Decistab (decamethrin)
Decistab (generic name: decamethrin) is a decamethrin drug. It is currently in unknown development.
Decamethrin works by binding to the insect's voltage-gated sodium channels, preventing the normal flow of sodium ions and disrupting the nervous system.
Decistab is a small molecule insecticide. It is used in the manufacture of long-lasting insecticidal mosquito nets to control malaria vectors.

Imagine your nerves are like a highway system, and sodium ions are like cars driving on that highway. Decamethrin blocks the sodium ions from driving, causing a traffic jam that prevents the nerve cells from functioning properly, leading to paralysis and death.
