球孢交酯是从昆虫病原真菌| Beauveria |和黄萎病菌中分离出来的环八肽肽杀虫剂，1978年东京大学的研究人员首次报道。杀虫剂与杀虫和杀线虫活性成分，PF1022复合物和合成的驱虫药e麻苷有关。虽然巴香精内酯的作用方式尚未完全解决，但人们认为它会像神经调节剂一样作用于神经肌肉接头水平的离子通道上。球孢交酯是球孢白僵菌生物防治产品的活性成分之一。 Bassianolide is a cyclooctadepsipeptide insecticide isolated from the entomopathogenic fungi,|Beauveria|and|Verticillium lecanii|, first reported by researchers at University of Tokyo in 1978. Bassianolide is related to the insecticidal and nematocidal actives, PF1022 complex and the synthetic anthelminthic emodepside. While the mode of action of bassianolide is not fully resolved, it is thought to act on ion channels at the level of the neuromuscular junction, like emodepside. Bassianolide is one of the active components of|Beauveria bassiana|biocontrol products.
