Property:
The melting point of Emamectin Benzoate
is141-146 șC. Emamectin is the 4”-deoxy-4”-methylamino
derivative of abamectin, a 16-membered macrycyclic lactone
produced by the fermentation of the soil actinomycete
Streptomyces avermitilis. Emamectin is generally prepared at
the salt with benzoic acid, emamectin benzoate, which is a
white or faintly yellow powder. Emamectin is widely used in
the US and Canada as an insecticide because of its chloride
channel activation properties.

Usage:
Emamectin is widely used in controlling
lepidopterous pests (order of insects that as larvae are
caterpillars and as adults have four broad wings
including butterflies, moths, and skippers) in
agricultural products in the US, Japan, Canada, and
recently Taiwan. The low-application rate of the active
ingredient needed (~6 g/acre) and broad-spectrum
applicability as an insecticide has gained emamectin
significant popularity among farmers.
Emamectin has been shown to possess a
greater ability to reduce the colonization success of
engraver beetles and associated wood borers in loblolly
pines (Pinus taeda L).6 A 2006 study regarding
bolt-injections of four types of pesticides found emamectin
to be the greatest reducer against these species with
respect to the amount of larval feeding, length, and number
of egg galleries.6 Formation of long vertical lesions in the
phloem and xylem surrounding emamectin injection points were
found indicating some level of tree-toxicity to the
emamectin.
A water-soluble preparation of emamectin in
polysorbate, acetone, and methanol was shown to prevent the
wilting of Japanese black pine trees inoculated with
pine-wood nematodes (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus). Previous
treatment of B xylophilus infections involved eradicating
the local population of Japanese pine sawyers associated
with the spread of the nematode.
Emamectin has also been successfully
employed by fish farmers in the control of sea lice in
Atlantic salmon. The United Kingdom, Chile, Ireland,
Iceland, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Spain, and Norway are
currently registered to use emamectin in their fish feed.
Removal of the afflicting sea louse represents an increase
in the integrity of their salmonid product due to the
subsequent reduction of bacterial and viral pathogens
possibly carried by the sea lice. Emamectin has shown
efficacy against all life-cycle stages of Lepeophtheirus
salmonis and Caligus elongates, preventing maturation to the
reproductive stage.
Most recently, 2009, avermectin compounds,
including emamectin, proved useful in pharmaceutical
applications in treating human dermatological diseases.
Emamectin was deemed a suitable means of treatment of the
chronic and progressive inflammatory dermatosis known as
rosacea. The pathogenesis of rosacea remains relatively
unknown.
A related dihydroxy avermectin B1 compound,
ivermectin, is utilized orally in humans as an acaricide and
insecticide for the treatment of strongyloidiasis and
onchocerciasis. Veterinarians also employ ivermectin in the
treatment of heartworms in dogs and other infestations.
