    $31,845.80 - $53,406.00
    Selamectin is a semi-synthetic avermectin derivative prepared by selective hydrolysis and oximation of doramectin. Selamectin is a potent nematocide used for the treatment of endo- and exo- parasites of domestic animals, notably cats and dogs.

    Selamectin is soluble in ethanol, methanol, DMF and DMSO.
    Mechanism of ActionSelamectin selectively binds to parasite glutamate-gated chloride ion channels and disrupts neurotransmission leading to paralysis and death of the parasite.
