Abstract

- Flupyradifurone (FPF) is a new insecticide acting on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR).
- FPF is distinct from other commercial nAChR agonists and contains a novel bioactive butenolide pharmacophore.
- FPF exhibits fast action against a broad spectrum of sucking insects and has an excellent safety profile.
- N-2,2-Difluoroethyl residue in FPF increases insecticidal activity and prevents oxidative metabolization.
- Lack of CYP6CM1-mediated cross-resistance to imidacloprid is supported by docking studies in silico.
