A lot of studies showed neurotoxic actions of EOs. In insects, they cause paralysis followed by death. This feature let us consider components of EOs as potential bioinsecticides. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is the one of the most investigated mechanisms of action in EOs. However, EOs are rather weak inhibitors of AChE. Another proposed mechanism of EO action is a positive allosteric modulation of GABA receptors (GABArs). There are several papers that prove the potentiation of GABA effect on mammalian receptors induced by EOs. In contrast, there is lack of any data concerning the binding of EO components in insects GABArs. In insects, EOs act also via the octopaminergic system. Available data show that EOs can increase the level of both cAMP and calcium in nervous cells. Moreover, some EO components compete with octopamine in binding to its receptor.

  • Glutamate-Gated Chloride Channel Receptors and Mechanisms of Drug Resistance in Pathogenic Species
    Glutamate-gated chloride channel receptors and mechanisms of drug resistance in pathogenic species Mohammed Atif B. Pharmacy, M. Pharmacy (Pharmacology) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2019 Queensland Brain Institute Dedicated to my beloved parents & my demised brother who I miss everyday ii Thesis Abstract Pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are important therapeutic targets for a wide range of neurological disorders that include cognitive impairment, stroke, psychiatric conditions and peripheral pain. They are also targets for treating parasite infections and controlling pest species in agriculture, veterinary practice and human health. Here we focus on one family of the pLGICs i.e., the glutamate-gated chloride channel receptors (GluClRs) which are expressed at inhibitory synapses of invertebrates. Ivermectin (IVM) is one of the main drugs used to control pest species and parasites, and it works by activating GluClRs in nematode and arthropod muscle and nerves. IVM resistance is becoming a major problem in many invertebrate pathogens, necessitating the development of novel anti-parasitic drugs. This project started with the simple aim of determining the sensitivity to glutamate and IVM of GluClRs from two different pest species: the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus (HcoGluClRs) and the mosquito malaria vector Anopheles gambiae (AgGluClRs). In chapter 3, we found that the β homomeric GluClRs of H.contortus were insensitive to IVM (EC50> 10 µM), whereas α homomeric HcoGluClRs were highly sensitive (EC50 = 20 nM). Heteromeric αβ HcoGluClRs exhibited an intermediate sensitivity to IVM (EC50 = 135 nM). By contrast, the EC50 values for glutamate at α homomeric and αβ heteromeric receptors were not distinguishable; falling between 20-30 µM.

  • Pediculus Humanus
    Studies into the insecticidai activity and mode of action of monoterpenoid constituents of essentiai oiis against the human iouse, Pediculus humanus. A thesis presented by Caroline Mary Priestley For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Pharmacognosy and Phytotherapy, Department of Pharmaceutical and Biological Chemistry, The School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine, University of London. 2002 Abstract The incidence of head lice, 'Pediculus humanus capitis^ in the West is increasing, with insecticide resistance the likely cause. Previous studies have explored the utility of essential oils, and some of their constituent monoterpenoids, in the treatment of head lice. This investigation examines the relative short-term toxicity of a range of different monoterpenoid structures on adult clothing lice, Pediculus humanus corporis, and their eggs; a structure-activity series was generated for the adults, and partially for eggs. The most effective monoterpenoid against adult Hce was (+)-terpinen-4-ol, with monocyclic compounds containing a single O-atom having the highest activities. Furthermore, there appear to be important differences between the relative potencies of monoterpenoids on lice and eggs, as nerolidol was particularly effective against eggs but completely ineffective against adult lice. To investigate the insecticidal mechanism of action of monterpenoids, various pediculicidal structures were screened for activity on an insect ionotropic GABA receptor, composed of the Drosophila melanogaster svhum t RDL^^, expressed in Xenopus oocytes. Thymol, eugenol and carvacrol potentiated GABA responses at this receptor, and possessed agonist activity at high concentrations. This is the first documentation of monoterpenoid bioactivity at an isolated insect receptor known to be representative of an in vivo insecticidal target.

When they were banned, their modes of action and metabolism were not known. This article aims at providing a picture of the metabolism of γ-BHC and the modes of action of γ -BHC and dieldrin. γ-BHC is metabolized via two independent metabolic pathways. One is a glutathione conjugation pathway resulting in the formation of dichlorophenyl mercapturic acid and the other is an oxidative metabolism catalyzed by microsomes to mainly 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (TCP) and (36/45)-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohex-1-ene (HCCHE). Other metabolites of this pathway are 2,4,5-TCP, 2,3,4,6-tetrachlorophenol (TeCP), (36/45)- and (346/5)-1,3,4,5,6-pentachlo- rocyclohex-1-enes (PCCHE). Nowadays, γ-BHC and dieldrin are very important reagents which are used to study the GABA receptor in insects and mammals. They were found to be noncompetitive GABA antagonists blocking the chloride ion selec- tive pores in the GABA-gated chloride channels and leading to inhibition of chloride ion conductance. [3H]EBOB binding data showed that γ-BHC, its analogs, dieldrin, and other cyclodiene insecticides interact with the same site on GABA receptor as picrotoxinin.

In recent years Merchiston their poisons have been shown to be polyacetylenes (n-C2H2). The plants Edinburgh EH11 1NN closely resemble two of the most common plants in the family Apiaceae UK (Umbelliferae), celery and parsley. Unwittingly, they are ingested by naive foragers and death occurs very rapidly. The third plant Anamirta derives from South-East Asia and contains a powerful convulsant, picrotoxin, which has been used from time immemorial to catch sh, and more recently to poison Birds of Paradise. All three poisons have been shown to block the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) system in the human brain that normally has a powerful inhibitory neuronal action. It has also been established that two groups of sedative drugs, barbiturates and benzodiazepines, exert their inhibitory action by stimulating the GABA system. These drugs are the treatments of choice for poisoning by the three vicious plants.

Functional expression of a glutamate-gated chloride channel (GLC- 3) from adult Brugia malayi. Bukunmi Akanji, Melanie Abongwa, Mark McHugh, Richard J. Martin & Alan P. Robertson Department of Biomedical Science, College of Veterinary Medicine, Iowa State University, Ames, IA 50011, USA. Abstract Parasitic worms are causative agents for six highly prevalent neglected tropical diseases of humans which include ascariasis, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, trichuriasis, hookworm infection, and onchocerciasis that affect a high percentage of the world’s population. Resistance to available anthelminthic drugs especially for the benzimidazole anthelmintic agents (e.g., albendazole and mebendazole) and ivermectin is a serious concern (this is a real problem for veterinary medicine and a growing concern in human medicine).
