Pyrethroids are divided into 2 classes (Types I and II) based on their effects on the cercal sensory nerves recorded in vivo and in vitro and on the symptomology they produce in dosed cockroaches, P. americana. Type I compounds include pyrethrins, S-bioallethrin, [1R,cis]resmethrin, kadethrin, the 1R,trans and 1R,cis isomers of tetramethrin, phenothrin and permethrin, and an oxime O-phenoxybenzyl ether. Electrophysiological recordings from dosed individuals reveal trains of cercal sensory spikes and sometimes also spike trains from the cercal motor nerves and in the CNS. Low concentrations of these pyrethroids act in vitro to induce repetitive firing in a cercal sensory nerve following a single electrical stimulus. This in vitro measurement, standardized for evaluating structure-activity relationships, shows that only 1R, insecticidal isomers are highly effective neurotoxins. The most potent compounds on the isolated nerve are [1R,trans]- and [1R,cis]tetramethrin, each active at 3 .times. 10-13 M. The poisoning symptoms of Type I compounds are restlessness, incoordination, hyperactivity, prostration and paralysis. Type II compounds include [1R,cis,.alpha.S]- and [1R,trans,.alpha.S]cypermethrin, deltamethrin and [S,S]fenvalerate. These .alpha.-cyanophenoxybenzyl pyrethroids do not induce repetitive firing in the cercal sensory nerves either in vivo or in vitro; they cause different symptoms, including a pronounced convulsive phase. Two other pyrethroids with an .alpha.-cyano substituent, i.e., fenpropathrin and an oxime O-.alpha.-cyanophenoxybenzyl ether, are classified as Type I based on their action on a cercal sensory nerve but the symptoms with these compounds resemble Type II. The 2 classes of pyrethroid action evident with the cockroach are discussed relative to their neurophysiological effects and symptomology in other organisms.
