The synthesis and antifilarial activity of a series of 1-methyl-4-substituted carbamoyl- and carbonylpiperazines (6 - 42) against Litomosoides carinii in cotton rats and Dipetalonema viteae in Mastomys natalensis are described.The most potent compound of this series, 1-methyl-4-(pyrrolidin-1-yl)carbonylpiperazine (7) causes 95 - 98 percent reduction of blood microfilarial count in cotton rats infected with L. carinii at an intraperitoneal or oral dose of 1.5 (base) or 3 (citrate) mg/kg given for 6 days.A number of other compounds also exhibit marked microfilaricidal efffect in the dose range of 6 - 30 mg/kg.
