Bioactivity | Fluralaner (INN) is a systemic insecticide and acaricide Fluralaner through potent blockage of GABA and L-glutamate gated chloride channels. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | Fluralaner potently inhibits flea reproduction capacity in vitro. Oviposition ceases completely at concentrations as low as 25.0 ng/mL. While no ovicidal effect is observed, fluralaner exerts a larvicidal effect at exceptionally low concentrations (6.25 ng/mL)[1]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | In the simulated flea-infested home environment, flea-control efficacy on fluralaner-treated dogs is >99% at every time point measured for 12 weeks. No adverse events are observed in fluralaner-treated dogs. Fluralaner completely controls egg laying, larval development and flea reproduction even at sub-insecticidal concentrations. Oral treatment of dogs with fluralaner is highly effective for eliminating fleas in a simulated flea-infested home environment[1][2]. | ||||||||||||
