    Spinosyn D, >90% (6-methyl-spinosyn A) is the minor component of Spinosad and makes up to 15% of Spinosad.  Spinosyn D differs from Spinosyn A by having a methyl group instead of a hydrogen atom at position C6 on the macrolide.  Spinosyn D is a potent insecticide for crop protection.  The spinosyns have a unique mode of action involving disruption of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. 

    Spinosyn D is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
