Helminthiasis is more common in developing countries with poorer personal and environmental hygiene. They harm the host by depriving him of food, causing blood loss, injury to organs, intestinal or lymphatic obstruction and by secreting toxins.
Helminthiasis is rarely fatal, but is a major cause of ill health. Anthelminthic Drugs Copyrights www. The helminths comprise two major Groups: 1. Nemathelminths Nematodes - roundworms 2. Classification of Anthelmintic Drugs Copyrights www. Piperazines Piperazine is an organic compound that consists of a six-membered ring containing two opposing nitrogen atoms.
Piperazine compounds mediate their anthelmintic action by generally paralyzing parasites, allowing the host body to easily remove or expel the invading organism. Not recommended for other helminthes infestation. Administered as citrate or phosphate salts. Copyrights www. Synthesis of Diethylcarbamazine citrate Copyrights www. These are versatile Anthelmintic agents particularly effective against gastrointestinal nematodes.
These are highly effective against ascaris, enterobius, trichuris and hookworm infections. The first of this class, Thiabendazole, was discovered in and subsequently a number of further Benzimidazoles were introduced as broad spectrum Anthelmintics. Thiabendazole effective against threadworm, cutaneous larva migrans, and early stage of trichinosis. Thiabendazole has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic actions. Mebendazole is a synthetic benzimidazole that has a wide spectrum of Anthelmintic activity and a low incidence of adverse effects.
It is a drug of choice in the treatment of infections by whipworm eggs, pinworm, hookworms, and roundworm. Albendazole, a broad-spectrum oral Anthelmintic agent. It is the drug of choice for treatment of hydatid disease and cysticercosis. It is also used in the treatment of pinworm and hookworm, round worm, whip worm, and thread worm infections. Mechanism of action: Benzimidazoles probably acts by inhibiting microtubule synthesis.
In addition Benzimidazole probably blocks glucose uptake in parasite and depletes its glycogen stores. Synthesis of Mebendazole Copyrights www. Oxamniquine is a tetrahydroquinoline that is effective in S. Oxamniquine is used only to treat schistosomiasis caused by the worm Schistosoma mansoni. Oxamniquine may associate with an irreversible inhibition of the nucleic acid metabolism of the parasites. Oxamniquine It is a Novel Anthelmintic.
Praziquantel Copyrights www. It is a Macrocylic lactone antibiotics. Ivermectin is the drug of choice for the treatment of onchocerciasis river blindness caused by Onchocerca volvulus. Ivermectin : It is a Salicylanilide derivative. It is used to treat tapeworm infestations.
