Description
A neonicotinoid insecticide; binds to nAChRs (IC50 = 0.6 nM for housefly head membranes); activates non-desensitizing nAChRs in cockroach neurons in vitro (IC50 = 1,520 nM); induces mortality in adult M. persicae (LC95 = 1.28 mg/L), as well as H. virescens and S. frugiperda second instar larvae at 8 mg/L in a leaf-dip bioassay; increases the number of premature births in rabbits at >25 mg/kg; reduces the length and weight of fathead minnows when administered in tank water at 20 mg/L
