The nitroguanidine insecticide imidacloprid (IMI) is known to act as an agonist at the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Saturable binding of [3H]IMI to membranes of the peach potato aphid Myzus persicae (R1 strain) revealed the presence of both high- and low-affinity [3H]IMI binding...
