General Information:

Ivermectin, also named dihydroavermectin, is a member of a group of naturally occurring macrocyclic lactones known as avermectins. The following compounds belong to the avermectines: abamectin, ivermectin, doramectin and eprinomectin. Ivermectin is frequently used to control parasites in many food producing animal species. It is a mixture of two homologues containing not less than 80% 22,23-dihydroavermectin B1a and not more than 20% 22,23-dihydroavermectin B1b. It is an exceptionally potent drug which exhibits a broad spectrum activity against parasites in many species. Within the European Union Maximum Residue Limits (MRL) for ivermectine have been established; based on the 22,23-dihydro-avermectin B1a marker residue. The Ivermectin ELISA is a competitive enzyme immunoassay based on antibodies directed against ivermectin.
