FIELD OF THE INVENTION 15 This invention relates to novel N-heteroaryl compounds that are useful as medicaments, the preparation of Such com pounds and the use of Such compounds. The medicament can preferably be used for the treatment of parasitic infections o such as helminth infections and especially for the treatment of parasitoses, such as caused by helminth infections. This invention also relates to uses of the compounds to make medicaments and treatments comprising the administration of the compounds to animals in need of the treatments. More- 25 over this invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising the compounds. wherein R" is halogen, C-C-alkyl, C-C-alkyloxy, C-C-alky BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION lthio, C-C-alkenyl, C-C-alkynyl, C-C-alkyloxy C-C- 30 alkyl, C-C-alkylthio C-C-alkyl, C-C-alkyl carbonyl, Parasitic diseases in animals cause Substantial Suffering C-C-alkenyl carbonyl, SFs, C-C-alkyl sulfonyl, wherein and economic losses throughout the world.
