In insects, chlorantraniliprole disrupts normal muscle
contraction. It binds to the ryanodine receptor, a specific muscle receptor.
When chlorantraniliprole binds to this receptor, muscular
calcium channels open and calcium leaks out. The muscles then stop working
normally,
causing the insects to become paralysed and eventually die.
It is toxic to insects when ingested and to insect eggs, larvae, and pupae when
they come into contact with it.
