Structure-activity relationships (SARs) have been extensively studied, leading to development of a semisynthetic second-generation derivative, spinetoram.
The spinosyns have a unique mechanism of action (MOA) involving disruption of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Insect Biochem Mol Biol. 2009 Nov 26.

Strains of Drosophila melanogaster with resistance to the insecticides spinosyn A, spinosad, and spinetoram were produced by chemical mutagenesis.
The two strains that were initially characterized were subsequently found to have mutations in the gene encoding the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunit Dalpha6.
