Product Description
Spinosad is a bioneurotoxic insecticide with a broader spectrum of action, a blend of spinosyns A and D, which is a fermentation product of soil actinomycetes. Spinosad targets nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the insect nervous system. Spinosad has an excellent environmental and mammalian toxicology profile. Has larvae-killing activity.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
By attaching to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), the archetypal unit that functions as a neurotransmitter ligand-gated ion channel, spinosad binds to acetylcholine (Ach) and acts as an allosteric agonist of Ach [4].
ln Vivo
The pedicidal tetracyclic macrolides Spinosad A and Spinosad D are naturally occurring together to form Spinosad. 0.9% Spinosad predominantly disrupts nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in insects, causing neuronal excitation that, after sustained overexcitation, causes lice to become paralyzed owing to neuromuscular fatigue. Both permethrin-sensitive and -resistant lice populations are eliminated with spinosad 0.9%. Moreover, it possesses ovicidal qualities that cause lice and their eggs to die [5]. In vivo oxidation is induced in the Nile tilapia brain by spinosad. Spinosad increases GSH/GSSG, Hsp70, tGSH, and GPx activities while decreasing the ratio of GSH/GSSG and GPx activities. It also causes glutathione reductase activity to be induced. Spinosad alters the characteristics of the GSH-related antioxidant system and Hsp70, which results in oxidative effects on brain tissue [6].

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 10 mg/mL (6.77 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1 mg/mL (0.68 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL of Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL of normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: 1 mg/mL (0.68 mM) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution; with ultrasonication.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 3: ≥ 1 mg/mL (0.68 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% Corn Oil (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 10.0 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of corn oil and mix evenly.

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:

  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
