Ivermectin Chloride Channel activator

Name: Ivermectin
Brand: Selleck Chemicals
SKU: S1351
Availability: InStock
Rating: 5 (24 reviews)

Cat.No.S1351

Ivermectin is a glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCls) activator, used as a broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug. This compound is a specific positive allosteric effector of P2X4 and α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs). It is a specific inhibitor of Impα/β1-mediated nuclear import and has potent antiviral activity towards both HIV-1 and dengue virus. This chemical induces autophagy through the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and mitophagy.

Mechanism of Action

Targets/IC₅₀/Ki	chloride channel
In vitro	Ivermectin has potent antiviral activity towards both HIV-1 anddengue virus, both of which are strongly reliant on importin α/β nuclear import, with respect to the HIV-1 integrase and NS5 (non-structural protein 5) polymerase proteins respectively. This compound binds to a novel site on the GABAA receptor and allosterically enhances the affinity of the GABA binding site in mouse hippocampal embryonic neurons. It disrupts neurotransmission processes regulated by GluCl activity by binding to nematode glutamate-gated chloride channels (GluCls). This chemical decreases the amount of protein released from microfilariae.
In vivo	Ivermectin (1.25-10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) significantly reduces 24-h alcohol consumption and intermittent limited access (4-hours) binge drinking, and operant alcohol self-administration (1-h). This compound also produces a significant reduction in 24-h saccharin consumption, but does not alter operant sucrose self-administration. It improves mouse survival rate induced by a lethal dose of LPS. This chemical significantly decreases the production of TNF-alpha, IL-1ss and IL-6 in vivo and in vitro. It suppresses NF-kB translocation induced by LPS.
