Description:

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

Milbemycin A3 Oxime is an opener of glutamate sensitive chloride channels in neurons of invertebrates, leading to paralysis by hyperpolarisation of these cells and blocking signal transfer. Milbemycin A3 Oxime is also an anthelmintic. Formulations containing milbemycin A3 oxime, in combination with milbemycin A4 oxime, have been used in the treatment of parasitic infections in dogs.

Product Data
Biological target:
Milbemycin A3 Oxime is an opener of glutamate sensitive chloride channels.
In vitro activity:
The neuropharmacological mechanisms underlying the action of milbemycin oxime on the motility of Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Dirofilaria immitis were examined in vitro. In A. cantonensis, milbemycin oxime caused inhibitory effects at low concentrations of > or = 10(-9) g/ml, and paralysis was elicited at 10(-8) - 10(-6) g/ml. Reference: Parasitol Res. 1992;78(4):349-53. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1409536/
In vivo activity:
The activities of the synthesized compounds were studied in dogs naturally infested with microfilariae of Dirofilaria immitis. The 5-keto-5-oximes of milbemycin D (7), A4 (8) and A3 (9) had quite high efficacy to control the microfilariae and more potency than their parents, while the 5-O-acyl oximes (11-15) also exhibited high activity.

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
