Spinosyn A

Spinosyn A is a naturally-occurring macrocyclic lactone that is a potent insecticide. It acts as an agonist of insect nicotinic acetylcholinesterase receptors (nAChRs), which differ both structurally and functionally from nAChRs in vertebrates. As a result, it has low affinity for vertebrate nAChRs and has limited adverse effects in those animals. Spinosyn A is produced naturally by the fermentation of the bacterium S. spinosa and its chemical synthesis has been described. Formulations containing spinosyn A have been used in the control of insects in agriculture.Formal Name: (2R,3aS,5aR,5bS,9S,13S,14R,16aS,16bR)-2-[(6-deoxy-2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-alpha-L-mannopyranosyl)oxy]-13-[[(2R,5S,6R)-5-(dimethylamino)tetrahydro-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-yl]oxy]-9-ethyl-2,3,3a,5a,5b,6,9,10,11,12,13,14,16a,16b-tetradecahydro-14-methyl-1H-as-indaceno[3,2-d]oxacyclododecin-7,15-dione.
