APPLICATIONS

Closantel is a broad-spectrum salicylanilide anthelmintic used as anti-trematode, anti-nematodes and anti-arthropods in combination with benzimidazole anthelmintic such as mebendazole. It is a white to yellowish powder; insoluble in water; soluble in dimethylformamide and acetone; melting point 215 C. Its chemical designation is 5'-Chloro-alpha4-(p-chlorophenyl)- alpha4-cyano- 3,5-diiodo-2',4'-salicyloxylidide. Closantel is used as an acaricide.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION  OF SALICYLANILIDE

Salicylic Acid is a white crystalline powder or needle-shaped crystals with sweetish taste; soluble in acetone, ether, alcohol, boiling water, benzene and turpentine, sparingly soluble in chloroformbenzene, slightly soluble in water; melts at 158 C. It is prepared commercially by sodium salicylate which derived from sodium phenolate with carbon dioxide under heating and pressure. It contains both a hydroxyl and a carboxyl group, which react with either an acid or an alcohol. The carboxyl group forms esters with alcohols; e.g. methyl salicylate is formed with methanol, which used in food flavorings and preservatives; menthyl salicylate is formed with methanol, which is used in suntan lotions; phenyl salicylate (called salol) is formed with phenol, which is used as an antiseptic and antipyretic agent. The hydroxyl group reacts with acetic acid to form acetylsalicylic acid (called aspirin). Salicylic Acid is important for the preparation of other pharmaceutical products, dyes, flavours, and preservatives. The sodium salt (Sodium salicylate), a shiny white powder, is used for antiseptics preparations and as a preservative. Salicylic Acid derivatives are used in formulating flavors, preservatives and UV absorbers for food and cosmetics as well as plastics. They are used in manufacturing pharmaceuticals mainly analgestics and antipyretics for the relief of pain and fever. Anilide is an amide in which one or more hydrogens are replaced by phenyl; having the C6H5NH2-group. Brominated salicylanilides are used as disinfectants with antibacterial and antifungal activities, used mainly in medicated soaps. Bromsalans are examples:
  • Dibromsalan (CAS #: 87-12-7): 4',5-Dibromosalicylanilide
  • Metabromsalan (CAS #: 2577-72-2): 3,5-Dibromosalicylanilide
  • Tribromsalan (CAS #: 87-10-5): 3,4',5-Tribromosalicylanilide

Some salicylanilide derivatives are used as aromatic amide pesticides and anthelmintics.
