  • Synthetic modification of Spinosyn compounds
    Patent number: 6001981
    Abstract: The compounds of the present invention are prepared directly or indirectly by modifying the compounds that are naturally produced from Saccharopolyspora spinosa. The compounds of the invention have been shown to have activity against insects and mites. The compounds are prepared by modifying the rhamnose sugar, modification of the forosamine sugar, or starting with pseuodoaglycone and then replacement with a nonsugar derivative or different sugar, modification of the 5,6,5-tricyclic and 12-membered macrocyclic lactone part of the compounds naturally produced or of the pseudoaglycone of the natural compounds.
