| In Vitro |
Fluxametamide is an antagonist of GABA- and glutamate-gated chloride channels, dose-dependently inhibits currents induced by GABA and glutamate in M. domestica GABACls and GluCls, with IC50 values of 1.95 (1.18−3.21) nM and 225 (137−372) nM, respectively, and displays potent antagonistic activity against T. urticae GABACls with an IC50 of 0.219 (0.127 − 0.381) nM. Fluxametamide inhibits GABA responses in the wild-type L. striatellus GABACls with IC50 values of 1.40 (0.57 − 3.29) nM; in the A2′N mutant GABACls, the IC50 value is 3.51 (2.17 − 5.69) nM. Moreover, Fluxametamide scarcely inhibits GABA (EC50)-induced currents in rat GABACls at 10 μM and with no inhibition on glycine (EC50)-induced current in human α1 GlyCls at tested concentrations[1].

| In Vivo |
Fluxametamide shows significant insecticidal activity with an LD50 (LD95) value of 12.9 ± 4.9 ng/fly (38.7 ± 6.3 ng/fly)[1].
