The convulsive properties of subgroups of chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides were compared in locally anesthetized, paralyzed cats. Dieldrin, endrin, and lindane proved to be rapidly acting, potent convulsants. They produced indistinguishable changes in EEG and evoked-response studies. Hypersynchrony, rhythmic bursts of spikes and waves, and isolated spikes characterized the preictal state. Seizures were of a generalized tonic-clonic type. Responses in sensory and motor cortex to sensory nerve stimulation were enhanced three- to fivefold. Aldrin and heptachlor produced similar effects but only after a delay of 20–30 min and at two to three times higher doses. DDT effects were more variable. Although it produced convulsive behavior, EEG effects differed, being characterized by sustained hypersynchrony. Responses to sensory nerve stimulation were usually, but not always, enhanced. Kelthane produced no measurable effects on EEG or evoked responses at all doses below those causing death by cardiovascular collapse. These data demonstrate that the epoxide compounds (dieldrin and aldrin) and lindane are directly toxic to the mammalian CNS and do not require metabolism to an active metabolite. Second, for the cyclodienes the epoxides are more potent and more rapid in development of effects than are the nonepoxide analogs.
