Azadirachtin is a naturally occurring tetranortriterpenoid derived from neem tree (Azadirachta indica) seeds. It acts as an insect growth regulator (IGR), antifeedant, and repellent, disrupting molting and development in insect larvae. It is used as a biopesticide in organic farming, providing broad-spectrum insect control with minimal environmental impact. It has other Chemical name as (1R,2S,3S,6R,7S,8R,10R,11S,12S,19R)-10-acetoxy-3,7,12,14,15,17,20-heptahydroxy-2,11-dimethoxy-4,16-dioxo-6,7,8,10,12,14,15,16,17,18,19,20-dodecahydro-1H-3,19-epoxyazadirachtin.
