It is also concerned with a new composition containing, as an active anticoccidial agent, the pyridine derivative (I).
Coccidiosis is a common and widespread disease of poultries, especially chickens and turkeys, and domestic animals such as rabbits, goats, sheep, and cattles, which disease is caused by a kind of protozoa belonging to class Sporozoa, order Coccidia, family Eimeriidae.
Coccidiosis of poultries and domestic animals is caused mainly by the protozoa belonging to genus Eimeria, which disease is classified to an acute type and a chronic one.
The former is caused by such species as E. tenella and E. necatrix, and the characteristic feature of the disease is a copious bloody discharges from the ceca and small intestine of diseased poultries, which often die within a day or two.
The latter is caused by such species as E. acervulina, E. maxima, E. brunetti, E. praecox, E. hagani, E. mitis and E. mivati, and the characteristic feature of the disease is that the mortality of diseased poultries is rather few, whereas a poor weight gain, a reduced feed efficiency and a reduced efficiency of egg-production are commonly observed.
Infant rabbits as well as cattles, sheep and goats sometimes cause severe lesions by parasite Eimeria within their livers and intestines.
Oocysts of coccidia are excreted from an infected animal with feces, and spores having infectivity are produced within 24 - 48 hours under suitable conditions, which spores enter into a non-infected animal orally.
Oocysts grow at first asexually within the cells of the ceacum or small intestine of the host animal, during which time the heaviest symptoms is observed. Then, they grow sexually and are excreted with the feces of the host animal and they exhibit an awful communicability.
The elimination or control of coccidiosis is, therefore, of paramount importance particularly in the poultry industry.
There have been proposed much preventive and curative methods for coccidiosis. One of them is a development in chemotherapeutic agents such as sulfa drugs, arsenic compounds, nitrofuran derivatives, nitrophenide, Nicarbazine, Zoalane, pyrimidine derivatives (anti-thiamines), quinoline derivatives, guanidine derivatives, various antibiotics and so on.
But they have some defects; i.e. weak activity, narrow anti-protozoal spectrum, lack of security for animals or acquired resistance to the drugs by protozoa, respectively. Therefore, treatment with the hither-to-known anticoccidial agent is not satisfactory.
It was reported in Nature 208, 397 (1965) and U.S. Pat. No. 3,202,576 that 3-sulfamoylpyridine, 4-methyl-3-sulfamoylpyridine and so on are effective against chronic coccidiosis caused by Eimeria acervulina, but ineffective against acute coccidiosis caused by Eimeria tenella etc.
As a result of our further studies on pyridine derivatives and their anticoccidial activities, we have found that the new pyridine derivatives (I) surprisingly show a remarkably high anticoccidial activity, specifically, against the acute coccidiosis caused by E. tenella, E. necatrix etc. and they are also highly effective against those strains resistant to known various thiamine type anticoccidial agents.
It is, accordingly, a primary object of this invention to provide a new class of the pyridine derivatives (I) which are highly effective against specific coccidiosis.
It is another object of this invention to provide an anticoccidial composition which are highly effective in treating and preventing specific coccidiosis.

According to another aspect of this invention, novel compositions are provided in wich a pyridine derivative (I) is present as an active ingredient. Such compositons comprise the pyridine derivative intimately dispersed in or admixed with an inert carrier. The term "inert carrier" as used herein means are that is substantially non-reactive with the active ingredient, orally ingestable and tolerated by the poultry.
The amount of pyridine derivative required for control of coccidiosis in poultry will vary somewhat with the specific compound employed, the species of animals, the method or the object of application or with the symptoms. Generally, the pyridine derivatives (I) are effective in preventing the disease without undesirable side effect and toxic effect when administered at a level of more than about 0.004% by weight of the feed. For good prophylactic results, it is preferred that the feed contains between about 0.004 and 0.025% by weight of the active ingredient, more preferably between about 0.0075 and 0.0125%. When the pyridine derivatives are to be employed for therapeutic purpose, the higher levels are used for shorter period of time. Thus, the concentrations of about 0.05% to about 0.1% by weight of the feed may be advantageously administered for treatment of coccidiosis. When these compounds are to be employed for therapeutic purpose, it is desirable to employ the lowest levels that exhibit anticoccidial activities, in order to eliminate any risk of side effects that may appear on prolonged feeding.
In preparing solid compositions, a uniform dispersion of the active ingredient throughout the carrier can be readily accomplished by the conventional methods of grinding, stirring or milling.
Many of these pyridine derivatives are advantageously administered to poultry by way of the drinking water of the birds. This method of treatment may often be employed in the therapeutic use, since poultry with coccidiosis are apt to consume less solid feed than normal birds.
According to still another aspect of this invention, novel compositions are provided in which active ingredient is present in relatively large amounts and which are suitable for addition to the poultry feed directly or after intermediate dilution step. Such compositions which are a preferred feature of this invention are the so-called feed supplements or premix. Representative examples of the carriers to be employed in this invention are solid oral carriers such as distillers dried grains, corn starch, potato starch, fermentation residues, ground oyster shells, Attapulgus clay, rice bran, wheat bran, wheat middling, molasses solubles, corn meal, edible vegetable substances, soybean cake, soybean meal, antibiotic mycelis, crushed lime stone and the like. Formulations containing from about 5% to about 30% by weight, and preferably from about 10 - 25% by weight, of the active ingredient are particularly suitable for this purpose. It is preferable in the industry to use about 1 - 3 kg. of such a supplement per ton of feed.
According to another aspect of this invention, the present composition may preferably include other known anticoccidial agents to broaden its anticoccidial spectrum and, sometimes, expect a synergistic effect.
Suitable examples of such anticoccidial agents include, for example, sulfa drugs, e.g., Sulfachloropyrazine, Sulfadimethoxine, Sulfaquinoxaline; thiamine derivatives, e.g., Beclotiamine, Amprolium, Dimethialium; quinoline derivatives, e.g., Buquinolate, Decoquinate, Methyl Benzoquate; folic acid antagonistic substances, e.g., pyrimethamin, Diaveridine; antibiotics, e.g., Monesin; Zolene (3,5-dinitro-o-toluamide), Clopidol (3,5-dichloro-2,6-dimethyl-4-pyridinol), Robenzidine; and the like.
The formulation of the compounds and the coccidiostatic activity of the compounds are more fully illustrated by the non-limiting examples as follows.
In these examples, all the parts are given by weight unless otherwise indicated.
The following are three typical formulations for feed supplements in accordance with the present invention:
The coccidiostatic activity of the pyridine derivatives (I) of this invention is determined by the following method:
Test Procedures
(1) Chicks: Fourteen-day-old White Leghorn males (after hatched, fed a diet containing no anticoccidial agent and isolated as far as possible from the risk of extraneous coccidial infections) were used.
Each group consisted of 10 chicks so as to avoid the difference of mean weight (significance level, 5%). (2) Infections: Each chick was inoculated orally into the crop with 42,000 sporulated oocysts of Eimeria tenella. (3) Concentration of tested compounds: Each tested compound as indicated below as mixed to the commercially available mixed feed at the concentration of 200 ppm. (4) Test procedures: The above chicks were isolated from those suffering coccidiosis and observed on their states of health. Normal healthy chicks were weighed and divided into groups, each consisting of 10 chicks so as to avoid the significant difference of average body weight (significance level 5%). On the other hand, two control groups of infected and non-medicated chicks and non-infected and non-medicated ones were separately prepared. After dividing into groups, a given number of oocysts were inoculated to all groups except for the non-infected and non-medicated control group, simultaneously with the feeding of a diet containing the test compound. Two control groups were fed with a diet which has the same formula (the same lot) and not test compound. (5) Evaluation: They are weighed from the beginning of the test to the end (when administered and infected) constantly. Daily oocysts outputs are determined as oocysts per gram feces during a period from day 4 to 6 after infection. The daily samples from each treatment are pooled and recorded as a percentage to that of the infected and non-medicated control. After 7 days from the infection, all chicks are sacrificed and the degree of the lesion of ceca are indicated as a 0 to 4 visual scale and determined by the method of Johnson and Reid described in Experimental Parasitology vol. 28, 30 - 36 pp., (1970).
Evaluation item's values are calculated according to the following equations, respectively.
(i) Rate of oocyst production (%) ##EQU1##
The accumulated oocyst outputs per gram feces, on 6 or 7 days after infection, is defined as "oocyst number".
(ii) Relative rate of weight grain (%) ##EQU2##
The total of the weight gain from the beginning of the test to the end divided with the number of the chicks is defined as "average weight gain".
(iii) Mean lesion score of cecum ##EQU3## (iv) Mortality ##EQU4##
The results are listed in the following Table.
It will be evident from the above results that the pyridine derivatives of the abovementioned formula (I) possess an extremely high degree of an anticoccidial activity against acute coccidiosis caused by E. tenella, accompanying with good weight gain of the poultry without any unfavorable side effects.
