana, it is shown that the neonicotinoid compounds, imidacloprid (IMI) and clothianidin (CLO), via their 6-chloropyridinyl-3-carboxylic acid and 2-chlorothiazolyl-5-car boxylic Acid metabolites, respectively, induce salicylic acid (SA)-associated plant responses associated with enhanced stress tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural model for γ-aminobutyric acid receptor noncompetitive antagonist binding: Widely diverse structures fit the same site

TL;DR: Six NCAs plus t-butylbicyclophosphorothionate fit the 2' to 9' pore region forming hydrogen bonds with the T6' hydroxyl and hydrophobic interactions with A2', T6', and L9' alkyl substituents, thereby blocking the channel.
