Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Ivermectin is a medication that is effective against many types of parasites. It is used to treat head lice, scabies, river blindness, strongyloidiasis, and lymphatic filariasis, among others. Ivermectin and other avermectins (insecticides most frequently used in home-use ant baits) are macrocyclic lactones derived from the bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis. Ivermectin kills by interfering with nervous system and muscle function, in particular by enhancing inhibitory neurotransmission. Ivermectin is a mixture of mostly avermectin H2B1a (CAS# 71827-03-7) with some avermectin H2B1b (CAS# 70209-81-3), which are macrolides from STREPTOMYCES avermitilis.

Biological target:
Ivermectin (MK-933) is a broad-spectrum anti-parasite agent that is a specific inhibitor for Impα/β1-mediated nuclear import and bovine herpesvirus1 (BoHV-1) and has potent antiviral activity towards both HIV-1 and dengue virus.
In vitro activity:
It was next explored whether ivermectin suppresses the migration and invasion, two important characteristic features involved in cancer metastasis including ESCC. In wound healing assay, upon treatment with 2.5 μmol/L ivermectin for 24 hours, the migration of KYSE150 and KYSE30 cells that was dramatically suppressed, the inhibition was further enhanced after incubation with ivermectin for 48 hours (Figure 3A). Consistent with these results, transwell migration assay revealed that the migrative ability was greatly attenuated by ivermectin at the concentration of 2.5 μmol/L in both tested ESCC cell lines (Figure 3B). It was also explored whether ivermectin has a inhibitory effect on ESCC cell invasion by using transwell invasion assay. Interestingly, the data showed that ivermectin strongly diminished the invasion of KYSE150 and KYSE30 cells, compared with corresponding control groups (Figure 3C). Consistently, the protein levels of MMP‐9 and MMP‐2, two important family members of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), were greatly down‐regulated in a dose‐dependent manner in both KYSE150 and KYSE30 cells (Figure 3D). Collectively, these data suggest that ivermectin effectively suppresses the migration and invasion of ESCC cells.

In vivo activity:
To evaluate the effect of ivermectin on canine mammary tumor growth in vivo, CIPp cells were injected subcutaneously into BALB/c nude mice to establish xenograft tumors. After 3 weeks of ivermectin administration by intraperitoneal injection, all xenograft tumors were collected (Fig. 5a and Additional file 1: Figure S1A). The volume of tumors in ivermectin treatment group was lower than that in the control group at the end of treatment (Fig. 5b and Additional file 1: Figure S1B). Furthermore, immunohistochemistry analysis with the proliferation marker Ki67 was performed in tumor tissues (Fig. 5c and Additional file 1: Figure S1C), and a significant difference was observed between these two groups (Fig. 5d and Additional file 1: Figure S1D) (P<0.01). These data were in concordance with our in vitro data, and confirmed the inhibition of tumor growth by ivermectin in canine mammary tumor cells.
