The compound of the general formula (I) to be used according to the invention and their salts additionally contain one or more centres of chirality and can thus be present in pure stereoisomers or in the form of various enantiomer and diastereomer mixtures which, if necessary, can be separated in a manner known per se. The invention therefore relates both to the pure enantiomers and diastereomers, and to their mixtures for the control of endoparasites, particularly in the field of medicine and veterinary medicine.
Preferably, however, the optically active, stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the general formula (I) and their salts are used according to the invention.
Suitable salts of the compounds of the general formula (I) which can be mentioned are customary non-toxic salts, i.e. salts with various bases and salts with added acids. Preferably, salts with inorganic, bases such as alkali metal salts, for example sodium, potassium or caesium salts, alkaline earth metal salts, for example calcium or magnesium salts, ammonium salts, salts with organic bases and also with organic amines, for example triethylammonium, pyridinium, picolinium, ethanolammonium, triethanolammonium, dicyclohexylammonium or N,N′-dibenzylethylenediammonium salts, salts with inorganic acids, for example hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, dihydrosulphates or trihydrophosphates, salts with organic carboxylic acids or organic sulpho acids, for example formates, acetates, trifluoroacetates, maleates, tartrates, methanesulphonates, benzenesulphonates or para-toluenesulphonates, salts with basic amino acids or acidic amino acids, for example arginates, aspartates or glutamates, may be mentioned.
In particular, the groups of compounds mentioned in the following Tables 1 to 84 may be mentioned.
Very particularly preferred compounds are those of the formula (Ia-1) and their salts, consisting of the N-methyl-amino acid N-methyl-alanine (R1, R2=methyl and R3=hydrogen) and the 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid 2-hydroxyacetic acid (R4, R5=hydrogen) which are indicated in the following Tables 1 to 13.

The products which are formed can be purified in a customary manner by recrystallization, vacuum distillation or column chromatography (cf. also the Preparation Examples).
Using processes 3a to 3f according to the invention, didepsipeptides of both L- and D-configuration are obtainable from the individual components, retaining the original configuration but also inversion is possible of the starting substances.
By the “inert solvents” described in the above process variants 3a to 3f, in each case solvents are meant which are inert under the respective reaction conditions, but do not have to be inert under any reaction conditions.
The active compounds have favourable toxicity for warm-blooded mammals and are suitable for controlling pathogenic endoparasites which occur in humans and in productive, breeding, zoo, laboratory, experimental animals and pets in animal keeping and animal breeding. In this connection, they are resistant to all or individual stages of development of the pests and to resistant and normally sensitive strains. By controlling the pathogenic endoparasites, disease, cases of death and yield reductions (e.g. in the production of meat, milk, wool, hides, eggs, honey etc.) should be decreased so that as a result of the use of the active compounds more economical and simpler animal keeping is possible.

Starting Substances of the Formula (I)

Example (I-1)
N-Benzyl-N-methyl-L-alanyl-D-lactic Acid Piperidide




5.4 g (41.4 mmol) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (Hünig's base) and 5.3 g (20.7 mmol) of bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)-phosphonium acid chloride (BOP-Cl) are added at 0° C. to a solution of 5.0 g (18.8 mmol) of N-benzyl-N-methyl-L-alanyl-D-lactic acid and 1.6 g (20.7 mmol) of piperidine in 150 ml of methylene chloride, and the mixture is stirred at 0° C. for two hours and then at room temperature for 18 hours. The residual crude product is chromatographed on a silica gel column (silica gel 60—Merck, particle size: 0.04 to 0.063 mm) using the eluent cyclohexane:ethyl acetate (3:1). 3.5 g (55.8% of theory) of N-benzyl-N-methyl-L-alanyl-D-lactic acid piperidide are obtained.
EI-MS m/z (%): 332 (M+, 1); 213 (2); 192 (2); 148 (100); 120 (35); 91 (55)
Example (I-2)
Methyl-L-alanyl-D-lactic Acid Piperidide




3.3 g (9.9 mmol) of N-benzyl-N-methyl-L-alanyl-D-lactic acid piperidide are hydrogenated in 100 ml of ethanol in the presence of 0.35 g of Pd(OH)2-carbon [20% Pd content] until absorption of hydrogen is complete (about 4 hours). After filtering off the catalyst, the entire reaction solution is concentrated in vacuo. 2.4 g (100% of theory) of N-methyl-L-alanyl-D-lactic acid piperidide are obtained.
GC-MS m/z (%): 243 (MH+, 100); 158 (32)
Example (I-3)
Methyl N-benzyl-N-methyl-L-alanyl-D-lactate




The coupling reaction is carried out analogously to the reaction procedure of Example 1 using:

    
    
        18.5 g (95.7 mmol) of N-benzyl-N-methyl-L-alanine,
        10.0 g (95.7 mmol) of methyl (R)-(+)-lactate,
        300 ml of absol. methylene chloride,
        36.7 g (284.5 mmol) of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (“Hünig's base”),
        29.0 g of bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)-phosphonium acid chloride (BOP-Cl).
    
    


The residual crude product is chromatographed on a silica gel column (silica gel 60—Merck, particle size: 0.04 to 0.063 mm) using the eluent cyclohexane:ethyl acetate (3:1). 5.6 g (20.9% of theory of methyl N-benzyl-N-methyl-L-alanyl-D-lactate are obtained.
EI-MS m/z (%): 279 (M+, 11); 148 (Ph-CH2—NMe-CHMe, 100); 91 (Ph-CH2—, 99).
