Action potentials and high-voltage-activated calcium channels are blocked by chlorantraniliprole. (A) Calcium action potentials in current-clamp (top trace) are decreased in amplitude after exposure to chlorantraniliprole 10 µM in muscle cells. (B) The amplitude of the current through voltage-gated calcium channels (CaVs) is decreased by chlorantraniliprole (voltage ramps obtained under voltage-clamp in a muscle cell). (C) Dose-dependent blockade of CaVs (mean ± SEM, n = 6–13 per concentration) in neurons (open diamond) and muscle cells (black squares). DMSO concentration was 0.1% in all conditions except at 30 and 200 µM, were DMSO was increased to 1.5 and 5%, respectively, to overcome the low water solubility of the insecticide.
