Organochlorines: Cyclodienes & Aryl Hydrocarbons
Pyrethrin/ Pyrethroid Type I
Pyrethrin/ Pyrethroid Type II
MOA: Inhibits post-synaptic GABA gated Cl- channels → inhibition lost → ↑ stimulation
Organochlorines: Diphenyl Aliphatics & Aryl Hydrocarbons
Organochlorines: Cyclodienes & Aryl Hydrocarbons
Pyrethrin/ Pyrethroid Type I
Pyrethrin/ Pyrethroid Type II
MOA: Liver → Des-methylbromethalin → mitochondria → ↓ ATP → Na pump impaired in fatty tissue → edema in neural tissue
Amitraz
Anticoagulants
Organochlorines
Bromethalin
MOA: Unknown – decreases the threshold for seizures
Bromethalin
Zn Phosphide
Strychnine
Metaldehyde
MOA: Ingested → hydrolysis → ↑ PH3 (gas)
- Can vomit: strong emetic (partially protective) → ↓PH3
- Can’t vomit: ↑ PH3 (gas) → inhibition of cytochrome oxidase → cell death
Zn Phosphide
Strychnine
Bromethalin
Cholecalciferol
MOA: Inhibition of glycine binding → inhibition of reflex arc → uncontrolled excitation of reflex
Zn Phosphide
Strychnine
Bromethalin
Pyrethrin/ Pyrethroid
MOA: Inhibition of vitamin K epoxidase → lack of thrombin → lack of clot formation
Anticoagulants
Cholecalciferol
Metaldehyde
Carbamates
MOA: Vit D3 → liver → 25 hydroxy D3 → kidney → 1, 25 dihydroxy D3 → negative feedback → excess 25 hydroxy D3 → ↑ Ca absorption from gut and bone → ↑ Ca/P
Anticoagulants
Cholecalciferol
Bromethalin
Strychnine
