VU041 is a mosquito cuticle penetrant, potent and selective inhibitor of inwardly rectifying potassium (Kir) channel of Aedes aegypti (AeKir1) and Anopheles gambiae (AnKir1) that exhibits potent toxicity to adult insecticide-susceptible and -resistant strains of female mosquitoes. VU041 is selective for mosquito Kir channels over several mammalian orthologs. Also, VU041 is toxic to mosquito larvae when present in water.

The inward rectifier potassium (Kir) channels play key roles in the physiology of mosquitoes and other insects. Our group, among others, previously demonstrated that small molecule inhibitors of Kir channels are promising lead molecules for developing new insecticides to control

The unique feeding biology of aphids suggests novel insecticide targets are likely to exist outside of the nervous system. We therefore aimed to directly test the hypothesis that pharmacological inhibition of inward rectifier potassium (Kir) channels would result in salivary
Insecticide resistance is a growing threat to mosquito control programs around the world, thus creating the need to discover novel target sites and target-specific compounds for insecticide development. Emerging evidence suggests that mosquito inward rectifier potassium (Kir) channels represent viable
