Abstract

A series of a-cyano-B-hydroxypropenamides was prepared and tested for anthelmintic activity. a-Cyano-j3-hydroxy-N-[4-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-3-[4-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl] propenamide (1) showed good activity against the nematode Nematospirodes dubius in a mixed parasite infection in mice; several of the analogues were also effective against the cestode Hymenolepis nana. In sheep trials, 1 caused 100% reduction of the ...
