  • Patent number: 4897383
    Abstract: There are disclosed novel avermectin derivatives wherein the 3"- or 3'-methoxy group and/or the 4"- or 4'-hydroxyl group are replaced by hydrogen. The 3"- or 3'-desmethoxy-avermectins can further be derivatized at the 4"- or 4'-positions as the amino, semicarbazone or oxime analogs. The 3"- or 3'-desmethoxy-avermectins are prepared by the reaction of Samarium iodide on the corresponding 4"- or 4'-oxo-avermectins. The 4"- or 4'-deoxo-avermectins are prepared by radical deoxygenation of the corresponding hydroxy-avermectins. Di-deoxygenated avermectin derivatives are obtained by combination of these two methods or by treating avermectin aglycone or avermectin monosaccharide with a dihydropyran. The new compounds are potent anti-parasitic agents, in particular, the compounds are anthelmintic, insecticidal and acaricidal agents.
