Abstract: Avermectin and milbemycin derivatives of formula (I) ##STR1## having a double bond at the 3-4 position and a cyano substituent at the 3-position have outstanding anthelmintic properties. They may be prepared by allowing an avermectin or milbemycin derivative having a leaving group at the 5-position, or having double bonds at the 2-3 and 4-5 positions and no substituent at the 5-position, to react with an ionic cyanide.

Abstract: A series of bicyclic imidazole and imidazoline derivatives, including their non-toxic acid addition salts, are disclosed. These particular compounds are useful for combatting ectoparasite and helminth infestations in animals, especially sheep and cattle. 2-(2,3-Dimethylphenyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole represents a typical and preferred member compound. Methods for preparing all these compounds from known starting materials are provided.
