Synthesis and anthelmintic activity of 3'-benzoylurea derivatives of 6-phenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole

J Med Chem. 1991 May;34(5):1630-3. doi: 10.1021/jm00109a015.

Abstract

Reaction of 3-amino derivatives of the nematocides tetramisole and levamisole with variously substituted benzoylisocyanates gave a series of benzoylureas I which were tested for activity against helminths and ectoparasites. Compounds bearing 2,6-difluoro and 4-trifluoromethyl substituents had potent nematocidal activity in both mice and sheep. No antiectoparasitic activity was observed.
