'''Spinosad''' (spinosyn A and spinosyn D) are a new chemical class of ] that are registered by the ] (EPA) to control a variety of insects. The active ingredient is derived from a naturally occurring soil dwelling bacterium called ''Saccharopolyspora spinosa'', a rare ] reportedly collected from soil in an abandoned rum distillery on a Caribbean Island in 1982 by a scientist on vacation<ref>http://www.dowagro.com/PublishedLiterature/dh_005f/0901b8038005f580.pdf</ref>

. It has not been found in nature since that time, and was subsequently described as a new species. The bacteria produce compounds (metabolites) while in a fermentation broth. The first fermentation-derived compound was formulated in 1988. Spinosad has since been formulated into insecticides that combine the efficacy of a synthetic insecticide with the benefits of a ] organism.

==Mode of action==
| pronounce =
Spinosad kills susceptible species by causing rapid excitation of the insect ]. Due to this unique mode of action, Spinosad is valued in resistance management programs. Spinosad must be ingested by the insect, therefore it has little effect on non-target predatory insects. It is highly effective used as an oral anti-flea medication for dogs, and apparently has the potential for killing any blood-sucking insect.

== Uses ==
Spinosad shows low toxicity when ingested by mammals (male rat {{LD50}} = 3738&nbsp;mg/kg) and no additional adverse effects from chronic exposure. Studies on spinosad show slight toxicity to birds, moderate toxicity to fish, and slight to moderate toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. However, it is highly toxic to bees (honey bee ] = 11.5 ppm) and is highly toxic to oysters and other marine mollusks. Applications to areas where bees are actively foraging should be avoided. After the residues have dried, it is much less toxic to bees.
Spinosad has been used around the world for the control of a variety of insect pests, including ], ], ], ], ], and ], and many others.<ref name=eight>{{cite journal| vauthors = Sparks T, Dripps JE, Watson GB, Paroonagian D |title=Resistance and cross-resistance to the spinosyns- A review and analysis|journal=Pesticide Biochemistry and Physiology|volume=102|date=6 November 2012|issue=1 |pages=1–10|url=http://www.elsevier.com/locate/pest|access-date=17 November 2011|doi=10.1016/j.pestbp.2011.11.004|bibcode=2012PBioP.102....1S }}</ref> It was first registered as a pesticide in the United States for use on crops in 1997.<ref name=eight /> Its labeled use rate is set at 1 ppm (1&nbsp;mg a.i./kg of grain) and its maximum residue limit (MRL) or tolerance is set at 1.5 ppm. Spinosad's widespread commercial launch was deferred, awaiting final MRL or tolerance approvals in a few remaining grain-importing countries. It is considered a natural product, thus is approved for use in organic agriculture by numerous nations.<ref name=three /> Two other uses for spinosad are for pets and humans. Spinosad has been used in oral preparations (as Comfortis) to treat '']'', the cat flea, in canines and felines; the optimal dose set for canines is reported to be 30&nbsp;mg/kg.<ref name=four />

It is important to note that toxicity is based on the active ingredient tested; formulations of spinosad in common use today have a very small amount of spinosad active ingredient. In addition, non-target sensitivity is mitigated by the environmental characteristics of spinosad, including rapid dissipation in the water column, sorption and binding of residues with sediment and lack of bioaccumulation in living tissues.
Natroba is sold for treatment of human head lice.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.drugs.com/ingredient/spinosad.html |title=Spinosad - brand name list from |publisher=Drugs.com |access-date=20 October 2012}}</ref> Spinosad is also commonly used to kill ].<ref>{{cite report | vauthors = Bethke JA, Dreistadt SH, Varela LG, Phillips PA, O'Donnell CA | title = Thripsm | work = University of California Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program.

== Spinosyn A ==
Spinosad does not have any ] on ornamentals {{Citation needed|date=February 2008}} and is non-phytotoxic for most crops. It has a 4-hour ] reentry interval (REI).
Spinosyn A does not appear to interact directly with known insecticidal-relevant target sites, but rather acts via a novel mechanism.<ref name=two /> Spinosyn A resembles a ] and is comparable to the effect of ] on insect neurons.<ref name=five /> Spinosyn A is highly active against neonate ]e of the tobacco budworm, '']'', and is slightly more biologically active than {{Vanchor|Spinosyn D|text=spinosyn D}}. In general, spinosyns possessing a methyl group at C6 (spinosyn D-related analogs) tend to be more active and less affected by changes in the rest of the molecule.<ref name= six /> Spinosyn A is slow to penetrate to the internal fluids of larvae; it is also poorly metabolized once it enters the insect.<ref name=six /> The apparent lack of spinosyn A metabolism may contribute to its high level of activity, and may compensate for the slow rate of penetration.<ref name=six />
