Indoxacarb is an oxadiazine pesticide developed by DuPont that acts against lepidopteran larvae.{{Cite book |last1=Jeschke |first1=Peter |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/book/10.1002/9783527699261 |title=Modern Crop Protection Compounds |last2=Witschel |first2=Matthias |last3=Krämer |first3=Wolfgang |last4=Schirmer |first4=Ulrich |date=25 January 2019 |publisher=Wiley-VCH |isbn=9783527699261 |edition=3rd |pages=1424–1448 |chapter=33.4 Voltage-dependent Sodium Channel-blocking Insecticides|doi=10.1002/9783527699261 }} It is marketed under the names Indoxacarb Technical Insecticide, Steward Insecticide and Avaunt Insecticide.

Its main mode of action is via blocking of neuronal sodium channels, belonging to IRAC group 22A. It is fairly lipophilic with a Kow of 4.65. This pesticide should be used with caution since some insects such as the oriental tobacco budworm (Helicoverpa assulta) become resistant when exposed.{{Cite journal|last1=Wang|first1=Kai-Yun|last2=Zhang|first2=Yong|last3=Wang|first3=Hong-Yan|last4=Xia|first4=Xiao-Ming|last5=Liu|first5=Tong-Xian|date=2010-01-01|title=Influence of three diets on susceptibility of selected insecticides and activities of detoxification esterases of Helicoverpa assulta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)|journal=Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology|volume=96|issue=1|pages=51–55|doi=10.1016/j.pestbp.2009.09.003|bibcode=2010PBioP..96...51W }}

Toxicity to humans

While toxicity to humans has not been formally studied, there is a reported case of a person consuming indoxacarb in a suicide attempt.{{Cite journal|last1=Prasanna|first1=Lakshmi|last2=Rao|first2=S. Manimala|last3=Singh|first3=Vishal|last4=Kujur|first4=Rash|last5=Gowrishankar|date=2008|title=Indoxacarb poisoning: An unusual presentation as methemoglobinemia|journal=Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine |volume=12|issue=4|pages=198–200|doi=10.4103/0972-5229.45082|issn=0972-5229|pmc=2738321|pmid=19742262 |doi-access=free }} The patient developed methemoglobinemia following ingestion. Methemoglobinemia (also known as blue baby syndrome) is a condition which ultimately decreases the effectiveness of red blood cells to exchange oxygen with organs. Methemoglobinemia can be fatal if left untreated, however when the cause is exposure to a chemical agent (not genetic) a variety of treatments are available and effective.{{Cite journal |last=Rehman |first=Habib Ur |date=September 2001 |title=Methemoglobinemia |journal=The Western Journal of Medicine |volume=175 |issue=3 |pages=193–196 |doi=10.1136/ewjm.175.3.193 |pmid=11527852 |pmc=1071541 }}{{Citation |last1=Ludlow |first1=John T. |title=Methemoglobinemia |date=2023 |url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK537317/ |work=StatPearls |access-date=2023-09-01 |place=Treasure Island (FL) |publisher=StatPearls Publishing |pmid=30726002 |last2=Wilkerson |first2=Richard G. |last3=Nappe |first3=Thomas M.}}
