概覽

伊維菌素是一種典型的​阿維菌素類 (avermectin)​ 抗寄生蟲藥物,廣泛應用於多種獸醫物種。它是一種巨環內酯類衍生物,對廣泛的線蟲和節肢動物具有高度療效。

​主要臨床重點:​

  • ​FDA 核准用途:​ 犬貓的心絲蟲預防;牛、豬、馬、馴鹿和野牛的胃腸道線蟲、肺蟲、牛皮蠅蛆、蝨子和蟎蟲治療。
  • ​標示外用途:​ 微絲蟲殺滅劑、緩慢殺滅成蟲療法(通常與多西環素併用),以及小動物的全身性毛囊蟲症和疥癬治療。
  • ​基因敏感性:​ 對於帶有 ​ABCB1-1Δ(原稱 MDR1)​ 基因突變的犬種(例如牧羊犬、澳洲牧羊犬、喜樂蒂牧羊犬、長毛惠比特犬等)需極度謹慎。這些犬隻的血腦屏障缺乏具功能的 P-醣蛋白幫浦,在用於治療疥癬或微絲蟲的常規劑量下,可能導致嚴重甚至致命的中樞神經系統毒性。
  • ​毒性概況:​ 在低劑量的心絲蟲預防用藥下通常是安全的(即使是 MDR1 突變犬隻),但在高劑量或與 P-醣蛋白抑制劑併用時,神經毒性風險會顯著增加。

作用機制

Ivermectin exerts its antiparasitic effect by binding selectively and with high affinity to glutamate-gated chloride channels which occur in invertebrate nerve and muscle cells.

  • ​Primary Mechanism:​ Binds to glutamate-gated chloride channels → increases cell membrane permeability to chloride ions → hyperpolarization of the nerve or muscle cell → flaccid paralysis and death of the parasite.
  • ​Secondary Mechanism:​ Enhances the release of ​gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)​ at presynaptic neurons. GABA acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter → blocks post-synaptic stimulation → paralysis.

​Pharmacology Pearl:​ Because flukes (trematodes) and tapeworms (cestodes) do not utilize GABA as a peripheral nerve transmitter and lack glutamate-gated chloride channels, ivermectin is completely ineffective against these parasites. Mammals generally lack glutamate-gated chloride channels, and mammalian GABA receptors are confined to the CNS, which ivermectin does not readily cross (unless the P-glycoprotein pump is defective or overwhelmed), providing a wide margin of safety.

安全性與警告

禁忌症

  • Foals less than 4 months old (manufacturer recommendation)
  • Puppies less than 6 weeks old
  • Breeds susceptible to ABCB1-1Δ (MDR1) mutation at high doses (unless tested normal)
  • Chelonians (turtles, tortoises)
  • Indigo snakes
  • Skinks
  • Lactating dairy animals (no milk withdrawal established)
  • Females of breeding age (cattle/swine, per label)
  • Dogs with the MDR1 (ABCB1) gene mutation (unless using strictly at low heartworm preventative doses)
  • Chelonians (turtles and tortoises) - causes fatal flaccid paralysis
  • Kittens under 16 weeks of age (for topical ear gel)
  • Use of concentrated livestock formulations in small animals

不良反應

  • Horses: Ventral midline swelling and pruritus (hypersensitivity to dying Onchocerca microfilariae)
  • Dogs: Shock-like reaction (when used as microfilaricide), depression, hypothermia, vomiting
  • Dogs (MDR1/Toxicity): Ataxia, lethargy, hypersalivation, mydriasis, tremors, seizures, blindness, coma
  • Cats: Agitation, vocalization, anorexia, mydriasis, rear limb paresis, tremors, disorientation, blindness
  • Cattle: Paralysis/staggering or salivation/bloat (if Hypoderma bovis larvae are killed in vital areas), injection site swelling
  • Birds: Lethargy, anorexia, death (especially in finches and budgerigars)
  • Neurotoxicity (ataxia, tremors, mydriasis, blindness, coma, death) - especially in MDR1-mutant dogs
  • Bradycardia

注意事項

​MDR1 Gene Mutation Warning:​ Ivermectin is actively transported out of the CNS by the P-glycoprotein pump. Dogs with the ABCB1-1Δ (formerly MDR1) mutation have a defective pump, allowing ivermectin to accumulate in the brain, causing severe neurotoxicity. Always test susceptible breeds (Collies, Shelties, Australian Shepherds, Long-haired Whippets, 'white feet' breeds) before using extra-label high doses. Heartworm preventative doses are generally safe.

  • ​Species Sensitivities:​ Highly toxic to chelonians (turtles/tortoises), indigo snakes, and skinks. Finches and budgerigars are highly sensitive.
  • ​Cattle Grubs:​ Treating cattle for Hypoderma bovis when larvae are migrating through the spinal canal or esophagus can cause severe host reactions (paralysis or bloat) due to larval death in vital areas.
  • ​Food Animal Withdrawal:​ Strict adherence to slaughter withdrawal times is required. Not approved for lactating dairy animals.
  • ​Administration:​ Injectable products for cattle and swine are for SC use only; do not administer IM or IV.

監測

  • Adverse effects/toxicity (especially neurologic signs: ataxia, mydriasis, tremors)

藥物動力學

半衰期

Approximately 1-2 days2 days

吸收

In simple-stomached animals, up to 95% absorbed after oral administration. Ruminants only absorb 1/4-1/3 of a dose due to rumen inactivation. SC administration has greater bioavailability, but oral dosing is absorbed more rapidly. Bioavailability is lower in cats than in dogs.

分佈

Well distributed to most tissues. Does not readily penetrate the CSF in normal animals, minimizing toxicity. Dogs with the ABCB1-1Δ (MDR1) gene defect allow more ivermectin into the CNS. Volume of distribution: Cattle 0.45-2.4 L/kg; Dogs 2.4 L/kg; Swine 4 L/kg; Sheep 4.6 L/kg.

代謝

Metabolized in the liver via oxidative pathways.

排除

Primarily excreted in the feces. Less than 5% of the drug (parent compound or metabolites) is excreted in the urine.

過量

​Clinical Signs of Toxicity:​

  • ​Dogs:​ Vomiting, ataxia, lethargy, tachycardia, hypersalivation, mydriasis, tremors, and seizures. In non-sensitive breeds, signs rarely occur at ≤ 1 mg/kg. Mydriasis occurs at 2.5 mg/kg, tremors at 5 mg/kg, severe tremors/ataxia at 10 mg/kg. LD50 is 80 mg/kg. In MDR1-sensitive breeds, severe signs can develop within 4 hours at much lower doses.
  • ​Cats:​ Agitation, vocalization, anorexia, mydriasis, rear limb paresis, tremors, disorientation, blindness, head pressing, wall climbing. Margin of safety is narrower in kittens (signs seen at 300 mcg/kg).
  • ​Large Animals:​ Horses show visual impairment, depression, ataxia at 2 mg/kg. Cattle show ataxia and listlessness at 8 mg/kg. Swine show lethargy, ataxia, tremors, lateral recumbency at 30 mg/kg.

​Treatment:​

  • ​Decontamination:​ Emptying the gut should be considered for recent massive oral ingestions. Repeated doses of activated charcoal are advised to interrupt enterohepatic recirculation.
  • ​Supportive Care:​ Symptomatic and supportive therapy for CNS, GI, and cardiovascular effects.
  • ​Advanced Therapy:​ ​Intravenous Lipid Emulsion (IVFE)​ therapy has been used successfully to facilitate clearance of ivermectin due to its highly lipophilic nature.
