Amitraz

**Amitraz** (*BTS27419*) je nesistemski akaricid i insekticid. On je prvobitno sintetisan u kompaniji Boots Co. u Engleskoj 1969. Amitraz deluje kao repelant insekata, insekticid i kao pesticidni pojačavač. Amitraz je alfa-adrenergički agonist, ligand oktopaminskog receptora centralnog nervnog sistema i inhibitor monoaminske oksidaze i prostaglandinske sinteze. On dovodi do prekomernog pobuđivanja i konsekventno paralize i smrti insekata. Amitraz je manje štetan za sisare, te je između ostalog poznat kao insekticid protiv infestacije pasa gnjidama ili krpeljima.
