    6,200,155.00Rp - 21,635,835.00Rp
    Milbemycin A3 oxime is a semi-synthetic macrocyclic lactone prepared by the oxidation and oximation of milbemycin A3. Milbemycin A3 oxime is the minor component (~30%) in the commercial product milbemycin oxime, marketed for endo- and exo-parasite infections.

    Milbemycin A3 oxime is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO. Poor water solubility.
    Mechanism of ActionLike the other milbemycin/avermectins, milbemycin A3 oxime acts by opening glutamate sensitive chloride channels in neurons of invertebrates leading to paralysis by hyperpolarisation of these cells and signal transfer blocking.
