Properties
Pharmacological Properties in Animal Systems
Avermectin is a macrocyclic lactone compound with potent anthelmintic and insecticidal properties used widely in veterinary practice:
- Mechanism of Action: Enhances the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at nerve endings, leading to paralysis and death of parasites.
- Spectrum of Activity: Effective against a wide range of ectoparasites and endoparasites, including mites, lice, and gastrointestinal roundworms.
- Pharmacokinetics in Animals: Administered via injection or topical formulations. Rapidly absorbed and exhibits prolonged action due to lipophilicity.
- Stability in Formulations: Stable in solid and liquid dosage forms under recommended storage conditions.
Chemical Properties
- pH in Solution: Typically formulated at neutral to slightly acidic pH for injectable or topical applications.
- Thermal Stability: Stable under dry and cool storage; avoid exposure to high temperatures and humidity.
- Light Sensitivity: Light-sensitive; store in opaque containers to preserve activity.
- Hygroscopicity: Moderately hygroscopic; handle in low-humidity environments to prevent degradation.
- Solubility Characteristics: Poorly soluble in water; soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and propylene glycol.
Applications in Different Animal Species
Veterinary-grade Avermectin is used across species for effective parasite control:
- Cattle and Ruminants: Used to control gastrointestinal nematodes, lungworms, and ectoparasites.
- Swine: Treats mange mites, lice, and roundworm infestations effectively.
- Poultry: Applied under veterinary guidance for control of mites and other external parasites.
- Companion Animals: Used in dogs and cats in topical or oral formulations to treat and prevent parasite infestations.
