The invention provides novel compounds having the formula: <CHEM> where the broken line indicates a single or a double bond; R1 is hydrogen or halogen; R2 is hydrogen, methyl or loweralkanoyl; R3 is n-propyl or sec-butyl; and R4 is present only when the broken line indicates a single bond and represents hydrogen, hydroxy, loweralkanoyloxy, loweralkylthio, loweralkylsulfinyl, loweralkylsulfonyl or loweralkoxy. These compounds are derivatives of C-076 compounds in which the 13-position is unsubstituted or halogen-substituted. The compounds are prepared by removing the glycosyl groups on the 13-position of the C-076 compounds isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptomyces avermitilis, followed by halogenation and, if desired, by subsequent removal of the halogen. The disclosed compounds are antiparasitic, anthelmintic, insecticidal and acaricidal agents and their use as such also forms part of the invention. |
