Anthelmintics (also known as parasiticides, endectocides, and nematicides) are drugs used to treat parasitic worms. This includes flatworms (tapeworms and flukes) and roundworms (nematodes), which usually infect humans, livestock, and crops, affecting food production. Some anthelmintics drugs are widely used against intestinal worms. This group encompasses various, namely benzimidazoles and avermectins, which are categorized based on their chemical composition and mechanism of operation. While certain members, like avermectins, are considered safe, others, such as benzimidazoles and levamisole, pose risks to human well-being. Furthermore, after ingesting the anthelmintics, they can be transformed in the host, and some transformation products can be detected in edible tissues.
Piperazine was first used as an anthelmintic in the 1950s, and it remains the active constituent of over-the-counter remedies for threadworm infection among children. Its mechanism of action has primarily been studied in A. suum, demonstrating its role as a mild GABA-mimetic that induces temporary and reversible paralysis in body wall muscles. Single channel recordings prove it is a low efficacy, a partial agonist at GABA-gated chloride channels. Recently the impact of piperazine has been investigated in C. elegans by involving a comparative analysis of its effects on wild-type organisms and those bearing mutations in unc-49, a gene responsible for encoding C. elegans GABAA-like receptor subunits expressed at the neuromuscular junction of the body wall.
