GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS

Avermectin: any of a group of pentacyclic sixteen-membered lactones derived from the soil bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. Avermectins are insecticidal or anthelmintic compounds for domestic animals and sometimes humans. Abamectin is the mixture of individual avermectin B1a(more than 90%) and avermectin B1b (not more than 10%) components. A-series compounds are methoxylated at 5 position, whereas the B-series have an underivatized hydroxyl group at the position. The 1-subset compound has an olefinic bond between C22 and C23; the 2-subset possesses a hydroxyl group at position 23 due to the hydration of the double bonds. They are considered to have very similar biological activities and toxicological properties. Ivermectin is the most common avermectin. It is a broad spectrum antiparasitic drug for oral administration. It is sometimes used to treat human onchocerciasis. It is the mixture of 22,23-dihydro-avermectin B1a (at least 90%) and 22,23-dihydro-avermectin B1b (less than 10 %), differing by a single methylene group at 26 position. These are also known as 5-O-demethyl-22,23-dihydro-avermectin A1a and 5-O-demethyl-22,23-dihydro- avermectin A1b respectively. Ivermectin is a white to yellowish crystalline powder; nonhygroscopic; melting point 155 C; insoluble in water; soluble in methanol and ethanol. Doramectin has the closer structural similarity with abamectin than ivermectin. There is a different substituent at the 25 position without the dihydro modification at the 22,23 position. Doramectin is used as an endoparasitic agent in non-lactating cattle. Eprinomectin is the amino-avermectin derived from avermectin B1 with modified terminal oleandrose moiety. It is the mixture of 4"-epiacetylamino-4"-deoxy-avermectin B1a (> 90%) and B1b (< 10%).
