Flubendiamide in Fame® activates ryanodine-sensitive intracellular calcium release channels known as ryanodine receptors, or RyR, within insects. These receptors control calcium flow, which is essential for muscle energy.

By binding to RyR, flubendiamide disturbs the calcium flow, leading to muscle dysfunction and ultimately leading to the death of insects.
