Abamectin is a potent macrocyclic lactone derived from *Streptomyces avermitilis*, widely used as a broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent in agriculture and veterinary medicine to control pests like mites, nematodes, and insects. It disrupts neurotransmission in invertebrates, leading to paralysis and death. This chemical has a CAS number of 71751-41-2, a molecular formula of C48H72O14, and a molecular weight of 873.1 g/mol. It must be stored at -15 to -20°C and carries a **Danger** signal word due to its high toxicity. Molekula supplies Abamectin from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
