22,23-Dihydroavermectin B1, ivermectin, derived from avermectin B1 by selective hydrogenation using Wilkinson's homogenous catalyst [Ph3P)3RhCl], was shown to be a highly effective drug for the treatment of a wide variety of metazoan parasitic diseases in animals.

Due to their broad-spectrum activities, ivermectin and moxidectin are widely used anthelminthics in veterinary and human medicine. However, ivermectin has recently been shown to perturbate bacterial growth. Given the macrolide-like structure of both ivermectin and moxidectin, there is a need to characterize the antibiotic spectrum of these anthelminthics and their potential implications in the development of cross-resistance to macrolides and other families of antibiotics.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common forms of malignancy worldwide. However, there is currently a lack of effective chemotherapeutic drugs for ESCC. Ivermectin is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug with notable antitumor activity.

Drug resistance is always a challenge in cancer treatment, whether for chemotherapy, targeting, or immunotherapy. Although tumor cell lines are derived from cancer patients, they gradually lost the original characteristics, including heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment (TME), during the long period of culturing. Therefore, it is urgent to use patient-derived tumor models instead of cancer cell lines to study tumor drug resistance.

Ivermectin is a widely used broad-spectrum antiparasitic agent employed in both companion animals and livestock. While generally safe for mammals, its acute and chronic toxicity has been proven in many nontarget fish and insect species at low concentrations. The present study aimed to develop, validate, and test a more accurate method for ivermectin detection in various matrices (feces, soil, and sewage) for environmental studies.

Avermectin (AVM) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic from the macrolide class, extensively employed in fisheries and aquaculture. Nevertheless, its indiscriminate utilisation has resulted in a substantial accumulation of remnants in the aquatic ecosystem, potentially inflicting significant harm to the cardiovascular system of aquatic species. Ferulic acid (FA) is a naturally occurring compound in wheat grain husks.
