4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Drug Indication

Used for the treatment of certain filarial diseases, including tropical pulmonary eosinophilia, loiasis, and lymphatic filariasis caused by infection with Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, or Brugia timori.


5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Diethylcarbamazine is an anthelmintic drug that does not resemble other antiparasitic compounds. It is a synthetic organic compound which is highly specific for several parasites and does not contain any toxic metallic elements.


5.2 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Lipoxygenase Inhibitors

Compounds that bind to and inhibit that enzymatic activity of LIPOXYGENASES. Included under this category are inhibitors that are specific for lipoxygenase subtypes and act to reduce the production of LEUKOTRIENES. (See all compounds classified as Lipoxygenase Inhibitors.)


Filaricides

Pharmacological agents destructive to nematodes in the superfamily Filarioidea. (See all compounds classified as Filaricides.)


5.3 FDA Pharmacological Classification
5.3.1 Active Moiety
DIETHYLCARBAMAZINE
5.3.2 FDA UNII
V867Q8X3ZD
5.3.3 Pharmacological Classes
Established Pharmacologic Class [EPC] - Anthelmintic
5.4 ATC Code

P - Antiparasitic products, insecticides and repellents

P02 - Anthelmintics

P02C - Antinematodal agents

P02CB - Piperazine and derivatives

P02CB02 - Diethylcarbamazine


5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Readily absorbed following oral administration.


5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Partially metabolized to diethylcarbamazine N-oxide.


5.7 Biological Half-Life

Approximately 8 hours.


5.8 Mechanism of Action

The mechanism of action of diethylcarbamazine is thought to involve sensitizing the microfilariae to phagocytosis. One study showed that diethylcarbamazine's activity against Brugia malayi microfilariae is dependent on inducible nitric-oxide synthase and the cyclooxygenase pathway. It confirmed the important role of the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway in diethylcarbamazine's mechanism of action in vivo and showes that in addition to its effects on the 5-lipoxygenase pathway, it targets the cyclooxygenase pathway and COX-1.
