Ivermectin is a macrolide endectocide with activity against both endoparasites and ectoparasites [1]. Ivermectin disrupts neurotransmission in nerve and muscle cells, causing hyperpolarisation of the neuronal membrane, inducing paralysis of somatic muscles, particularly the pharyngeal pump, killing the parasites [2]. Ivermectin has been widely used to inhibit parasitic infections and kill viruses[3].
In vitro, Ivermectin treatment for 48 hours significantly inhibited the proliferation of C6 cells and U251 cells, with IC50 values of 16.32µM and 14.58µM, respectively[4]. 2.5µM of Ivermectin treatment for 72 hours reduced the proliferation of Pseudorabies virus (PRV) in BHK-21 cells and inhibited the entry of PRV DNA polymerase auxiliary subunit UL42 into the cell nucleus[5].
In vivo, Ivermectin treatment via oral administration at a dose of 0.2mg/kg twice a week for 5 weeks significantly increased the expression level of Cyp 3a11 in the liver of mice and the mRNA level of Cyp 1a1 in the intestine [6]. Intraperitoneal injection of a 3mg/kg dose of Ivermectin every other day for 30 days, which significantly inhibited tumor growth in the ovarian cancer xenograft mouse model, without affecting the body weight of the mice[7].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
|
Cell lines |
C6 cells |
|
Preparation Method |
C6 cells were seeded at a density of 8×103 cells/well in a 96-well plate and cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 1% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin and streptomycin for 24h. C6 cells were subsequently treated with different concentrations of Ivermectin (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20µM) for 48h. Cell viability was analyzed. |
|
Reaction Conditions |
0, 5, 10, 15, and 20µM; 48h |
|
Applications |
Ivermectin treatment significantly reduced the cell viability of C6 cells in a dose-dependent manner. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
|
Animal models |
NOD/SCID mice |
|
Preparation Method |
Ten million PA-1 cells suspended in 100μl of PBS were injected subcutaneously into NOD/SCID mice. After the development of palpable tumors, the mice were randomized into 4 treatment groups (n=10 each group): vehicle control (80%/20% saline/DMSO), Ivermectin at 3mg/kg on alternating days via intraperitoneal injection, cisplatin at 1mg/kg twice per week via intraperitoneal injection. Mice were treated with the drugs for 30 days and then euthanized via CO2 inhalation. Tumor length and width were measured every 3 days, and tumor volume was calculated using the formula: width2×length /2. |
|
Dosage form |
3mg/kg; every other day for 30 days; i.p. |
|
Applications |
Ivermectin treatment significantly inhibited tumor growth in the PA-1 xenograft mouse model. |
