Product Description
Metaflumizone is a semicarbazone insecticide and a potent sodium channel blocker.
Metaflumizone (CAS#: 139968-49-3) is a semicarbazone insecticide that acts as a potent sodium channel blocker. It is a stilbene compound and an aminourea compound. Metaflumizone is used for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations in cats. This veterinary drug can be used as part of a treatment regimen for flea allergic dermatitis (FAD). It is a sodium channel inhibitor used in pesticides research to evaluate its effectiveness in neurotoxic action against pests.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Metaflumizone's primary target is the sodium channel, specifically the honeybee NaV 1 channel. It blocks sodium channels, affecting the action potential propagation in neurons and muscle cells, which is crucial for neurological and muscular function. Metaflumizone (10 μM) completely inhibits the Para/TipE sodium currents in Xenopus oocytes. By blocking sodium channels, it disrupts nerve impulse transmission, leading to paralysis and death of the target pests.
ln Vitro
In Xenopus laevis oocytes, Para/TipE sodium currents are totally inhibited by metaflumizone (10 μM) [1].
In vitro, metaflumizone (10 μM) completely inhibits the Para/TipE sodium currents in Xenopus oocytes. Its activity is characterized by its ability to block sodium channel function, as assessed by electrophysiological techniques such as patch-clamp recording. The compound's potency as a sodium channel blocker is evaluated by measuring the inhibition of sodium currents in cells expressing the target sodium channels. Specific IC50 values are not detailed in the provided search results.
ln Vivo
In vivo, metaflumizone is used as a veterinary drug for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations in cats. It is effective against Ctenocephalides canis and Ctenocephalides felis (cat and dog fleas). The compound can be used as part of a treatment regimen for flea allergic dermatitis (FAD). Its insecticidal activity is due to its potent sodium channel blocking action, which causes paralysis and death of fleas.
Enzyme Assay
The in vitro activity of metaflumizone is assessed using electrophysiological techniques, such as the patch-clamp technique, on Xenopus oocytes expressing the Para/TipE sodium channels. Oocytes are voltage-clamped, and sodium currents are elicited by depolarizing voltage steps. Various concentrations of metaflumizone (typically 0.1-100 µM) are applied, and the inhibition of the sodium current is measured to determine the IC50. For insecticidal activity, the compound's effect on insect nerve function can be assessed using nerve cord preparations or by measuring mortality in insect bioassays.
Cell Assay
For cellular assays, insect cell lines expressing sodium channels or Xenopus oocytes injected with sodium channel mRNA are used. Cells are treated with various concentrations of metaflumizone for defined periods. Sodium channel function is assessed using patch-clamp electrophysiology. Cell viability is assessed using standard assays. For insecticidal activity, insect larvae or adult insects are exposed to various concentrations of metaflumizone, and mortality is assessed over time.
Animal Protocol
In vivo, metaflumizone is typically applied topically or orally to animals for flea control. In veterinary studies, the compound is administered to cats or dogs at recommended doses, and the reduction in flea burden is assessed by counting fleas on the animals at various time points after treatment. The compound's efficacy is evaluated by measuring the percentage reduction in flea counts compared to untreated controls. In toxicological studies, metaflumizone is administered to animals, and various toxicity endpoints are assessed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Metaflumizone has a molecular weight and formula consistent with its chemical structure. The compound is soluble in DMSO and should be stored as a powder at -20°C under desiccated conditions. Specific pharmacokinetic parameters such as bioavailability, half-life, and volume of distribution are not detailed in the provided search results. The compound's lipophilicity may influence its distribution and persistence in the environment.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Metaflumizone has low toxicity in mammals but is highly toxic to aquatic organisms. The compound should be used with caution near water bodies. In veterinary use, it is generally well-tolerated at recommended doses. Side effects may include local irritation at the application site. The compound's use is regulated, and it should be used according to label instructions. Comprehensive toxicological studies are required to establish its full safety profile.
