Figure 1. Structure of Ivermectin and Analogs.

Figure 1.

The molecule is divided into four regions: the disaccharide, the lactone, the spiroketal, and the benzofuran. Different modifications to this structure at the positions R1, R2, and R3 give rise to ivermectin, abamectin, doramectin, eprinomectin, emamectin, moxidectin, and milbemycin.
