Broflanilide(CAT: I020116) is a potent insecticide. It is metabolized to Desmethyl-Broflanilide, a potent antagonist at the insect-resistant-to-dieldrin (RDL) GABA receptor. By inhibiting the RDL GABA receptor, Desmethyl-Broflanilide exerts its insecticidal activity, particularly against insects such as S. litura. The RDL GABA receptor is an essential target for insecticides, and the antagonistic action of Desmethyl-Broflanilide on this receptor contributes to its insecticidal effects.
