Evaluation of a wide range of avermectin derivatives for flea activity in an in vitro feeding screen using the cat flea, Ctenocephalides felis, revealed a narrow structure-activity relationship (SAR) with activity surprisingly associated with monosaccharides and especially their C-5-oximes. We discovered commercially exploitable flea activity in a single compound, selamectin 33, which also possessed the necessary antiparasitic spectrum and margin of safety for development as a broad-spectrum companion animal endectocide.
