The present invention provides a method of measuring the ability of a compound to bind to the GABA recognition site of an insect GABA receptor. The invention further provides host cells that express a nucleic acid encoding the GABA receptor subunit LCCH3 and a nucleic acid encoding the GABA receptor subunit Grd, and cell membranes obtained from the host cells.

Method of identifying compounds that bind to the insect gaba receptor

The invention relates to diketontrile derivatives which have been discovered useful against arthropods, plant nematodes, helminth protozoan pests or as intermediates for such useful compounds which have general formula: ##STR1##
