Avermectin B1a (5-O-Demethylavermectin A1a, Antibiotic C 076B1a)
5-O-Demethylavermectin A1a, Antibiotic C 076B1a.

Avermectin B1a is the major component (>80%) of the commerically available anthelmintic Abamectin (R) used to control parasitic nematodes in livestock. Avermectin B1a contains a secbutyl residue in the 24-position. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown this analogue is the more potent analogue in the commerical product.

Purity: >99% by HPLC
Solubility: Soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF or DMSO.
