Abstract:
A method for controlling animal diseases caused by parasites, which comprises administering to an animal in need thereof a composition comprising an imidazole compound represented by the formula (I): wherein R1 is a cyano group, a group or a group {wherein each of R5 and R6 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group which may be substituted, an alkenyl group which may be substituted, an alkynyl group which may be substituted, a cycloalkyl group which may be substituted, an aryl group which may be substituted, or a â€”COâ€”R7 group (wherein R7 is an alkyl group which may be substituted, an alkoxy group which may be substituted, or an aryl group which may be substituted)},each of R2 and R3 is a hydrogen atom; a halogen atom; a hydroxyl group; a nitro group; a cyano group; a thiocyanate group; a trimethylsilyl group; an alkyl group which may be substituted; a cycloalkyl group which may be substituted; an alkenyl group which may be substituted; a cycloalkenyl group which may be substituted; an alkynyl group which may be substituted; an alkoxy group which may be substituted; a cycloalkyloxy group which may be substituted; an alkenyloxy group which may be substituted; a cycloalkenyloxy group which may be substituted; an alkynyloxy group which may be substituted; an aryl group which may be substituted; an aryloxy group which may be substituted; a 5- or 6-membered aromatic heterocyclic group which may be substituted; a â€”SOnR8 group {wherein R8 is an alkyl group which may be substituted; a cycloalkyl group which may be substituted; an alkenyl group which may be substituted; a cycloalkenyl group which may be substituted; an alkynyl group which may be substituted; an aryl group which may be substituted; a pyridyl group which may be substituted, or a â€”N(R9)R10 group (wherein each of R9 and R10 is an alkyl group), and n is an integer of from 0 to 2}; or a group (wherein W1 is an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom, W2 is an oxygen atom, a sulfur atom or â€”NHâ€”, m is an integer of from 0 to 1, and R11 is an alkyl group which may be substituted; or an aryl group which may be substituted),R4 is an alkyl group which may be substituted; a cycloalkyl group which may be substituted; an aryl group which may be substituted; a thienyl group which may be substituted; a furyl group which may be substituted; or a â€”N(R12)R13 group (wherein each of R12 and R13 is a hydrogen atom; an alkyl group which may be substituted; or an alkenyl group which may be substituted, or they form, together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, a 5- to 7-membered saturated heterocyclic group, provided that R12 and R13 are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms), and provided that R2 and R3 are not simultaneously hydrogen atoms.
