CAS 1642-54-2: Diethylcarbamazine citrate
Description:Diethylcarbamazine citrate is a synthetic organic compound primarily used as an anthelmintic agent, particularly in the treatment of filariasis and other parasitic infections. It is characterized by its chemical structure, which includes a carbamate functional group and ethyl substituents, contributing to its pharmacological properties. The compound is typically presented as a white to off-white crystalline powder, which is soluble in water and exhibits a slightly bitter taste. Diethylcarbamazine citrate works by immobilizing and killing the parasites, facilitating their elimination from the host's body. Its mechanism of action involves interference with the metabolism of the parasites, leading to their eventual death. The compound is generally well-tolerated, although it may cause side effects such as dizziness, headache, or gastrointestinal disturbances in some patients. Due to its specific therapeutic applications, it is important to use diethylcarbamazine citrate under medical supervision, ensuring proper dosage and monitoring for any adverse reactions.
