Novel avermectin and milbemycin derivatives are disclosed, where the C-24 and C-25 carbon atoms are substituted by hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, substituted alkyl or substituted alkenyl groups. These compounds can be further substituted at the 4˝-, 5-, 13-, and 23-positions. The new C-24 and C-25 substituted avermectin and milbemycin derivatives are prepared by cleavage of known and suitably protected avermectin and milbemycin compounds. The new compounds are potent anti-parasitic agents, in particular, the compounds are anthelmintic, insecticidal and acaricidal agents.

Avermectin analogs are disclosed wherein the 6,6-spiroketal ring system has been reduced in size to a 6,5-spiroketal ring system by the deletion of the 25-position carbon atom and the 25-alkyl substituent. This is accomplished by opening the outer spiroketal ring with the elimination of ring carbon atoms 23, 24 and 25 and the alkyl substituent at the 25-position and incorporation a new component, reclosing the spiroketal to a 5-membered ring with new substituents at the 24-position. The compounds are used as anti-parasitic insecticidal and anti-helmintic agents in humans and animals and compositions containing such compounds as the active ingredient thereof are also disclosed.
Avermectin derivatives are disclosed wherein the 4˝-hydroxy group is replaced by a substituted alkylthio or acylthio group or an iodo group. These avermectin derivatives can be further derivatized at the 5- and 23-positions as ketoximes or O-substituted ketoximes. The 4˝-substituted avermectin derivatives are prepared from the 4˝- and 4′-trifluoromethanesulfonyl avermectin derivatives with halo- or sulfur-containing nucleophiles. The 4˝- and 4′-α-and β-trifluoromethane sulfonates are prepared selectively and converted into 4˝- or 4′-alkyl- or acylsulfides, or iodides using the appropriate sulfur-containing or iodine nucleophile. Substituted sulfoxy and sulfonyl substituents at the 4˝- and 4′-positions are prepared from oxidation of the corresponding substituted sulfides. The new compounds are potent anti-parasitic agents; in particular, the compounds are anthelmintic, insecticidal and acaricidal agents.
