์์ฉ ๊ธฐ์ : Lufenuron acts by inhibiting **chitin synthesis, polymerization, and deposition** in insects. - **Mechanism:** It is believed to cause nonspecific inhibition of chitin synthesis related to **serine protease inhibition**. - **Effect on Fleas:** When an adult female flea feeds on a treated animal, she ingests lufenuron. The drug is deposited into her eggs, preventing the development of the exoskeleton and the "egg tooth" needed for hatching. โ **Eggs fail to hatch** or larvae die during the molting process. - **Fungal/Parasitic Theory:** The theoretical basis for its use against fungi and *E. cuniculi* is that these organisms also contain chitin in their cell walls, though clinical efficacy has not been proven.

Lufenuron has a very wide margin of safety. Growing puppies dosed at levels up to 30X the recommended dose for 10 months showed no overt effects on growth or viability. Cats receiving oral dosages up to 17X the recommended dose were apparently unaffected.
