Synthesis of milbemycins beta9 and beta10 from milbemycins A3 and A4 and their biological activities

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2002 Jun;66(6):1407-11. doi: 10.1271/bbb.66.1407.

Abstract

Chemical derivation methods were used to prepare milbemycins beta9 and beta10 from milbemycins A3 and A4. Their acaricidal activities were also assessed against the organophosphorus-sensitive two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) on primary leaves of cowpea plants (Vigna sinesis Savi species) by spraying.
