'Helminth' is a general term meaning worm. All helminths are invertebrates with
long, flat or round bodies. There are many different kinds of helminth ranging in
length from less than one millimetre to over one metre. Helminths infect a range
of hosts, including humans.
Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel
parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either
stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host.
They may also be called vermifuges (those that stun) or vermicides (those that
kill). Anthelmintics are used to treat people who are infected by helminths, a
condition called helminthiasis. These drugs are also used to treat infected
animals.

Mechanism of action
Albendazole
Albendazole is a broad-spectrum antihelminthic agent of the
benzimidazole type.
Albendazole, also known as albendazolum, is a medication used for
the treatment of a variety of parasitic worm infestations. It is useful
for giardiasis, trichuriasis, filariasis, neurocysticercosis, hydatid
disease, pinworm disease, and ascariasis, among others.
It is taken by mouth.
Mebendazole
Mebendazole is a broad-spectrum antihelminthic agent of the
benzimidazole type.
Mebendazole (MBZ) is a medication used to treat a number of
parasitic worm infestations. This includes ascariasis, pinworm
disease, hookworm infections, guinea worm infections, hydatid
disease, and giardia, among others.
Tiabendazole
As an antiparasitic, tiabendazole is able to control
roundworms (such as those causing strongyloidiasis),
hookworms, and other helminth species which infect
wild animals, livestock, and humans
Mechanism of action Tiabendazole
-
It reversibly inhibits
neuromuscular
transmission in the worm
Paralysed worms
Probably by mimicking
GABA, at GABA-gated
chloride channels in
nematode muscle
Expelled alive by normal
intestinal peristaltic
movement
Diethylcarbamazine citrate(DEC)
It is made from 4-methyl-piperazine Diethylcarbamazine
(DEC) is a medication used in the treatment of filariasis
including lymphatic filariasis, tropical pulmonary
eosinophilia, and loiasis. It may also be used for prevention of
loiasis in those at high risk. It is taken by mouth.
Praziquantel
It is a medication used to treat a number of types of parasitic worm
infections.Specifically it is used for schistosomiasis, clonorchiasis,
opisthorchiasis, tapeworm infections, cysticercosis, hydatid
disease, and other fluke infections
Mechanism of action Praziquantel
Praziquantel disrupts Calcium
haemostasis in parasite
Induces an influx of ion
By binding to proteinkinase
C-binding site in beta subunit
of schistosome voltage-gated
calcium channels
Paralysis
Rapid contraction of
musculature
Death of Worm
Ivermectin
Ivermectin is a medication used to treat many types of parasite
infestations. This includes head lice, scabies, river blindness
(onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, ascariasis, and
lymphatic filariasis. It can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin
for external infestations. Use in the eyes should be avoided
It works by causing the parasite's cell membrane to increase in
permeability, resulting in paralysis and death
Ivermectin
Pyrantel
Pyrantel is a medication used to treat a number of parasitic
worm infections. This includes ascariasis, hookworm
infections, enterobiasis (pinworm infection),
trichostrongyliasis, and trichinellosis
Mechanism of action- Pyrantel
depolarizing neuromuscular
blocking agent
followed by paralysis of
worm
there by causing sudden
contraction
Niclosamide
Niclosamide, sold under the brand name Niclocide among
others, is a medication used to treat tapeworm infestations.
This includes diphyllobothriasis, hymenolepiasis, and
taeniasis.
Mechnism of action-
Niclosamide inhibits glucose uptake, oxidative
phosphorylation, and anaerobic metabolism in the tapeworm
Niridazole is a schistosomicide. It is used to treat schistosomiasis, the
helmintic disease caused by certain flatworms (trematodes) from the
genus Schistosoma
Niridazole is rapidly concentrated in the parasite and inhibits oogenesis
and spermatogenesis. The compound also inhibits the
phosphofructokinase enzyme, leading to glycogen depletion
Niridazole
Imidazo thiazole
Levamisole
Levamisole is effective in infections with the common
roundworm
Mechanism of action
It has a nicotine- like action,stimulating & subsquently blocking
the neuromuscular junctions.
Paralysed worms are then expelled in faeces.Ova are not killed.

  • 2. 'Helminth' is a general term meaning worm. All helminths are invertebrates with long, flat or round bodies. There are many different kinds of helminth ranging in length from less than one millimetre to over one metre. Helminths infect a range of hosts, including humans.
  • 3.
  • 4. Anthelmintics or antihelminthics are a group of antiparasitic drugs that expel parasitic worms (helminths) and other internal parasites from the body by either stunning or killing them and without causing significant damage to the host. They may also be called vermifuges (those that stun) or vermicides (those that kill). Anthelmintics are used to treat people who are infected by helminths, a condition called helminthiasis. These drugs are also used to treat infected animals.

  • 7. Benzimidazoles Mebendazole Bind with parasite Beta tubulin Inhibit its polymerization Inhibiting Microtubule synthesis Blocks glucose uptake in parasite Depletes its glycogen stores Mechanism of action
  • 8. Albendazole Albendazole is a broad-spectrum antihelminthic agent of the benzimidazole type. Albendazole, also known as albendazolum, is a medication used for the treatment of a variety of parasitic worm infestations. It is useful for giardiasis, trichuriasis, filariasis, neurocysticercosis, hydatid disease, pinworm disease, and ascariasis, among others. It is taken by mouth.
  • 9. Mebendazole Mebendazole is a broad-spectrum antihelminthic agent of the benzimidazole type. Mebendazole (MBZ) is a medication used to treat a number of parasitic worm infestations. This includes ascariasis, pinworm disease, hookworm infections, guinea worm infections, hydatid disease, and giardia, among others.
  • 10. Tiabendazole As an antiparasitic, tiabendazole is able to control roundworms (such as those causing strongyloidiasis), hookworms, and other helminth species which infect wild animals, livestock, and humans
  • 11. Mechanism of action Tiabendazole - It reversibly inhibits neuromuscular transmission in the worm Paralysed worms Probably by mimicking GABA, at GABA-gated chloride channels in nematode muscle Expelled alive by normal intestinal peristaltic movement
  • 12.
  • 13. Diethylcarbamazine citrate(DEC) It is made from 4-methyl-piperazine Diethylcarbamazine (DEC) is a medication used in the treatment of filariasis including lymphatic filariasis, tropical pulmonary eosinophilia, and loiasis. It may also be used for prevention of loiasis in those at high risk. It is taken by mouth.
  • 14.
  • 15. Praziquantel It is a medication used to treat a number of types of parasitic worm infections.Specifically it is used for schistosomiasis, clonorchiasis, opisthorchiasis, tapeworm infections, cysticercosis, hydatid disease, and other fluke infections
  • 16. Mechanism of action Praziquantel Praziquantel disrupts Calcium haemostasis in parasite Induces an influx of ion By binding to proteinkinase C-binding site in beta subunit of schistosome voltage-gated calcium channels Paralysis Rapid contraction of musculature Death of Worm
  • 17.
  • 18. Ivermectin Ivermectin is a medication used to treat many types of parasite infestations. This includes head lice, scabies, river blindness (onchocerciasis), strongyloidiasis, trichuriasis, ascariasis, and lymphatic filariasis. It can be taken by mouth or applied to the skin for external infestations. Use in the eyes should be avoided It works by causing the parasite's cell membrane to increase in permeability, resulting in paralysis and death
  • 20.
  • 21. Pyrantel Pyrantel is a medication used to treat a number of parasitic worm infections. This includes ascariasis, hookworm infections, enterobiasis (pinworm infection), trichostrongyliasis, and trichinellosis
  • 22. Mechanism of action- Pyrantel depolarizing neuromuscular blocking agent followed by paralysis of worm there by causing sudden contraction
  • 23.
  • 24. Niclosamide Niclosamide, sold under the brand name Niclocide among others, is a medication used to treat tapeworm infestations. This includes diphyllobothriasis, hymenolepiasis, and taeniasis. Mechnism of action- Niclosamide inhibits glucose uptake, oxidative phosphorylation, and anaerobic metabolism in the tapeworm
  • 25.
  • 26. Niridazole is a schistosomicide. It is used to treat schistosomiasis, the helmintic disease caused by certain flatworms (trematodes) from the genus Schistosoma Niridazole is rapidly concentrated in the parasite and inhibits oogenesis and spermatogenesis. The compound also inhibits the phosphofructokinase enzyme, leading to glycogen depletion Niridazole
  • 28. Levamisole Levamisole is effective in infections with the common roundworm Mechanism of action It has a nicotine- like action,stimulating & subsquently blocking the neuromuscular junctions. Paralysed worms are then expelled in faeces.Ova are not killed.
