CAS 139968-49-3: Metaflumizone

Metaflumizone is a new insecticide that has been shown to have a synergic effect with other insecticides such as pyrethroids. It blocks the ryanodine receptor, leading to uncontrolled release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells. Metaflumizone also has toxicological properties, including long-term toxicity and toxicity studies. The analytical method for metaflumizone is gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Metaflumizone is used as an insecticide against a wide range of insects, including ants, cockroaches, fleas, flies, mosquitoes, moths and ticks. However it has been shown to be ineffective against some insects such as termites and leafhoppers. Metaflumizone also has high resistance in insects such as houseflies and mosquitoes due to its slow degradation.

Applications Metaflumizone is a semicarbazone insecticide that works by blocking sodium channel in target insects resulting in paralyzation associated with blocking nerve activity. Metaflumizone is useful as a heartworm control treatment. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Zhang, Zhe,, et al.: J.
