Zeta-Cypermethrin
Zeta-Cypermethrin is a type II pyrethroid insecticide. Zeta-Cypermethrin primarily acts on voltage-gated sodium channels in nerve cells, causing delayed channel closure, persistent nerve excitation and convulsions. In Drosophila, Zeta-Cypermethrin rapidly induces extremely high metabolic resistance that can be screened, and exhibits in vitro genotoxicity to human peripheral blood lymphocytes.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
Zeta-cypermethrin (6-30 μg/mL; 24 h) induces concentration-dependent DNA damage in human peripheral blood lymphocytes[1].
Zeta-cypermethrin (6-60 μg/mL; 24 h) does not reduce viability of human peripheral blood lymphocytes at concentrations up to 30 μg/mL, but significantly reduces viability to 80% at 45 μg/mL and induces complete cell death at 60 μg/mL in vitro[1].

Genotoxicity/Mutagenicity Study
The bacterial reverse mutation assay detects point mutations that restore amino-acid prototrophy in auxotrophic Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli tester strains; after exposure to a test article, mutagenic activity is read out as an increased number of revertant colonies on minimal agar compared with the vehicle control. The assay uses tester strains with different mutation targets so that base-substitution and frameshift mutagens can be detected, and testing is performed with and without exogenous mammalian metabolic activation because some chemicals require biotransformation to become mutagenic.
