Abstract

F151 was a potent filaricide against adult Brugia pahangi in cats and jirds.

HOE 33258 did not kill adult worms in cats but had a marginal effect on adult worms in the peritoneal cavity of jirds. It was not immediately microfilaricidal in cats but the microfilarial counts of treated cats fell within a few weeks of treatment.

The reaction product, or mixture, of these two compounds (V5851 = E) was strongly macrofilaricidal m cats and jirds.
