| | Pharmacology and mechanism of action | Piperazine is a heterocyclic organic base widely used as an anthelminthic. It was originally developed for the treatment of gout. Its first successful use in helminthiasis was reported by Mouriquand et al. in 1951 [1]. Presently the drug is used in the treatment of infections caused by Ascaris lumbricoides and Enterobius vermicularis.
The drug causes flaccid paralysis in susceptible worms and the parasites lose their attachment to the intestinal wall, and are swept away by the normal bowel peristalsis. The biochemical mechanism behind this action is uncertain. Piperazine causes hyperpolarization of the Ascaris muscle rendering it unresponsive to acetylcholine [2].
| | Indications | Treatment of infections due to Ascaris lumbricoides and Enterobius vermicularis. When cost and availability are not a consideration, safer and more effective drugs such as mebendazole or albendazole should be used instead.
| | Side effects | Side effects commonly encountered with the recommended doses of piperazine are nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps and diarrhoea which are usually mild and self-limiting. Although absolute incidence is unknown, severe side effects reported in the literature are rare. They can be classified into:
1. Allergic reactions such as urticaria, exantema, hypersensitivity, lacrimation, rhinorrea, productive cough, and bronchospasm[3,4].
2. Neuro-psychological reactions[5-11]:
(a) cerebral type such as vertigo, dizziness, tremor, incoordination, ataxia and hypotonia with EEG changes;
(b) psychic type such as depersonalization, hallucination and paranoic reactions;
(c) miscellaneous such as headache, visual disturbances, somnolence, coma and an increase in the number of petit mal attacks.
Neuro-psychological reactions are rare. Most cases reported concern children with pre disposing factors like neurological symptoms, renal diseases or those who have been treated with high doses of piperazine.
One case of haemolytic anaemia in a patient with G6PD deficiency [12], and one case of toxic hepatitis[13] have also been reported. However, no causal relationships can be established from these cases.
Nitrosation of piperazine to the potential carcinogen N-mononitrosopiperazine in the stomach of patients treated with normal therapeutic doses has been reported[14]. However, carcinogenicity related to the use of piperazine has not been reported despite the use of the drug over many years. In any case, this is unlikely to have any clinical implications with the short treatment period of nematodes.
| | Contraindications and precautions | Piperazine should not be given to patients with hypersensitivity or with neurological diseases,especially epileptic patients.
| | Interactions | In rats and mice, piperazine 1–5 g/kg subcutaneously, potentiates the side effects of chlorpromazine [15]. However, this is unlikely to have any clinical significance. Piperazine is antagonistic to pyrantel, bephenium and levamisole , but no potential clinical interactions have been reported.
| | Preparations | Several preparations, apart from the one mentioned below, containing various piperazine salts are available.
• Antepar® (Wellcome). Oral suspension 150 mg piperazine hexahydrate/ml. Tablets 500 mg piperazine hexahydrate.
| | Acute oral toxicity | rat LD50: 1900 mg/kg; Oral-Mouse LD50: 600 mg/kg

| | Description | Piperazine (Item No. 24019) is an analytical reference standard categorized as a piperazine. This product is intended for research and forensic applications. | | Description | Piperazine is contained in pyrazinobutazone, an equimolecular
sah of piperazine and phenylbutazone.
Among occupational cases, most were reported in the
pharmaceutical industry or laboratory, in nurses and
in veterinarians. | | Chemical Properties | Colorless to yellow solid; salty taste. | | Chemical Properties | Piperazine is white to cream-colored needles or powder. Characteristic ammonia-like odor. Combustible solids that do not easily ignite. | | Uses | Labelled Piperazine | | Uses | keratolytic, antiseborheic | | Uses | Piperazine is used as an intermediate in themanufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals, polymers,surfactants, and rubber accelerators. | | Indications | Piperazine (Vermizine) contains a heterocyclic ring that
lacks a carboxyl group. It acts on the musculature of the
helminths to cause reversible flaccid paralysis mediated
by chloride-dependent hyperpolarization of the muscle
membrane. This results in expulsion of the worm.
Piperazine acts as an agonist at gated chloride channels
on the parasite muscle.
Piperazine has been used with success to treat A.
lumbricoides and E. vermicularis infections, although
mebendazole is now the agent of choice. Piperazine is
administered orally and is readily absorbed from the intestinal
tract. Most of the drug is excreted in the urine
within 24 hours.
Piperazine is an appropriate alternative to mebendazole
for the treatment of ascariasis, especially in the
presence of intestinal or biliary obstruction. Cure rates
of more than 80% are obtained following a 2-day regimen.
Side effects occasionally include gastrointestinal distress,
urticaria, and dizziness. Neurological symptoms of
ataxia, hypotonia, visual disturbances, and exacerbations of epilepsy can occur in patients with preexisting
renal insufficiency. It should not be used in pregnant
women because of the formation of a potentially carcinogenic
and teratogenic nitrosamine metabolite.
Concomitant use of piperazine and chlorpromazine or
pyrantel should be avoided. | | Definition | ChEBI: An azacycloalkane that consists of a six-membered ring containing two nitrogen atoms at opposite positions. | | Brand name | Pincets (Marion Merrell Dow);

century and its anthelminthic activity was discovered in 1949. It is also
considerably cheaper than other anthelminthic drugs. In some countries where
ascariasis is not endemic and where piperazine was used predominantly for the
treatment of pinworm it has been withdrawn from use on the grounds that other
more effective and less toxic drugs are now available (see full list). In other such
countries, however, piperazine remains available in over-the-counter preparations.
Clinical dosages occasionally induce transient neurological signs and concern has
been expressed that in some circumstances the drug may generate small amounts
of nitrosamine in the stomach. However, it is widely considered that these trace
doses are unlikely to give rise to a significant carcinogenic potential.
(Reference: (WHODIB) WHO Drug Information Bulletin, 1: 5, , 1983) | | General Description | Needle-like white or colorless crystals. Shipped as a solid or suspended in a liquid medium. Very corrosive to skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Solid turns dark when exposed to light. Flash point 190°F. Used as a corrosion inhibitor and as an insecticide. | | Air & Water Reactions | Flammable. Absorbs water and carbon dioxide from air. Soluble in water. | | Reactivity Profile | 1,4-Diazacyclohexane neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Absorbs carbon dioxide from the air, which can cause dry crystals to seem to melt. May generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. 1,4-Diazacyclohexane is sensitive to light; 1,4-Diazacyclohexane absorbs water and carbon dioxide from air. 1,4-Diazacyclohexane may be corrosive to aluminum, magnesium and zinc. . | | Health Hazard | TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution. | | Health Hazard | Piperazine is a corrosive substance. The solidand its concentrated aqueous solutions areirritants to the skin and eyes. The irritanteffect in rabbits’ eyes was severe.
The toxic symptoms from ingestion ofpiperazine include nausea, vomiting, excitement,change in motor activity, somnolence,and muscle contraction. The toxicity of thiscompound is low, however. The oral LD50value in rats is 1900 mg/kg. The inhalationtoxicity is very low. The inhalation LC50value in mice is 5400 mg/m3/2 h. | | Fire Hazard | Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily. When heated, vapors may form explosive mixtures with air: indoors, outdoors and sewers explosion hazards. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may pollute waterways. Substance may be transported in a molten form. | | Flammability and Explosibility | Highly flammable | | Pharmaceutical Applications | A synthetic chemical, most commonly formulated as the citrate,
but also available as the adipate, edetate calcium and
tartrate salts. | | Contact allergens | Piperazine is contained in pyrazinobutazone, an equimolar
salt of piperazine and phenylbutazone. Among occupational
cases, most were reported in the pharmaceutical
industry or laboratory workers, in nurses, and in
veterinarians. | | Mechanism of action | Piperazine increases the resting potential
of the somatic musculature of nematodes, especially
in the syncytial region, by increasing the
permeability of the membrane to chloride ions.
This results in flaccid paralysis of the parasites,
which are expelled from the intestine . | | Pharmacokinetics | Activity against intestinal worms requires that a substantial
amount remains in the gut. However, after oral administration
a variable amount is rapidly absorbed from the small
intestine and subsequently excreted in the urine. Its half-life
is extremely variable. | | Clinical Use | Hexahydropyrazine or diethylenediamine (Arthriticine,Dispermin) occurs as colorless, volatile crystals of the hexahydratethat are freely soluble in water. After the discoveryof the anthelmintic properties of a derivative diethylcarbamazine,the activity of piperazine itself was established.Piperazine is still used as an anthelmintic for the treatmentof pinworm (Enterobius [Oxyuris] vermicularis) and roundworm(Ascaris lumbricoides) infestations. It is available invarious salt forms, including the citrate (official in the USP)in syrup and tablet forms. Piperazine blocks the response of the ascaris muscleto acetylcholine, causing flaccid paralysis in the worm,which is dislodged from the intestinal wall and expelled inthe feces. | | Clinical Use | Ascariasis
Pinworm | | Side effects | Some people develop hypersensitivity, requiring cessation of
treatment. Transient, mild gastrointestinal or neurological
symptoms may occur. | | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by
ingestion, skin contact, intravenous, and
subcutaneous routes. Mildly toxic by
inhalation. A skin and severe eye irritant.
Excessive absorption can cause urticaria,
vomiting, diarrhea, blurred vision, and
weakness. Combustible when exposed to
heat or flame; can react vigorously with
oxidizing materials. Explodes on contact
with dicyanofurazan. To fight fire, use
alcohol foam, mist, dry chemical, water
spray. When heated to decomposition it
emits highly toxic fumes of NOx. | | Synthesis | Piperazine (38.1.12) is a bulk product in organic synthesis. It is made from
ethanolamine by heating it in ammonia at a temperature of 150¨C220??C and a pressure
of 100¨C250atm. It is used as a drug in the form of a salt, and as a rule, in the form of
adipinate. 
| | Potential Exposure | (Piperazine): Primary irritant (w/o allergic reaction), | | Veterinary Drugs and Treatments | Piperazine is used for the treatment of ascarids in dogs, cats, horses,
swine and poultry. Piperazine is considered safe to use in animals
with concurrent gastroenteritis and during pregnancy. | | Drug interactions | Potentially hazardous interactions with other drugs
Pyrantel: antagonises effect of piperazine. | | Carcinogenicity | No increase in lung adenomas
was produced in mice administered 0.69–18.75mg of piperazine/
kg in drinking water for 20–25 weeks and sacrificed
10–13 weeks later. Mice fed the equivalent of
938 mg/kg in the diet for 28 weeks and sacrificed at 40 weeks
failed to show any significant increase in the incidence of
lung adenomas. An increase in lung adenomas was
produced in this bioassay by administration of piperazine
together with sodium nitrate, suggesting the formation of the
active nitroso derivative. Sodium ascorbate inhibited
tumor formation, in theory, by preventing piperazine nitrosation
(304). Coadministration of 250 ppm piperazine and
500 ppm sodium nitrate in drinking water did not produce
tumors in rats. None of these studies were conducted
using currently accepted methods for evaluating carcinogenic
potential but piperazine alone, in these assays, was
noncarcinogenic. | | Environmental Fate | This molecule has a simple chemical structure and molecular
weight of 86.14. It has a strong alkaline base soluble in water
(1:18), glycerol, and glycols, but is only sparingly soluble in
alcohol and insoluble in ether. Piperazine is not expected to
hydrolyze in water. The photodegradation half-life is approximately
0.8 h. The piperazine molecule is easily denaturalized
by diverse environmental factors and has a low potential for
bioaccumulation or biomagnification. To improve its stability,
it is usually formulated as different salts such as adipate, citrate,
phosphate, hexahydrate, and sulfate. Most piperazine salts are
white crystalline powders that are readily soluble in water.Exceptions are adipates, which dissolve to only a maximum
concentration of 5% in water, and phosphate, which is
insoluble. | | Metabolism | About 25% is metabolised in the liver. Piperazine is
nitrosated to form N -mononitrosopiperazine (MNPz)
in gastric juice, which is then metabolised to N-nitroso-3-
hydroxypyrrolidine (NHPYR).
It is excreted in the urine mainly as metabolites. | | Shipping | UN2579 Piperazine, Hazard class: 8; Labels: 8-Corrosive material. | | Purification Methods | Piperazine crystallises from EtOH or anhydrous *benzene and is dried at 0.01mm. It can be sublimed under vacuum and purified by zone melting. The hydrochloride has m 172-174o (from EtOH), and the dihydrochloride crystallises from aqueous EtOH and has m 318-320o (dec, sublimes at 295-315o). The picrate has m ~200o, and the picrolonate crystallises from dimethylformamide ( m 259-261o). [Beilstein 23 H 4, 23 I 4, 23 II 3, 23 III/IV 15, 23/1 V 30.] | | Toxicity evaluation | Piperazine blocks transmission by hyperpolarizing nerve
membranes at the neuromuscular junction, leading to parasite
immobilization by flaccid paralysis and consequent removal
from predilection and death. Piperazine is a selective agonist of
GABA receptors, resulting in the opening of chloride channels
and hyperpolarization of the membrane of the muscle cells of
nematode parasites. | | Incompatibilities | Aqueous solution is a strong base. Violent reaction with strong oxidizers and dicyanofurazan. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides, nitrogen compounds, carbon tetrachloride. Attacks aluminum, copper, nickel, magnesium and zinc. |
