The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel
rodenticide. According to the present invention, there is provided a
rodenticide comprising a compound represented by general formula (I), a salt thereof, or a
prodrug thereof. (In the formula, R1 and R2 each independently represent a
hydrogen atom or an
alkyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms; n represents an integer of 1-3; R3, R4, R5, and R6 each independently represent a
hydrogen atom or an
alkyl group having 1-6 carbon atoms; X represents COOH, -C(=O)NH-Z, -CH(OH)-(Y)m-CH(OH)R7, -NH-CO-O-R10, -CO-O-R10 or -NH-CO-N(R11)-R10; Z represents a
hydrogen atom, -CN, an
alkyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms, an alkoxyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms, or a hydroxyl group; Y represents -C(R8)(R9)-, -C(=O)-, or -C(=CH2)-; m represents an integer of 0-3; R7, R8, and R9 each independently represent a
hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1-8 carbon atoms; each of alkyl groups having 1-8 carbon atoms which are respectively represented by Z, R7, R8 and R9 may have a
substituent selected from a carboxyl group and a hydroxyl group; and R10 and R11 each independently represent a
hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms which may have a
substituent.)
