chitin synthesis

Etoxazole is an acaricide insecticide that works via chitin biosynthesis inhibition for the control of mites. Used as a standard for Pesticide detection.

Nikkomycin Z (Nikkomycin Z from Streptomyces tendae) is a competitive chitin synthase inhibitor.It inhibitor of the growth of filamentous fungi, insects, acarids and yeasts.

Chitin synthase inhibitor 4 is a chitin synthase (CHS) inhibitor with antimicrobial activity.Chitin synthase inhibitor 4 is a CHS-based compound and a candidate fungicide.

Lufenuron (Fluphenacur) is a chitin-synthesis inhibitor.

Triflumuron is an insecticide belonging to the group of so-called insect growth regulators. It inhibits the synthesis of chitin by the insect larvae, causing the die.

Hexaflumuron is a chitin synthesis inhibitor used to bait and eliminate termite colonies. Termites are unable to metabolize hexaflumuron and clearance is slow, resulting in up to 100% elimination. Hexaflumuron has also been tested for use with the raisin

Diflubenzuron (Larvakil) is a benzoyl-urea insecticide, found to be a potent inhibitor of melanosome synthesis in mouse melanoma cells. Diflubenzuron has also been shown to inhibit TCDD-induced CYP1A1 expression in HepG2 cells.

Flucycloxuron ((E)-flucycloxuron) is a chitin synthesis inhibitor used as a pesticide. In insect models, the inhibitor has been shown to affect several reproductive events such as the duration of preovipostion.

Flufenoxuron（Cascade）is a benzoylurea pesticide that inhibits chitin synthesis in insects. Flufenoxuron is toxic and suppresses the proliferation of testicular cells by targeting mitochondria in mice.

Chlorfluazuron, a chitin synthesis inhibitor, is commonly used as an insect growth regulator for controlling the major insect pests in crops.
