Product Overview
Moxidectin, a macrocyclic lactone of the milbemycin class, is a semisynthetic derivative of nemadectin, which is a fermentation product of the bacterium Streptomyces cyanogriseus subsp. noncyanogenus.
Due to economic and environmental advantages as well as to the development of new genetic engineering techniques, the fermentation is the most used process at industrial scale. As a global leader, Creative Biogene specializes in providing comprehensive and advanced moxidectin fermentation technologies. Different methods like mutation and screening, genetic engineering, media optimization and biocatalyst conversion have been used for the improvement of the production of moxidectin. Creative Biogene can also provide custom moxidectin fermentation services. Tell us about your project and we will be glad to help!

Description
Moxidectin is an anthelmintic drug used in animals to prevent or control parasitic worms (helminths), such as heartworm and intestinal worms, in dogs, cats, horses, cattle and sheep. Moxidectin kills some of the most common internal and external parasites by selectively binding to a parasite's glutamate-gated chloride ion channels. These channels are vital to the function of invertebrate nerve and muscle cells; when moxidectin binds to the channels, it disrupts neurotransmission, resulting in paralysis and death of the parasite.
