Diflubenzuron

Diflubenzuron is a benzoylphenylurea insecticide that inhibits chitin synthesis in insects with an IC50 value of 0.611 nM for 14C-labeled N-acetyl-D-glucosamine incorporation in the cockroach. Specifically, it inhibits chitin synthetase at the egg and larval stages, leading to an inability to exit the egg or exocuticle, respectively. Diflubenzuron is genotoxic and mutagenic in mice at doses of 0.3, 1, and 3 mg/kg. Formulations containing diflubenzuron are used primarily in agricultural applications but are also used to control insects in livestock production.Formal Name: N-[[(4-chlorophenyl)amino]carbonyl]-2,6-difluoro-benzamide.
