Abstract
Nitrohydroxyalkylquinoxaline-1,4-dioxides represented by the formula ##STR1## where R is hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms, hydroxymethyl or acetoxymethyl and R' is hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1-2 carbon atoms or R and R' taken together can be alkylene of 5 carbon atoms and alkanoic acid esters thereof. The compounds are useful for promoting growth rate of animals and improving their feed efficiency.
Claims23
A method of promoting the growth rate of animals comprising administering to them daily in their feed rations a compound of the formula ##STR3## in an amount of from 50 to 150 g/ton of the feed rations, where R is hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms, hydroxymethyl or acetoxymethyl and R' is hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1-2 carbon atoms, or R and R' taken together constitute an alkylene group of 5 carbon atoms.
Nitrohydroxyalkylquinoxaline-1,4-dioxides represented by the formula ##STR4## where R is hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms, hydroxymethyl or acetoxymethyl and R' is hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1-2 carbon atoms or R and R' taken together constitute an alkylene group of five carbon atoms.
Compounds represented by the formula ##STR5## where R is hydrogen, lower alkyl of 1-3 carbon atoms, hydroxymethyl or acetoxymethyl and R' is hydrogen or lower alkyl of 1-2 carbon atoms or R and R' taken together constitute an alkylene group of five carbon atoms.
