Abstract
Avermectins and milbemycins are useful in the treatment or prophylaxis of endo- and ectoparasitic infestations in ruminants.
Description
Use of avermectins and milbe ycins for treating parasitic infestations in ruminants.
This invention relates to a method of treating parasites in ruminant animals. 5
This invention is particularly concerned with the use of certain avermectins and milbemycins described in EP-A-0 421 568 (USSN 525,094) for the treatment or prophylaxis of endo- and ectoparasitic infestations of 10 ruminants, such as cattle and sheep.
The compounds used in this invention have parasiticidal properties, for example against nematodes, and are useful for the treatment of helminthiasis in ruminant animals.
15
The term helminthiasis encompasses diseases of animals caused by infestation with parasitic worms such as Strongyles, Ascarids, hookworms, lungworms, filarial worms and whipworms.

The compounds used in this invention are also active against Arthropods. The phylum Arthropoda comprises insects - such as biting flies, lice, bugs, beetles and fleas - and arachnids - such as mites and ticks.

Thus the present invention provides the use of a compound of general formula (I) as defined below for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prophylaxis of endo and ectoparasitic infestations, especially helminthiasis and
30 arthropod or nematode infestations, in ruminant animals, such as sheep and cattle.
The present invention also provides a method of treatment or prophylaxis of endo- and ectoparasitic infestations, 35 especially helminthiasis and anthropod or nematode infestations, which comprises administering an effective
non-toxic amount of a compound of general formula (I) as defined below to a ruminant animal in need thereof.
This invention is particularly concerned with the use of a compound of general formula (I) to combat infestations in ruminants of lice, lungworm, Hypoderma (the larval stage of warble fly) and gastrointestinal worms (such as Cooperia, Trichostronqylus, Haemonchus) . As indicated above the present invention includes prophylatic treatment of healthy animals to prevent infestation, as well as treatment of infected animals.
For use according to the invention the compounds of general formula (I) may be formulated for administration with carriers and adjuvants in any convenient way for use in veterinary medicine, by analogy with known anthelmintics.
In suitable formulations the compounds of general formula (I) may be administered to animals orally (as a paste, drench, bolus, capsule or tablet) , parenterally, percutaneously, as a food additive (eg granules, pellets or powder) , topically (as a cream, wash or spray) , or transdermally (as a pour-on) .
The compounds of general formula (I) may be formulated as a mixture with each other and/or with other anthelmintics, insecticides, acaricides or other pharmacologically active substances.
Suitably the composition consists of sufficient material to provide a dose of from 0.001 to lOOmg of active ingredient per kg of animal body weight per dose, more suitably 0.01 to lOmg/kg per dose.
A composition for use in the invention may suitably contain from 0.1% by weight, preferably from 1.0 to 60% by weight, of the compound of general formula (I) (based on the total
-3- weight of the composition) , depending on the method of administration.
It will be appreciated that, in some cases, it will be 5 advisable to repeat the dosing of the infected or potentially infected animal with the compound of general formula (I) according to conventional dosage regimes used with anthelmintics:
10 The compound used in this invention is an avermectin or milbemycin selected from avermectins and milbemycins having the general formula (I) :

1023 Qxo-25 (S)-t-butyl milbemycin x
To a solution of (4S)-5,5-dimethyl-4-triethylsilyloxy- 1-hexyne (8.3 g, 33 mmol) in THF (100 ml) at -78°C under a nitrogen atmosphere was added butyllithium (1.6M in hexane,
1518.9 ml, 30 mmol) dropwise over a period of 5 mins. and the mixture stirred at -78°C for a further 3 H. A solution of VS 48927 prepared as described in Examples 1 to 3 of EP-A- 0319142 (4.8g, 8.6 mmol) in THF (20 ml) was added to the mixture which was stirred at -78°C for a further 15 mins.
20 The reaction was quenched with a cold solution (—20°C) of glacial acetic acid (10 ml) in THF (10 ml) and the mixture was then allowed to warm to 0°C. Brine (100 ml) was added and the mixture was extracted with ether (3 x 100 ml) . The combined organic extracts were washed with water, dried
25 (MgSO^) and evaporated to an approximate volume of 50 ml. Methanol (50 ml) was added and the solution again evaporated to an approximate volume of 50 ml. 4-Toluenesulphonic acid (lg) was added and the mixture stirred at 20°C for 1 h.
30 Sodium bicarbonate (100 ml) was added to the mixture and the whole extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 100 ml) . The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (100 ml) , dried (MgS04) and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica eluted initially with
dichloromethane and subsequently gradient eluted with 10-60% ethyl acetate in hexane) to afford the methylacetal (3.35g, 66%) .
This product (3.35g 5.7 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (25 ml) and a solution of mercuric oxide (56 mg, 0.26 mmol) water (3.5 ml) and concentrated sulphuric acid (0.75 ml, 14 mmol)was added dropwise at 20°C. The mixture was stirred at 20°C for 2 h., water was added and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 100 ml) . The combined organic layers were washed with sodium bicarbonate solution (100 ml), dried (MgS04) and evaporated to give the title ketone (3.2g)) pure by nmr + tic.

The reaction mixture was concentrated and then treated with water (30 ml) and extracted with ether (3 x 15 ml) . The combined ethereal extracts were dried (MgSO^) and evaporated. The 1:1 mixture* of Z_ and E_ oximes was separated by silica gel preparative thin layer chromatography with hexane - ethyl acetate, 1:1 as eluant.

Example 2
VS 55759 (=E-isomer)
To a solution of 23-oxo-25 (S)-t-butyl milbemycin X
(60 mg 0.1 mmol) and sodium acetate (300 mg, 2.2 mmol) in methanol (3 ml) was added 0-t-butylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (50 mg, 0.4 mmol); The mixture was stirred at 20°C for 1 h., water (10 ml) was added and the whole mixture extracted with dichloromethane (3 x 15 ml) . The combined organic extracts were washed with water, dried (MgS04) and evaporated to dryness. Purification by preparative t.l.c, (silica taper plate* (AnaltechR) eluted with ethyl acetate/hexane 2:5) yielded a 4:1 mixture of E:Z oxime isomers (54 mg) . Treatment of a portion of this mixture (30 mg) with methanol (2 ml) and hydrochloric acid (IM, 0.2 ml) gave a 1:1 E:Z ratio of oxime isomers. The two isomers were separated by preparative t.l.c. (silica taperplate eluted four times with chloroform) .

Efficacy of VS 55759 against Hypoderma in Cattle
Method
Twenty-five yearling cattle of different sexes weighing between 200 to 330 kilograms were used in the study.
Animals were naturally infested with Hypoderma, and were inspected prior to treatment to determine the number of grubs in the animals back. Animals were ranked according to the number of grubs found in the back and assigned to a treatment group so each treatment group had similar infestation levels. Animals within each treatment group were maintained in the same paddock.
Efficacy was determined by monitoring the number of grubs in the animals back weekly. Grub determination were made by palpating the animal's backs weekly until no new grubs appeared. Charts were prepared at each observation period to show the location of each grub. Exiting grubs were observed, if possible, and a determination made as to their viability.
The compound under test was applied by sucutaneous injection.
Results
Animals treated with 100 mg/kg of VS 55759 failed to produce normal, living, exiting larvae. In treated animals, numerous dead, flaccid grubs were observed partially extruded.
No adverse reactions were observed during study.
