Dinotefuran is a competitive inhibitor targeting insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). This compound effectively disrupts neural signaling in insects, leading to dysfunction. With an IC50 of 890 nM for [3H]epibatidine and 36.1 μM for [3H]α-bungarotoxin in American cockroach neural membranes, Dinotefuran demonstrates significant knockdown (KD50=0.351 nmol/g) and lethal activity (LD50=0.173 nmol/g) against German cockroach. Its primary applications include agricultural pest control, specifically targeting piercing-sucking and chewing insects like aphids and planthoppers, and it also serves as a tool for studying environmental toxicological impacts such as oxidative stress and reproductive neurotoxicity in earthworms.
