Diethylcarbamazine
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Diethylcarbamazine is an orally active microfilaricidal agent used originally in onchocerciasis and lymphatic filiariasis. Diethylcarbamazine reduces eosinophil trafficking to the lung tissue and exerts anti-allergic effects. Diethylcarbamazine reduces serum levels of leptin, TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1, glucose, insulin, and triglycerides, and ameliorates insulin resistance without altering body, liver, or adipose tissue weights. Diethylcarbamazine enhances reactive oxygen intermediate expression by polymorphonuclear neutrophils, increases lymphocyte proliferation, and inhibits actinomycetoma lesion development. Diethylcarbamazine can be used for the researches of bronchial asthma, insulin resistance and infection.

Biological Activity
|
IL-6 |
Diethylcarbamazine (12-200 mg/kg; p.o.; twice weekly; 12 weeks) significantly ameliorates high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance in male Swiss mice via suppression of adipose tissue inflammation at the optimal 50 mg/kg dose, without affecting body or tissue weights, with significant reductions in serum glucose, insulin, triglycerides, proinflammatory mediators, liver cyclooxygenase activity, and NF-κBp65 nuclear translocation[2].
Diethylcarbamazine (6 mg/kg; p.o.; daily; 1 week) inhibits actinomycetoma development in BALB/c mice, with a statistically significant reduction in lesion size, and enhances cellular immune responses including neutrophil reactive oxygen intermediate production and lymphocyte proliferation[3].

-
Dosage:12 mg/kg
-
Administration:p.o.;
-
Result:Reduced serum IL-4 and IL-5, total BALF IgE and specific anti-ovalbumin IgE, lung tissue EPO and eotaxin2, and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and thickened alveolar walls compared to untreated asthmatic mice.
Showed no significant changes in serum IL-4, IL-5, BALF IgE, lung EPO, or eotaxin2, and similar histopathological improvement compared to DEC alone when preceded by anti-DEC antibody.
Showed no significant changes in serum IL-4, IL-5, lung EPO, or eotaxin2, and partial reduction in inflammatory cell infiltration and alveolar wall thickening compared to DEC alone when preceded by 10 mg/kg Quercetin.
Significantly reduced serum IL-4 and IL-5, increased IFN-γ/IL-4 ratio to near control levels, decreased total BALF IgE, and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration compared to DEC alone when preceded by 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg Quercetin.

-
Administration:p.o.; twice weekly; 12 weeks (from 6 to 18 week)

Significantly inhibited nuclear localization of NF-κBp65 with increased cytoplasmic retention at 50 mg/kg.
Showed no statistically significant reductions in serum glucose, triglycerides, insulin, HOMA-IR, leptin, TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1, or liver cyclooxygenase activity relative to untreated high-fat diet-fed mice at 12 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg.
Exhibited less potent effects on NF-κBp65 nuclear localization at 12 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg compared to 50 mg/kg.
Caused no significant changes to body, adipose tissue, or liver weights at 50 mg/kg.
