FUNCTION: Inhibits mammalian and insect voltage-gated sodium and potassium voltage-gated channels. Inhibits the mammalian sodium channels rNav1.2/SCN2A, rNav1.3/SCN3A, rNav1.4/SCN4A, hNav1.5/SCN5A, mNav1.6/SCN8A (IC(50)=156.39 nM), hNav1.8/SCN10A, the arachnid sodium channel VdNav (IC(50)=124.05 nM), as well as the potassium channels Kv11.1/KCNH2/ERG1 (IC(50)=3.7 uM) and rKv4.3/KCND3. In vivo, is lethal on insects (tested on flies M.domestica). When tested on mice, it shows very low toxicity, causing reversible paralyzes at the first hour after intracerebroventricular injection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:32717411}.
