title: Synthesis and fasciolicidal activity of 5-chloro-2-methylthio-6-(1-naphthyloxy)-1H-benzimidazole.
abstract: The synthesis and fasciolicidal activity of 5-chloro-2-methylthio-6-(1-naphthyloxy)-1H-benzimidazole (6) is described. Compound 6 showed 100% activity in vitro at 146.70 and 29.34 microM concentrations. It also completely removed 3-d and 10-week-old Fasciola hepatica in sheep at a dose of 15 mg/kg.
