Broflanilide
chemical compound
Broflanilide is a complex, polycyclic, organohalogen insecticide which provides a novel mode of action (MoA).
Mode of action
Upon its discovery by Mitsui Chemicals, Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) created the new MoA Group 30 for Broflanilide. Broflanilide is a meta-diamide GABA-gated Cl− channel allosteric modulator. This - along with isoxazolines providing the same MoA, so far only fluxametamide - constitute the new MoA Group 30 in the IRAC classification scheme.
Advantages
No cross-resistance with existing MoAs.
Shows high effectiveness against wireworms.
Not systemic.
Environmental Hazards
The EPA has stated that Broflanilide is "Likely to be Carcinogenic to Humans".
Broflanilide meets the EPA Working Definition of PFAS. Note that "EPA considers any level of PFAS to be potentially toxicologically significant".
Products
Products were registered in the United States in January, 2021, and in Canada.
The public source identifies “Broflanilide” as chemical compound. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Broflanilide, chemical and compound.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Broflanilide”, the useful work is to connect “chemical compound” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q26882721. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2021.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
