Chlorantraniliprole (Rynaxypyr) is an insecticide of the diamide classe.[1] Chlorantraniliprole was developed world-wide by DuPont to control a range of pests belonging to the order Lepidoptera (moth), and some Coleoptera (beetle), Diptera (fly), and Isoptera (termite) species.

Chlorantraniliprole opens muscular calcium channels, in particular the ryanodine receptor, rapidly causing paralysis and ultimately death of sensitive species. The differential selectivity chlorantraniliprole has towards insect ryanodine receptors explains its low mammalian toxicity receptor.[2] Chlorantraniliprole is active on chewing pest insects primarily by ingestion and secondarily by contact.

Chlorantraniliprole is an active ingredient in the insecticidal products Aclepryn (0.2%), Coragen (18.5%), Ferterra (0.4%) and Scotts GrubEx1 (0.08%).
