Streptomyces hygroscopicus subsp. aureolacrimosus SANK 60286 produces
a new family of milbemycins, named milbemycins alpha11, beta12, alpha1
3, alpha14 and alpha15, together with other milbemycins. Their structu
res are 3-methyl-2-butenoyloxy and 3-methylbutyroyloxy derivatives at
C-4a of milbemycins A3 and A4, or 3-methyl-2-pentenoyloxy derivative a
t C-4a of milbemycin A3, respectively. Milbemycin alpha14, 3-methyl-2-
butenoyloxy derivative, especially possesses a potent acaricidal activ
ity.
