Abstract
Anthelmintic actions of 18 kinds of arylthiourea compounds synthesized were examined using earth worms. 2-Carbethoxyphenylthiourea showed remarkable insecticidal action similar to that of hexylresorcinol used as the control. 4-Carbethoxyphenylthiourea and 2-carbethoxyphenylurea, both possessing similar structure as above, did not show any apparent anthelmintic action. Similar anthelmintic actions were also shown by ethyl anthranilate and ethyl.N-acetylanthranilate as that of 2-carbethoxyphenylthiourea.
