1S,3R,αR-Deltamethrin is an isomer of Deltamethrin (D230700), a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, which acts as a potent inhibitor of calcineurin (protein phosphatase 2B) and has an IC50 of about 100pM. This inhibition action results in cellular hyperexcitability by causing non-mutated calcium channels to remain open for an extended period of time allowing an abundance of Ca2+ to enter the cell.
