Comparison of ruminant anthelmintics, using multiple dose administration.

Eleven ruminant anthelmintics were administered to lambs over a 30-day period, using medicated feeds or multiple oral doses. Fenbendazole and its sulfinyl analog, oxfendazole, were effective (greater than 90%) in the control of clinical parasitism at feeding levels of 5 mg/kg of feed. Parbendazole and albendazole were effective at daily oral dose levels of 1 mg/kg of body weight and at feeding dose levels of 10 mg/kg of feed, respectively. Levamisole, mebendazole, and oxibendazole were ineffective in controlling intense natural parasitic infections of sheep at daily oral dose levels equal to or less than 1 mg/kg of body weight and/or a feeding level equal to or less than 10 mg/kg of feed.

Isoxazole anthelmintics.

A series of 3-halo-5-phenyl- and 3-phenyl-5-haloisoxazoles has demonstrated anthelmintic activity at doses ranging from 16 to 500 mg/kg orally against the rat roundworm, Nippostrongylus braziliensis. In the 5-phenyl series a halogen at the 3 position of the isoxazole ring was required for activity. However, in the 3-phenyl series activity was maintained after replacement of the 5-halogen with certain alkoxyl, thioalkoxyl, or amino groups. The 3-phenyl and 5-phenyl series apparently are not acting biologically at a common receptor site. Synthetic methods and structure-activity relationships are discussed.

Novel phosphate anthelmintics. 3. Alkyl and aryl 1-methyleneallyl phosphates, phosphonates, and phosphinates.

A series of new highly chlorinated 1-methyleneallyl ("butadienyl") dialkyl phosphates and related phosphonates and phosphinates has been synthesized and assessed for anthelmintic activity in mice against the tapeworm Hymenolepis nana and the pinworm Syphacia obvelata. Highest activity was observed with diethyl 2,3,3-trichloro-1-dichloromethyleneallyl ("perchlorobutadienyl") phosphate (14), while replacement of both ethoxy groups by methoxy and larger alkoxy or phenyl groups gave less efficacious compounds. In general, chlorine depletion of the 1,3-butadien-2-yl moiety or saturation of one double bond reduced anthelmintic responses.
