• DEFINITION
•CLASSIFICATION
•DRUGS
Mr. Naga Prashant Koppuravuri, M.Pharm (Ph.D), FAGE.,
Assistant Professor,
Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
DEFINITION
Are the agents which are used to
destroy (or) eliminate parasitic
worms (HELMINTH) from the GIT.
act by killing (or) paralysing the
worms.
So that such worms could be easily
expelled out of gut.
REPRODUCTION
 These parasitic worms firmly hold the intestinal mucosa and
continue their reproduction by egg production.
 They harm the host by depriving them of
 Food
 Causing blood loss
 Injury to organs
 Intestinal & lymphatic
obstruction
 Secreting toxins
■ Adult filariae live in the lymphatics,
connective tissue or mesentery of host and
produce live embryos or microfilariae,
which goes to blood stream.
■ They are ingested by mosquitoes or similar
insects, they develop to larvae in
secondary host and pass to mouth parts of
insect and
re-injected to humans
TYPES OFWORMS
■ Cestodes (tape worm)
■ Nematodes (round worm)
■ Trematodes (Flukes)
Ascaris lumbricoids ( common round worm)
filariasis
Hookworm
Pinworm male ,female
Tapeworm
whipworm
TYPES OF ANTHELMINTICS
■ Depending upon the action, anthelmintics can be categorised
into
■Vermifuges expel the worms
from the body
■Vermicides kill the worms in
the body
Chemical Classification
1. Benzimidazoles- mebendazole, albendazole thiabendazole.
2. Quinolines & isoquinolines- oxaminiquine praziquantel.
3. Pierazine derivatives- piperazine, diethylcarbamazine.
4. Vinyl pyrimidines- Pyrantel pamoate, oxantel
5. Amides- Niclosamide
6. Natural products- Ivermectin
7. Organo phosphorous compounds- Metrifonate
8. Imidazolothiazoles-Levimazole
9. Nitro derivatives-Niridazole
MEBENDAZOLE
■ Vermox
■ Methyl-5-benzoyl-2-benzimidazolyl carbamate.
■ MOA- It irreversibly blocks glucose uptake in susceptible
helminths, therby depleting glycogen stored in the parasite.
■ It does not affect glucose metabolism in the host.

MECHANISMOF ACTION
 bind with β-tubulin and inhibit microtubule polymerization.
 β-tubulin is the precursor of formation of microtubules.Thereby
arrest in cell division in nematodes.
■Biochemical Changes
■Inhibition of mitochondrial fumerate reductase
■Reduced glucose transport
■Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation
THIABENDAZOLE (cont)
■It has a broad spectrum anthelmintic activity.
■Used to treat
■Enterobiasis (thread worm)
■Ascariasis (round worm)
■Trichuriasis (whip worm)
■In addition to its use in human medicine, it is
widely employed in vertinary practice to control
helminths.

■ It increases cell membrane permeability of susceptible worms,
resulting in loss of intracellular calcium and loss of extracellular
sodium.

■ Massive contractions & ultimate
paralysis of the fluke musculature occurs.
■ The worms lose grip of intestinal mucosa
and are expelled.
■ USE- It has become the agent of choice
for the treatment of infections caused by
fluke infections
PIPERAZINE CITRATE
 Artheriticine, Dispermin
 MOA: It blocks the response of the ascaris muscle to acetyl
choline, causing the flaccid paralysis in the worm, which is
dislodged from the intestinal wall and expelled in the feces.
 Highly effective againstAscaris lumbricoides & Enterobius
vermicularis.(Round worm & thread worm)

Mechanism Of Action
■Immobilizes microfilariae and alters their surface structure,displacing them from
tissues & making them susceptible to destruction by host defense mechanism
■ It has immunosuppressive effects
■Filariasis and ascariasis
Pyrantel Pamoate Pin-X
Oxentel
Oxantel pamoate is an agonist of the acetylcholine receptors in the
muscle of nematodes and causes paralysis.
NICLOSAMIDE
■ Cestocide, Mansonil,Yomesan
■ 5-chloro-N-(2-chloro
-4 nitrophenyl)-2-hydroxy
benzamide
■ MOA:The drug inhibits anerobic phosphorylation ofADP
by the mitochondria of the parasite, and interfering with
anerobic generation of ATP by theTape worm.
■ So it inhibits seperation and blocking glucose absorption
by the intestinal nematode function.

Anthelmintics

  • 1. ANTHELMINTICS • DEFINITION •CLASSIFICATION •DRUGS Mr. Naga Prashant Koppuravuri, M.Pharm (Ph.D), FAGE., Assistant Professor, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
  • 2. DEFINITION Are the agents which are used to destroy (or) eliminate parasitic worms (HELMINTH) from the GIT. act by killing (or) paralysing the worms. So that such worms could be easily expelled out of gut.
  • 3. REPRODUCTION  These parasitic worms firmly hold the intestinal mucosa and continue their reproduction by egg production.  They harm the host by depriving them of  Food  Causing blood loss  Injury to organs  Intestinal & lymphatic obstruction  Secreting toxins
  • 4. ■ Adult filariae live in the lymphatics, connective tissue or mesentery of host and produce live embryos or microfilariae, which goes to blood stream. ■ They are ingested by mosquitoes or similar insects, they develop to larvae in secondary host and pass to mouth parts of insect and re-injected to humans
  • 5. TYPES OFWORMS ■ Cestodes (tape worm) ■ Nematodes (round worm) ■ Trematodes (Flukes)
  • 6. Ascaris lumbricoids ( common round worm)
  • 12. TYPES OF ANTHELMINTICS ■ Depending upon the action, anthelmintics can be categorised into ■Vermifuges expel the worms from the body ■Vermicides kill the worms in the body
  • 13. Chemical Classification 1. Benzimidazoles- mebendazole, albendazole thiabendazole. 2. Quinolines & isoquinolines- oxaminiquine praziquantel. 3. Pierazine derivatives- piperazine, diethylcarbamazine. 4. Vinyl pyrimidines- Pyrantel pamoate, oxantel 5. Amides- Niclosamide 6. Natural products- Ivermectin 7. Organo phosphorous compounds- Metrifonate 8. Imidazolothiazoles-Levimazole 9. Nitro derivatives-Niridazole
  • 14.
  • 15.
  • 16. MEBENDAZOLE ■ Vermox ■ Methyl-5-benzoyl-2-benzimidazolyl carbamate. ■ MOA- It irreversibly blocks glucose uptake in susceptible helminths, therby depleting glycogen stored in the parasite. ■ It does not affect glucose metabolism in the host. N H N NH COCH3 O C
  • 17. USES ■ Effective against ■ Whip worm (Trichuria ) ■ Pin worm(Enterobius vermicularis) ■ Hook worm ■ Ascaris lumbricoides
  • 18. SYNTHESIS C SCH3 H2N NH ClCOOCH3 S-methyl thio urea methyl chloro formate C SCH3 H2N NCOOCH3 NaOH PH 8 Methyl-s-methyl thio urea carbamate STEP 1 STEP 2 O C Cl 4-Chloro benzo phenone HNO3 O C Cl NO2 NH3 O C NH2 H2-Pd-C NO2 O C NH2 NH2 C SCH3 H2N NCOOCH3 O C N H N NHCOOCH3 -NH3 -CH3SH
  • 19. ALBENDAZOLE ■Eskazole, Zentel ■Methyl 5-(propylthio)-2-benzimidazole carbamate ■Widely employed throughout the world for the treatment of intestinal nematode function. ■Is effective as a single dose treatment for Ascariasis Hookworm infections Trichuriasis N H N NH COOCH3 S
  • 21. MECHANISMOF ACTION  bind with β-tubulin and inhibit microtubule polymerization.  β-tubulin is the precursor of formation of microtubules.Thereby arrest in cell division in nematodes. ■Biochemical Changes ■Inhibition of mitochondrial fumerate reductase ■Reduced glucose transport ■Uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation
  • 22. THIABENDAZOLE (cont) ■It has a broad spectrum anthelmintic activity. ■Used to treat ■Enterobiasis (thread worm) ■Ascariasis (round worm) ■Trichuriasis (whip worm) ■In addition to its use in human medicine, it is widely employed in vertinary practice to control helminths.
  • 24. OXAMNIQUINE ■ Vansil ■ 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-[isopropyl-amino) methyl]-7-nitro-6- quinoline methanol. ■ It inhibits DNA, RNA & protein synthesis. ■ SAR- OH group is essential for activity. ■ For the treatment of intestinal schistosomiasis. N H O2N HOH2C CH2NHCH
  • 25. PRAZIQUANTEL ■ Biltricide ■ 2-(cyclohexyl carbonyl)-1,2,3,6,7,11b-hexahydro-4H- pyrazino[2,1-a]isoquinolin-4-one. ■ It increases cell membrane permeability of susceptible worms, resulting in loss of intracellular calcium and loss of extracellular sodium. N N C O
  • 26. ■ Massive contractions & ultimate paralysis of the fluke musculature occurs. ■ The worms lose grip of intestinal mucosa and are expelled. ■ USE- It has become the agent of choice for the treatment of infections caused by fluke infections
  • 27. PIPERAZINE CITRATE  Artheriticine, Dispermin  MOA: It blocks the response of the ascaris muscle to acetyl choline, causing the flaccid paralysis in the worm, which is dislodged from the intestinal wall and expelled in the feces.  Highly effective againstAscaris lumbricoides & Enterobius vermicularis.(Round worm & thread worm) N H H N
  • 29. DIETHYL CARBAZINE CITRATE  HETRAZAN  N,N-diethyl-4-methyl-1-piperazine carboxamide N N H3C CO N C2H5 C2H5
  • 30. Mechanism Of Action ■Immobilizes microfilariae and alters their surface structure,displacing them from tissues & making them susceptible to destruction by host defense mechanism ■ It has immunosuppressive effects ■Filariasis and ascariasis

  • 34. Oxentel Oxantel pamoate is an agonist of the acetylcholine receptors in the muscle of nematodes and causes paralysis.
  • 35. NICLOSAMIDE ■ Cestocide, Mansonil,Yomesan ■ 5-chloro-N-(2-chloro -4 nitrophenyl)-2-hydroxy benzamide ■ MOA:The drug inhibits anerobic phosphorylation ofADP by the mitochondria of the parasite, and interfering with anerobic generation of ATP by theTape worm. ■ So it inhibits seperation and blocking glucose absorption by the intestinal nematode function. OH Cl C O NH NO2 Cl
  • 36. ■ SAR- For the activity, the OH group of benzoic acid moiety had to be in 2 nd position. ■ Uses-Agent for choice for the treatment ofTaenia solium and Taenia saginata. ■ A saline purge 1-2 hr after the ingestion of this drug is recommended to remove the damaged scolex & worm infections. ■ Quinacrine can aid for this purpose.
  • 38. ■ Are a mixture of 22,23dihydro derivatives of avermectins B1a &B1b prepared by catalytic reduction. ■ Are members of a family of structurually complex antibiotics produced by a strain of Sterptomyces avermilitis. ■ The structures of avermectins were established by a combination of spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic techniques to contain pentacyclic aglycone glycosidically linked at 13 th position to a disaccharide that comprises two oleandrose sugar residues. ■ MOA- It blocks interneuron transmission in nematodes by stimulating the release of inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-amino butyric acid-GABA. ■ Uses- widespread use in veterinary practice in the treatment of Onchocerciasis caused by Oncocerca volvulus.
