Rynaxypyr: a new insecticidal anthranilic diamide that acts as a potent and selective ryanodine receptor activator

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2007 Nov 15;17(22):6274-9. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.09.012. Epub 2007 Sep 7.

Abstract

Rynaxypyr is a highly potent and selective activator of insect ryanodine receptors with exceptional activity on a broad range of Lepidoptera. A strong correlation between insecticidal activity and ryanodine receptor activation is observed along with selective activity against insect over mammalian receptors. The synthesis and biological results are presented.
