Spinosad Factor A is a naturally derived fermentation product that is used as a pesticide against many different insects.
The spinosyns are a family of macrolide natural products produced by the soil microorganism Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Spinosyn A is identified as a naturally-occurring macrocyclic lactone that is a potent insecticide.
Spinosad is a novel mode-of-action insecticide derived from a family of natural products obtained by fermentation of S. spinosa. Spinosyns occur in over 20 natural forms, and over 200 synthetic forms (spinosoids) have been produced in the lab. Spinosad contains a mix of two spinosoids, spinosyn A, the major component, and spinosyn D (the minor component), in a roughly 17:3 ratio.
