The inhibitory action of synthetic pyrethroids and some chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides on the neural calcium-calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, calcineurin, was studied using one radiotracer and two colorimetric methods. It was found that all insecticidal Type II pyrethroids (cypermethrin, deltamethrin and fenvalerate)

Deficiencies in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) have been linked to several brain disorders, making compounds that can boost neuronal BDNF synthesis attractive as potential therapeutics. However, a sensitive and quantitative BDNF assay for high-throughput screening (HTS) is still missing. Here
