What is Ivermectin?
Ivermectin is a macrocyclic lactone derived from Streptomyces avermitilis. Acts on glutamate-gated chloride ion channels (GluCl) in invertebrates — a mechanism absent in vertebrates, conferring selective antiparasitic activity.
Additionally studied for antiviral activity (importin α/β nuclear transport inhibition), anti-inflammatory effects, and cancer cell proliferation inhibition. A versatile research compound across parasitology, virology, and oncology. Research use only.
