Chlorantraniliprole is an insecticide in the ryanoid class. It is a new compound developed by DuPont and belongs to a new class of selective insecticides (anthranilic diamides) featuring a novel mode of action (IRAC group 28). It is the first anthranilic diamide registered for use on turfgrass and landscape ornamentals. Chlorantraniliprole is used to control a broad spectrum of pests, including cabbage loopers, corn borers, Colorado potato beetle, European grapevine moth, armyworms, and cutworms, across crops such as potatoes and cotton. Its mode of action is through activation of insect ryanodine receptors (RyRs), which further stimulates the release and depletion of intracellular calcium stores from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells, resulting in impaired muscle regulation, paralysis, and ultimately death of susceptible species.
Formulations containing chlorantraniliprole have been used in agriculture to control moths, beetles, and caterpillars, among other insects.
White crystalline material; specific gravity (for liquid): 1.507 g/mL; melting point: 208–210 °C; decomposition temperature: 330 °C; vapor pressure (under 20–25): 6.3×10−212 Pa; solubility (under 20–25, mg/L): water 1.023, acetone 3.446, methanol 1.714, acetonitrile 0.711, ethyl acetate 1.144. Chlorfenvinphos: It is highly efficient with a broad spectrum and provides effective control of Lepidoptera of Noctuidae, stem borer moths, fruit moths, leaf roller moths, pink moths, vegetable moths, wheat moths, and fine moths, among others. It can also control Sphingidae weevils and leaf beetles, Diptera subterranean flies, sooty flies, and many other non-Lepidopteran pests.
Chlorantraniliprole is a pyrazolylpyridine insecticide and an activator of insect ryanodine receptors.
