    Background

    Ivermectin is a positive allosteric modulator of the ATP-activated ion channel, P2X purinoceptor 4 (P2X4), as well as the α7 neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) (1,2). The α7-nAChR is required for the cytokine suppressing mechanism of the inflammatory reflex and it stimulates activation of calcium ion transport. Impairment of the α7-nAChR can lead to overproduction of cytokines and a heightened inflammatory response (3). Ivermectin is a known anthelmintic agent, activating the glutamate-gated chloride channels in the nerves and muscles of parasites. The disruption of the parasite’s ingestive activity eventually leads to starvation (4). Ivermectin has been shown to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro with an IC50 value of ~2 μM (5).
