Bromophos-ethyl has been shown to be toxic to animals in the form of inhibition of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, leading to convulsions and death. Bromophos-ethyl may also have an effect on fatty acid metabolism, as it has been shown to inhibit the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transaminase enzyme.
