How it works
Ivermectin works by interfering with muscle function and nerve of insects and helminths in invertebrates? nerve and muscle cell glutamate-gated chloride channel re common and ivermectin bind to it. The opening of these channels is enhanced, increasing the flow of chloride ions, and it causes hyperpolarization of the cell membrane. The invertebrates are killed as hyperpolarization causes paralysis of the affected tissue. Ivermectin cannot cross the blood-brain barrier.

Ivermectin binds to it, preventing interaction with IMP ?1; it also targets the IMP? component of the IMP ?/?1 heterodimer, blocking nuclear transport of proteins. Thus the normal cells can carry its antiviral function.
