Invitro | Halofenozide (RH-0345) reduces both growth and development of oocytes in vitro[1]. Cell Viability Assay[2] Cell Line: |
In Vivo | After topical application of Halofenozide (RH-0345; 5 and 10 μg) on adult females, the highest dose (10 μg) reduces significantly the reproductive parameters scored: namely the oviposition period, the fecundity and the egg viability[1].Halofenozide at the two doses tested (5 and 10 μg) causes smaller eggs with a decrease in length, width and volume[1].
