Usage

Description

PIPERAZINE CITRATE is an organic compound with a six-membered ring containing two opposing nitrogen atoms, primarily used as an anthelmintic agent and for reducing blood pressure. It was first introduced as an anthelmintic in 1953 and has the remarkable ability to dissolve uric acid, producing a soluble urate. Piperazine citrate is a white, crystalline powder with a slight odor, soluble in water, and insoluble in alcohol and ether.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
PIPERAZINE CITRATE is used as an anthelmintic agent for the treatment of parasitic infections. It works by paralyzing parasites, allowing the host body to easily remove or expel the invading organism.
Used in Medical Applications:
PIPERAZINE CITRATE is used for the reduction of blood pressure, providing a therapeutic option for patients with hypertension.
Brand Names:
Antepar (GlaxoSmithKline)
Bryrel (Sanofi Aventis)

Indications

Used as alternative treatment for ascariasis caused by Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworm) and enterobiasis (oxyuriasis) caused by Enterobius vermicularis (pinworm). It is also used to treat partial intestinal obstruction by the common roundworm, a condition primarily occurring in children.

Flammability and Explosibility

Notclassified

Mechanism of action

Piperazine is a GABA receptor agonist. Piperzine binds directly and selectively to muscle membrane GABA receptors, presumably causing hyperpolarization of nerve endings, resulting in flaccid paralysis of the worm. While the worm is paralyzed, it is dislodged from the intestinal lumen and expelled live from the body by normal intestinal peristalsis.

Pharmacokinetics

Piperazine is an anthelminthic especially useful in the treatment of partial intestinal obstruction caused by Ascaris worms, which is a condition primarily seen in children. Piperazine hydrate and piperazine citrate are the main anthelminthic piperazines.
