Liposomal Systems as Nanocarriers for the Antiviral Agent Ivermectin

Figure 6

Effect of free ivermectin on the viability of BHK (diamonds), Vero-118 (upward triangles), Vero-F (squares), and RAW (downward triangles) cell lines (a). For comparison, in (b), the experiments are reported, conducted using 2′-c-methylcytidine, employed as reference antiviral compound, on BHK (diamonds), Vero-118 (upward triangles), and RAW (downward triangles) cell lines. (c) Optical microphotograph of Vero-118 ((A), (B), and (C)) and BHK ((D), (E), and (F)) cells treated with the indicated concentration of ivermectin. Data represent the average of 2 experiments.
