Introduction of Piperazine - PIP
Piperazine is an organic compound that consists of a six-membered ring containing two opposing nitrogen atoms. First used as a solvent for uric acid, the use of piperazine as an anthelmintic agent was first introduced in 1953. Thus, piperazine is an organic compound of the amine group with various derives like methyl diethanolamine, hexahydropyrazine, and others widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors. Also, piperazine is used in the production of polyamide resins, ethylene glycol, adhesives, and sealants, chemical intermediates, pesticides, and is commonly used as a raw material for several commercially available drugs. Increasing demand for piperazine from the agriculture sector in order to increase crop production and destroy weeds is boosting market growth. In addition, piperazine is used as an animal feed additive to decrease iodine deficiency and prevent various animal diseases will also help to drive the piperazine market growth. The production of several drugs is also bolstering the demand for piperazine in the pharmaceutical sector. Piperazine is used to treat common roundworms (ascariasis) and pinworms (enterobiasis; oxyuriasis).
The growing usage of piperazine (PIP) in the agrochemical sector is boosting the growth of the piperazine (PIP) market
Piperazine derivatives are used in agrochemical formulations as pesticides, insecticides, and fungicides. As agricultural activities expanded to meet the increasing food demands of a growing global population, the need for piperazine in the agrochemical sector also increased. Piperazine derivatives, one of the most prominent heterocycles, are frequently utilized as linkers to connect active substructures with promising bioactivities, particularly in the field of agrochemicals.
Between 2000 and 2022, many piperazine-containing compounds were discovered to have excellent antifungal, antibacterial, insect, plant virus, and weed properties. They have also been utilized as plant growth regulators. The development of innovative pesticides to prevent crop disease invasion and ensure crop quality and yields is still required. Thus, piperazine is widely used in the discovery of pesticides.
Conclusion
The expanding global population and the consequent increase in agricultural activities have heightened the demand for effective crop protection solutions, thereby driving the utilization of piperazine in the agrochemical sector. However, there remains a continuous need for innovative pesticides to address evolving challenges in crop protection and ensure sustainable food production.
