Eprinomectin Structure

Synonyms: Eprinomectin, MK-397, 4”-epi-acetylamino-4”-deoxy-avermectin B1, Eprinex, Ivomec Eprinex, LongRange

Eprinomectin has become a preferred macrocyclic lactone for formulators targeting both internal and external parasites in livestock, particularly in dairy cattle where zero milk withdrawal is a decisive advantage. As resistance to older avermectins and milbemycins continues to spread, demand for this molecule has grown steadily across the animal health sector, especially in pour-on and injectable product lines.

Chemically, eprinomectin is a semi-synthetic derivative of avermectin B1, modified at the 4”-position of the oleandrose sugar moiety with an epi-acetylamino group. This structural change enhances its potency against a broad spectrum of nematodes and arthropods while maintaining an excellent safety profile in target animals. It is produced via fermentation of Streptomyces avermitilis followed by chemical derivatization.

LyvBio supplies eprinomectin with a minimum assay of 95.0% (HPLC), a standard suitable for veterinary drug manufacturing and research applications. Our material is manufactured under cGMP conditions, ensuring consistent quality and full regulatory documentation for global markets.

Product Overview & Composition

Eprinomectin is a mixture of two homologues, B1a and B1b, typically in a ratio of approximately 90:10. The active ingredient is the 4”-epi-acetylamino derivative, which confers improved antiparasitic activity and a favorable pharmacokinetic profile. The product is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder, practically insoluble in water but freely soluble in most organic solvents.

Applications & Product Lines

  • Dairy cattle pour-on: For control of gastrointestinal roundworms, lungworms, grubs, lice, and mange mites, with zero milk withdrawal.
  • Beef cattle injectables: For treatment and control of internal and external parasites.
  • Sheep and goat formulations: Effective against a range of nematodes and ectoparasites.
  • Companion animal products: Used in spot-on and oral formulations for dogs and cats.
  • Research and reference standards: For analytical method development and quality control.
