Product Information

• Name: Hexaflumuron
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Hexaflumuron is an insecticide that belongs to the group of organophosphates. It inhibits chitin synthesis by binding to the active site of chitin synthase and inhibiting the transfer of phosphate groups to the substrate. Hexaflumuron also shows synergistic effects with benzoate, which is an inhibitor of hydrogen-bond formation in the insect cell membrane. Hexaflumuron has been shown to be effective against a broad range of insects, including resistant strains such as erythromycin-resistant strains of houseflies and mosquitoes. Long-term toxicity studies have shown that hexaflumuron is not toxic for mammals at doses below lethal levels. The mechanism for this effect may be related to its inhibitory effect on energy metabolism in insects.
