Notes: Moxidectin-d3 is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of moxidectin (Item No. 17165) by GC- or LC-MS. Moxidectin is a macrocyclic lactone endectocide and a derivative of nemadectin.{28538,45405} It reduces fecal nematode egg counts by 98.4 and 99.8% in naturally infected calves when administered subcutaneously at doses of 0.2 and 0.3 mg/kg, respectively.{45405} Moxidectin (0.2 and 0.3 mg/kg) reduces worm burden of O. ostertagi and T. axei in the abomasum, and Cooperia species and N. helvetianus in the small intestine, of naturally infected calves. It potentiates GABA-gated currents in Xenopus oocytes expressing rat α1β2γ2 subunit-containing GABAA receptors with an EC50 value of 11.8 nM.{45406} Formulations containing moxidectin have been used in the treatment of onchocerciasis, as well as in the prevention and treatment of parasitic infections in veterinary medicine.
