Emamectin is the 4"-deoxy-4"-methylamino derivative of Abamectin, a 16-membered macrocyclic lactone produced by the fermentation of soil actinomycete Streptomyces avermitilis. It is generally prepared at the salt with benzoic acid, emamectin benzoate, which is a white or faintly yellow powder.

This organic matter is widely used in the US and Canada as an insecticide because of its chloride channel activation properties.
