4-Azolylphenyl isoxazoline insecticides acting at the GABA gated chloride channel.

Isoxazoline insecticides have been shown to be potent blockers of insect GABA receptors with excellent activity on a broad pest range, including Lepidoptera and Hemiptera. Herein we report on the synthesis, biological activity and mode-of-action for a class of 4-heterocyclic aryl isoxazoline insecticides.
