Fluvalinate
Fluvalinate is an orally active acaricide classified as a sodium channel inhibitor. Fluvalinate delays sodium channel closure, prolongs cell membrane depolarization, inhibits the excitability of honeybee brain neurons, and exerts a central nervous system inhibitory effect. Fluvalinate negatively affects the learning ability, memory ability, sucrose responsiveness, and survival of honeybees. Fluvalinate potentiates pentobarbital-induced hypnosis, reduces spontaneous activity in mice, and decreases the total white blood cell count and absolute lymphocyte count in mice. Fluvalinate induces acute toxic symptoms in rats, acts as a cholinergic stimulant, and induces the production of hepatic enzymes in rats. Fluvalinate causes the death of Varroa jacobsoni sensitive to τ-Fluvalinate (HY-B2021). Fluvalinate can be used in studies related to mite pest control.

Biological Activity
Fluvalinate (0.25-2.5% w/v) produces negative inotropic and negative chronotropic effects on isolated frog hearts, and complete myocardial block occurs at 2.5% w/v[1].
Fluvalinate (0.3-3.0 μg per vial; 24 h) has an LC90 of 2.4 μg per vial (95% CI 1.4-8.2 μg), and induces a mortality rate of 80.3% in fluvalinate-sensitive Varroa mites from southern Texas following 24 h of exposure in a glass vial residual bioassay[4].
Fluvalinate (2.4 μg per tube; 24 h) results in a 73.3% mortality rate of Varroa jacobsoni from other apiaries in Texas (with no significant difference from susceptible mites), a 23.7% mortality rate of mites from Florida, and a 65.1% mortality rate of mites from California; it also induces consistent mortality rates of Varroa mites in 3 hives within the same fluvalinate-susceptible apiary in Texas[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Fluvalinate (15 mg/kg; i.p.; once daily; for 15 consecutive days) induces significant body weight loss, hematological changes, and liver-kidney-spleen toxicity in male Swiss albino mice[1].
Fluvalinate (0.125-1.25 μg; oral, transdermal; single administration) negatively affects the learning ability, memory ability, sucrose responsiveness, and survival of honey bees in a dose-dependent manner[2].
Fluvalinate (62.5-500 mg/kg; oral administration; single dose) has an acute oral LD50 value of 293 mg/kg in male Wistar rats and 280 mg/kg in female Wistar rats, and induces dose-dependent toxic signs[3].
Fluvalinate (17.5-70 mg/kg/day; oral administration; once daily for 15 consecutive days) causes a significant dose-dependent reduction in pentobarbital-induced sleep time in female Wistar rats[3].
Fluvalinate (17.5-70 mg/kg/day; oral administration; once daily for consecutive 21 days) induces mild transient cholinergic symptoms in female Wistar rats, significantly increases AST and BUN levels as well as the relative weight of the adrenal glands; at doses of 35 and 70 mg/kg/day, it significantly reduces estrogen levels; the dose of 70 mg/kg/day also increases the relative weight of the liver and decreases the relative weight of the spleen[3].

Result:Prolonged pentobarbitone sleeping time dose-dependently at single doses of 7.5-60 mg/kg, with durations ranging from 72.66 to 292.20 min.
Shortened pentobarbitone sleeping time to 44.50 min after three consecutive daily 15 mg/kg pretreatments.
Suppressed spontaneous locomotor activity to 9.04%-22.03% of control within 4 h post single 15 mg/kg dose, without altering forced locomotion.
