SCABREX LOTION 60ML

The mechanism of action of Gamma benzene hexachloride (GBH) Lotion primarily involves its insecticidal properties. GBH acts as a neurotoxin, targeting the central nervous system of insects. It disrupts nerve signal transmission by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which is responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. By inhibiting AChE, GBH leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft, causing overstimulation of the insect's nervous system. This results in rapid paralysis and eventual death of the insect. The selective toxicity of GBH towards insects is attributed to differences in AChE sensitivity and the ability of mammals to metabolize and detoxify the compound more efficiently.
