1.Anti-infective agents:
F.ANTHELMINTICS:
Anthelmintics or anti-helminthics are a group of anti-
parasitic drugs that expel parasitic worm and other
internal parasites.
The term anthelmintic is restricted to drugs acting locally to expel
parasites from gastro intestinal tract. There are several types of worms
which penetrate other tissues, drugs which act on these parasitic
infections are also known as anthelmintics.The worm parasites of man
belong to two phyla: Nemathelminthes (round- worms) and
platyhelminthes (flatworms). The roundworms include hookworm,
whipworm, pinworm Strongyloides stercoralis, Trichinella spiralis and
Wuchereria bancrofti.
CLASSIFICATION
Anthelmintics are classified based upon their chemical structures.
1.Piperazines:: ex.. Diethylcarbamazine , Piperazine citrate.
2.Benzimidazoles: ex. Albendazole, Mebendazole, Thiabendazole.
3.Heterocyclics: ex. Oxamniquine, Praziquantel.
4.Natural products: ex. Ivermectin, Avermectin.
5. vinyl pyrimidines: ex. Pyrantel, Oxantel.
6.Amide: ex. Niclosamide .
piperazine citrate
Synthesis:
The two molecules of aminoethanol converted as a
piperazine with loss of two molecules of
water.Afterpiperazine react with citric acid to form a
piperazinecitrate.Example of piperazine derivative
compound in the anthelmintics drug is called DEC(Diethyl
carbamazepine).
