GABAaR antagonists find use as insecticides but can exhibit toxicity in mammals. Selectivity between insect and human ion channels may be achieved through chemical synthesis. This presentation will discuss short syntheses of complex plant metabolites from three different chemotypes, all of which target GABAaRs with varying potency.
