Spinosad is a naturally derived insecticide-class topical pediculicide consisting of spinosyn A and D, fermentation products of the soil actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa, used for the treatment of head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) infestation. It acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and GABA-gated chloride channels in insects, causing neuronal hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death of lice without significant mammalian toxicity. Its novel mechanism provides activity against permethrin-resistant lice strains.
