Ivermectin derivatives are chemical compounds derived from Ivermectin, a medication primarily used to treat parasitic infections in humans and animals. These derivatives are modified versions of the original compound, designed to enhance efficacy, reduce side effects, or target specific parasites more effectively. Research into Ivermectin derivatives has expanded their potential applications, including antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. Scientists are exploring these compounds for use against various diseases, including some caused by viruses and other pathogens, broadening the scope of treatment options available in modern medicine.
