Peptide Class: Antiparasitic Agent / Macrocyclic Lactone Compound
OVERVIEW
Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic compound derived from avermectins, which are produced by the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. It is not a peptide, but a macrocyclic lactone widely studied and used in both veterinary and human medicine.
Ivermectin is primarily researched and utilized for its effectiveness against a variety of parasitic organisms, including nematodes and ectoparasites. It works by targeting the nervous system of parasites, leading to paralysis and death.
In laboratory environments, Ivermectin is studied in models related to parasitology, infectious disease, and ion channel modulation.
POTENTIAL RESEARCH BENEFITS
Ivermectin is commonly studied for its potential role in:
Antiparasitic Activity
Investigated for its effectiveness against a wide range of parasitic organisms.
Ion Channel Modulation
Studied for its interaction with glutamate-gated chloride channels in parasites.
Infectious Disease Models
Researched in various models involving parasitic infections.
Vector Control Research
Explored for its potential role in reducing parasite transmission.
Cellular Transport Mechanisms
Examined for its influence on membrane permeability and ion flow.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
Ivermectin functions by targeting specific ion channels in parasites.
Research suggests it may:
Bind to glutamate-gated chloride channels in nerve and muscle cells of parasites
Increase permeability to chloride ions
Cause hyperpolarization of cell membranes
Lead to paralysis and death of parasites
Exhibit selective toxicity toward parasites over host cells
Because of these mechanisms, Ivermectin is frequently studied in parasitology and pharmacology research.

STORAGE:
To maintain product stability and quality:
Store the lyophilized peptide at -20°C for long-term storage.
Short-term storage may be maintained at 2–8°C (refrigerated).
Keep the vial dry, sealed, and protected from light.
Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles, as this may reduce peptide stability.
Once reconstituted, solutions should be stored refrigerated and used within a short timeframe according to laboratory protocols.
For Research Use Only
Not intended for human consumption, medical, or veterinary use.
