Fluralaner (INN)[4] is a systemic insecticide and acaricide that is administered orally[5] or topically.[6] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved it under the trade name Bravecto for flea treatment in dogs in May 2014[7] and Bravecto Plus as a topical treatment for cats in November 2019,[8] with warnings about possible side effects in both species.[9] The EU approved the drug in February 2014.[10] Australia approved it for the treatment and prevention of ticks and fleas on dogs in January 2015.[11] For treating mites in chickens, an oral solution is available as Exzolt.[12]
Fluralaner inhibits γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channels (GABAA receptors) and L-glutamate-gated chloride channels (GluCls).[13] Potency of fluralaner is comparable to fipronil (a related GABA-antagonist insecticide and acaricide).[14]
Fluralaner is being investigated to determine its ability to reduce the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases,[15] as well as bed bugs.[16][17]
