The compounds of Formula I can be employed very successfully against nematodes as well as against cestodes and trematodes. A particular feature of the novel compounds is that they are fully effective also against benzimidazole-resistant helminths, in particular against thiabendazole-resistant helminths ("thiabendazole" denotes the compound 2-(thiazol-4-yl)benzimidazole).

Variant (d) is carried out at reaction temperatures in the range from 50.degree. to 250.degree. C., preferably from 80.degree. to 150.degree. C., in an inert solvent or diluent. Reactions (a), (b) and (c) may be carried out under normal or increased pressure and in the absence or, preferably, presence of an inert solvent or diluent. In some cases, the reactions are conveniently carried out in the presence of a base.
It is most advantageous to carry out variant (e) in the following manner: (e.sub.1) if Z is hydrogen, by reacting a compound of formula IX with a compound of formula X in the presence of a catalyst such as Raney nickel or palladium on active carbon; (e.sub.2) if Z is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylthio, by reacting a compound of formula IX with a compound of formula X in the presence of a base or, after conversion of Z--H in conventional manner into a salt Z--M.sup..sym., wheren M.sup..sym. is a suitable cation such as Na.sup..sym. or K.sup..sym., in an inert solvent and at a temperature in the range from 20.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably from 50.degree. to 150.degree.

Preferred salts are alkali metal salts such as sodium, potassium or lithium salts, as well as ammonium salts and trialkylamine salts. e.g. the preferred triethylamine salt. Neutralisation is effected in an inert polar solvent, e.g. an alkanol, an ester or an ethereal compound.

Suitable bases are organic and inorganic bases, e.g. preferably tertiary amines such as trialkylamines (trimethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, etc.), pyridine and pyridine bases (e.g. 4-dimethylaminopyridine, 4-pyrrolidylaminopyridine etc.), picolines and lutidines, as well as oxides, hydroxides, carbonates and bicarbonates of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals (e.g. CaO, BaO, NaOH, KOH, Ca(OH).sub.2, KHCO.sub.3, NaHCO.sub.3, Ca(HCO.sub.3).sub.2, K.sub.2 CO.sub.3, Na.sub.2 CO.sub.3 etc.), and also acetates such as CH.sub.3 COONa or CH.sub.3 COOK. Further suitable bases are alkali metal alcoholates, e.g. sodium ethylate, sodium propylate, potassium tert-butylate or sodium methylate. For process variants (a), (b) and (c) it is advantageous to add the base in 10 to 100% of the equimolar amount, for process variant (d) in 200% of the equimolar amount, based on the reactants.
In some cases it may be of advantage to carry out the reaction in an inert gas atmosphere. Suitable inert gases are e.g. nitrogen, helium, argon or carbon dioxide.
Compounds of formula I which are present as salt can be converted into the free form by methods known per se.
With the exception of the compounds of formula III employed in process variant (a) and of the compounds of formula VII employed in process variant (d), the starting materials in process variants (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) are known (q.v. e.g. Chem. Ber. 54, 1038 [1921]) or they can be prepared in corresponding manner to known ones.
The described preparatory process, including all variants (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), constitutes an object of this invention.
The compounds of formula I may exist in different tautomeric forms, viz. in the keto or enol form or in a mixture of these forms. The present invention relates both to the individual tautomers and to their mixtures, as well as to the salts of each of these forms and to the preparation thereof. The same also applies to the N oxides of compounds of formula I.
The invention also relates to a method of protecting animals from attack by parasitic helminths, which comprises applying the compounds of formula I, or the formulations containing them, as additives to the solid or liquid feeds or also orally in solid or liquid form, by injection or by the pour-on method.
The compounds of formula I may be used in all tautomeric forms and mixtures thereof, or in the form of their salts, in each of the helminth control methods or anthelmintic compositions of this invention.
Among the endoparasites which occur in warm-blooded animals, the helminths cause severe damage. For example, animals attacked by these parasites are not only retarded in their growth, but in some cases suffer such harmful physiological effects that they die. It is therefore of great importance to develop therapeutic agents which are suitable for controlling helminths and their development stages and to prevent attack by these parasites. Particularly dangerous helminth infestations are those caused in the gastrointestinal tract and other organs by parasitic nematodes, cestodes and trematodes, and especially in ruminants such as sheep, cattle and goats, as well as horses, pigs, deer, dogs, cats and poultry.
The damage caused by helminthiases can be substantial whenever herds of cattle fall victim to chronic and, in particular, epidemic attack. Such damage takes the form inter alia of diminution of useful performance, weakened resistance and increased mortality. The control and prevention of helminth infestation are therefore of the utmost importance to avoid or reduce such damage, especially damage having serious economic consequences.
Throughout this specification, the term "helminths" will be understood as meaning in particular parasitic worms which belong to the phyla Platyhelminthes (cestodes, trematodes) and Nemathelminthes (nematodes and related species), i.e. cestodes, trematodes and nematodes of the gastrointestinal tract and other organs (e.g. liver, lungs, kidneys, lymphatic vessels, blood etc.). Although a range of compounds having anthelminthic activity are known and have been proposed for controlling the different helminth species, they are not entirely satisfactory, either because it is not possible to exploit their activity spectrum fully when administered in well tolerated doses or because they exhibit undesirable side-effects or characteristics when administered in therapeutic doses. In this regard, the increasing resistance being encountered at the present time to specific classes of compounds is an ever more significant factor. Although, for example, the prior art compound "albendazole" (British Pat. specification No. 1 464 326; Am. J. Vet. Res. 38, 1425-1426 (1977); Am. J. Vet. Res. 37, 1515-1516 (1976); Am. J. Vet. Res. 38, 807-808 (1977); Am. J. Vet. Res. 38, 1247-1248 (1977)) has a limited activity spectrum as anthelmintic when administered to ruminants, its activity against benzimidazole-resistant nematodes and adult liver flukes is inadequate. In particular, the pathologically important immature migratory forms of the last mentioned parasites are not attacked when the compound is administered in doses which are tolerated by the host animal.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that the compounds of formula I not only have, as mentioned above, a potent anthelmintic activity with a broad activity spectrum against nematodes, cestodes and trematodes but have, in addition, a low toxicity to warm-blooded animals.
The novel compounds of formula I of the invention are suitable e.g. for controlling parasitic nematodes of the orders (according to the classification of K. I. Skrajaban)
Rhabditida
Ascaridida
Spirurida
Trichocephalida
or for controlling cestodes of the orders (according to the classification of Wardle & McLeod)
Cyclophyllidae
Pseudophyllidae
or for controlling trematodes of the order
Digenea
in domestic animals and productive livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, horses, pigs, cats, dogs and poultry. The compounds of formula I may be administered to the animals in both individual and repeated doses. Depending on the species of animal, the individual doses are preferably administered in amounts ranging from 1 to 500 mg per kg of body weight. A better activity is sometimes attained by protracted administration, or lower total doses may suffice.
The compositions of this invention are prepared by bringing the compounds of formula I into contact with liquid and/or solid formulation adjuvants by stepwise mixing or grinding such that the formulation is able to exert its anthelmintic activity in optimum manner in accordance with the mode of application.
The formulation steps may be complemented by kneading, granulating and, if desired, pelleting.
Suitable formulation adjuvants are for example solid carriers, solvents and, optionally, surface-active compounds (surfactants).
The following formulation adjuvants are employed for preparing the compositions of the invention: solid carriers, e.g. kaolin, talc, bentonite, common salt, calcium phosphate, carbohydrates, cellulose powder, cottonseed meal, polyethylene glycol ether, optionally binders such as gelatin, soluble cellulose derivatives, if desired with the addition of surface-active compounds such as ionic or non-ionic dispersants; natural mineral fillers such as calcite, montmorillonite or attapulgite. To improve the physical properties it is also possible to add highly dispersed silicic acid or highly dispersed adsorbent polymers. Suitable granulated adsorptive carriers are porous types, for example pumice, broken brick, sepiolite or bentonite; and suitable nonsorbent carriers are materials such as calcite or sand. In addition, a great number of pregranulated materials of inorganic or organic nature can be used, e.g. especially dolomite or pulverised plant material.
Suitable solvents are: aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably the fractions containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms, e.g. xylene mixtures or substituted naphthalenes, phthalates such as dibutyl phthalate or dioctyl phthalate, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, alcohols and glycols and their ethers and esters, such as ethanol, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl or monoethyl ether, ketones such as cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethylformamide, as well as vegetable oils, epoxidised vegetable oils such as epoxidised coconut oil or soybean oil; or water.
Depending on the nature of the compound of formula I to be formulated, suitable surface-active compounds are nonionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants having good emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. The term "surfactants" will also be understood as comprising mixtures of surfactants.
Suitable anionic surfactants can be both water-soluble soaps and water-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds.
Suitable soaps are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C.sub.10 -C.sub.22), e.g. the sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural fatty acid mixtures which can be obtained e.g. from coconut oil or tallow oil.
More frequently, however, so-called synthetic surfactants are used, especially fatty sulfonates, fatty sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives or alkylarylsulfonates.
The fatty sulfonates or sulfates are usually in the form of alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts and contain a C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkyl radical which also includes the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals, e.g. the sodium or calcium salt of lignosulfonic acid, of dodecylsulfate or of a mixture of fatty alcohol sulfates obtained from natural fatty acids. These compounds also comprise the salts of sulfuric acids and sulfonic acids of fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain 2 sulfonic acid groups and one fatty acid radical containing 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Examples of alkylaryl-sulfonates are the sodium, calcium or triethanolamine salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid or of a naphthalenesulfonic acid/formaldehyde condensation product. Also suitable are corresponding phosphates, e.g. salts of the phosphoric acid ester of an adduct of p-nonylphenol with 4 to 14 moles of ethylene oxide, or phospholipids.
Non-ionic surfactants are preferably polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, or saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols, said derivatives containing 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon moiety and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety of the alkylphenols.
Further suitable non-ionic surfactants are the water-soluble adducts of polyethylene oxide with polypropylene glycol, ethylenediaminopropylene glycol and alkylpolypropylene glycol containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, which adducts contain 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. These compounds usually contain 1 to 5 ethylene glycol units per propylene glycol unit.
Representative examples of non-ionic surfactants are nonylphenolpolyethoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ethers, polypropylene/polyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. Fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan, e.g. polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate, are also suitable non-ionic surfactants.
Cationic surfactants are preferably quaternary ammonium salts which contain, as N-substituent, at least one C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkyl radical and, as further substituents, unsubstituted or halogenated lower alkyl, benzyl or hydroxy-lower alkyl radicals. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methylsulfates or ethylsulfates, e.g. stearyltrimethylammonium chloride or benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium bromide.
The surfactants customarily employed in the art of formulation are described e.g. in:
"McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, N.J., 1981;
Stache, H., "Tensid-Taschenbuch" (Handbook of Surfactants), Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich/Vienna, 1981.
Suitable binders for tablets and boluses are chemically modified natural polymers which are soluble in water or alcohol, e.g. starch, cellulose or protein derivatives (e.g. methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, proteins such as zein, gelatin and the like), as well as synthetic polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone etc. Tablets also contain fillers (e.g. starch, microcrystalline cellulose, sugar, lactose etc.), glidants and disintegrators.
If the anthelmintic compositions are in the form of feed concentrates, then suitable carriers are for example production feeds, cereal feeds or protein concentrates. In addition to the active ingredients, such feeds can contain additives, vitamins, antibiotics, chemotherapeutical agents or other pesticides, in particular bacteriostats, fungistats, coccidiostats or also hormone preparations, substances having anabolic action or other substances which promote growth, enhance the quality of the flesh of slaughter animals, or which are otherwise beneficial to the organism. If the compositions or the compounds of formula I contained therein are added direct to the solid or liquid feed, then the ready prepared feed contains the active ingredient preferably in a concentration of about 0.0005 to 0.02 percent by weight (5-200 ppm).
The compositions of the invention are administered to the animals to be treated perorally, parenterally, subcutaneously or topically, and are in the form of solutions, emulsions, suspensions (drenches), powders, tablets, boluses and capsules.
The anthelmintic compositions of this invention usually contain 0.1 to 99% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 95% by weight, of a compound of formula I, and 99.9 to 1% by weight, preferably 99.9 to 5% by weight, of a solid or liquid adjuvant, including 0 to 25% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 25% by weight, of a surfactant.
Whereas commercial products will be preferably formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ dilute formulations.
The compositions may also contain further ingredients such as stabilisers, antifoams, viscosity regulators, binders, tackifiers or other active ingredients in order to obtain special effects.
Such anthelmintic compositions employed by the end user likewise constitute an object of the present invention.
The invention is illustrated in more detail by the following non-limitative Examples.

4. BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLE
The following test procedure is employed to demonstrate the anthelmintic activity of the compounds of formula I:
EXAMPLE 4.1
Trial with sheep infected with nematodes such as Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus colubriformis
The test compound is administered in the form of a suspension with a stomach probe or by intrarumenal injection to sheep which have been artificially infected beforehand with nematodes such as Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus colubriformis. One to three animals are used for each trial and for each dose. Each sheep is treated with only a single dose. A first evaluation is made by comparing the number of worm eggs excreted in the faeces of the sheep before and after treatment. The sheep are slaughtered and dissected 7 to 10 days after treatment. Evaluation is made by counting the number of worms remaining in the intestine after treatment. Untreated sheep infected simultaneously and in the same manner are used as controls.
Compared with untreated and infected control groups, nematode infestation is reduced by 90% or more in sheep which are treated with a suspension formulation of a compound of Table I at a dose of 20 mg/kg of body weight or less. For example compounds 1, 2, 9 and 76 reduce nematode infestation by at least 90% when applied at a dose of 20 mg/kg of body weight. Moreover, compounds 42, 44, 46, 48, 49, 56, 57, 59, 61, 72, 73, 79, 80, 84, 139, 140, 144 and 153 reduce nematode infestation by 90% or more when applied at a dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight.
