Spinosad is an insecticide based on chemical compounds found in the bacterial species Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Spinosyn D is a spinosyn in which the sugar amino and hydroxy groups are globally methylated. One of the two active ingredients of spinosad (Spinosyn-A Spinosyn-D). It has a role as a pediculicide. It is a spinosyn and a spinosyn insecticide. The spinosyns and spinosoids have a novel mode of action, primarily targeting binding sites on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of the insect nervous system that are distinct from those at which other insecticides have their activity. Spinosoid binding leads to disruption of acetylcholine neurotransmission.
