The mode of action for these insecticides is to inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Acetylcholinesterase is responsible for removing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from the synaptic cleft; thus, inhibiting AChE can create an accumulation of endogenous acetylcholine in nerve tissues and effector organ, resulting in a continuous firing of nerve impulses. Inhibition of AChE activity has been used as a biomarker of exposure for Organophosphorus insecticide toxicity in terrestrial and aquatic organisms.
