From the Desk of Principal

SVKM’s Institute of Pharmacy, Dhule is one of the

premier institute in the region of North
Maharashtra for quality education and has been
progressing at an exponential rate since 2017. The
ways we teach and the ways our students learn are
unique and creative. The knowledge base and
adaptability is high among today's students. The
entire calendar of events was diligently followed
with complete effective execution. Each festival
and occasions of importance to pharmacists were
celebrated in a big way. Many notable
achievements have been recorded since then. These
merits and credits have seldom been known to
public and the authority due to the lack of
showcasing or projecting through a medium. This
E-bulletin is a medium which will bridge the gap
Dr. Sameer Goyal between achievements and publicity.

Principal, SVKM's Institute of

Pharmacy, Dhule Dr. Sameer Goyal

Ivermectin is a Nobel Prize-winning wonder drug

William Campbell Satoshi Omura

Ivermectin is an over 30-year-old wonder drug that treats life and sight-threatening
parasitic infections. Its lasting influence on global health has been so profound that two of
the key researchers in its discovery and development won the Nobel Prize in 2015.
1. Developing ivermectin for animal use
Ivermectin was first identified in the 1970s during a veterinary drug-screening project at
Merck Pharmaceuticals. Researchers focused on discovering chemicals that could potentially
treat parasitic infections like nematodes, such as flatworms and roundworms, and
arthropods, such as fleas and lice in animals. Merck collaborated with the Kitasato Institute,
a medical research facility in Japan. Satoshi Omura and his team isolated a group of
chemicals called avermectin from bacteria found in a single soil sample near a Japanese golf
course. Research on avermectin continued for approximately five years. Soon, Merck and
the Kitasato Institute developed a less toxic form they named ivermectin. It was approved
in 1981 for commercial use in veterinary medicine for parasitic infections in livestock and
domestic pets with the brand name Mectizan.

2. Developing ivermectin for human use

Early experiments by William Campbell and his team from Merck discovered that the drug
also worked against a human parasite that causes an infection called river blindness. River
blindness, also known as onchocerciasis, is the second leading cause of preventable
blindness in the world. It is transmitted to humans from blackflies carrying the parasitic
worm Onchocerca volvulus and occurs predominantly in Africa. Ivermectin underwent
trials to treat river blindness in 1982 and was approved in 1987. These two decades of
extensive work to discover, develop and distribute ivermectin helped to significantly
reduce human suffering from river blindness. It's these efforts that were recognized by the
2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, awarded to both William Campbell and
Satoshi Omura for their leadership on this groundbreaking research.
