Oxazosulfyl is an insecticide that was developed by Sumitomo and introduced to the market in Japan in 2021 for use against insect pests on rice. The molecule has two different sulfonyl groups. Oxazosulfyl works by inhibiting the vesicular acetylcholine transporter (VAChT) and was allocated to IRAC group 37. This inhibition results in rapid paralysis of the insect, which onsets a few minutes after application, and lasts for several days. Oxazosulfyl is the first and until now only insecticide in the IRAC group 37. The class has not been given a name by IRAC, but Sumitomo propose the name "sulfyl" for the class. Oxazosulfyl is used mainly in rice seed boxes. It controls a broad spectrum of rice pests in the orders of hemiptera, lepidoptera, and coleoptera. Some of the target insects are the brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens), the white-backed planthopper (Sogatella furcifera), the small brown planthopper (Laodelphax striatellus) and the rice leaf beetle (Oulema oryzae).
