Synthesis of Furo‐salicylanilides and Their Heterocyclic Derivatives with Anticipated Molluscicidal Activity

The synthesis of new furo‐salicylanilides and their heterocyclic derivatives is described. Twenty‐three compounds were screened for their molluscicidal activity against Biomphalaria alexandrina snails, the intermediate host of Schistosoma mansoni. Five of the tested compounds showed no activity, while eighteen compounds showed strong to moderate activity using bayluscide as a reference.
