The avermectins: A new family of antiparasitic agents.
    Journal of the South African Veterinary Association, 1982, Volume: 53, Issue:2

    The avermectins are macrocyclic lactones produced by fermentation of the soil micro-organism Streptomyces avermitilis. They show activity against a broad range of nematodes and arthropod parasites of domestic animals at dose rates of 300 microgram/kg or less. Unlike the macrolide or polyene antibiotics, they lack significant antibacterial or antifungal activity. By oral or parenteral administration, avermectins are active against gastrointestinal nematodes and lungworms, and important ectoparasites such as lice, mange mites, ticks and larval stages of flies. They show excellent activity against parasites resistant to existing anthelmintics or ectoparasiticides. The avermectins appear to cause paralysis of nematodes and arthropods by opening gamma-aminobutyric acid-mediated chloride channels at the neuromuscular junction.

Polyfluoro 1,3-diketones as systemic insecticides.
    Journal of medicinal chemistry, 1989, Volume: 32, Issue:9

    A series of aryl polyfluoro 1,3-diketones were examined for systemic ectoparasiticidal activity in cattle. The compounds demonstrated efficacy against several economically important species of insects and acarina. At dosages of 5 mg/kg X1 or 0.35 mg/kg per day intraruminally, activity was observed against blowfly larvae (Phormia regina), adult stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans), and lone star tick (Amblyomma americanum). In vivo activity was not directly related to in vitro activity, showing a stronger dependence on perfluoroalkyl-chain length and aryl-group substitution.
