PHENYL-SALICYLIC ACID.
Also termed ortlto-oxy-diplcnyl-carbonic acid, and said
to be represented by the formula HC6-OH,H3C6.CO.C IH.
Physical Properties.-P/lenyl-salicylic acid occurs in
the form of a white powder.
Solubility.-Ortho-oxy-diphenyl-carbonic acid is sol-
uble in alcohol, ether, and glycerin, but is only slightly
soluble in water.
Therapeutic Applications.-This new acid is claimed
to possess antiseptic properties, its bactericidal power
being as great as that of salicylic acid. It is suggested
as a local remedy, since its difficult solubility prevents it
from producing poisonous effects. This acid, especially
its sodium salt, is at present only being studied, and
therefore nothing definite can be stated as regards its
internal administration.
PHLORIDZIN.
A glucosidal principle obtained from the bark of the
apple, pear, and other fruit-trees. Its chemical composi-
tion is C21H24010.
Physical Properties.-This drug occurs in small
white, silky, crystalline needles with a melting-point of
from 222.8 to 226.4 F. (io6 to Io80 C.); at 226 F.
(1300 C.) it becomes solid, and it again melts at from
3380 to 339.8 F. (170 to 17I C.).
Solubility.-This remedy is soluble in hot water and
in alcohol.
Therapeutic Applications.-Ploridzin has been rec-
ommended as an antipyretic, but as such is not largely
used. This drug is said to produce in animals artificial
diabetes.
Administration.-This medicament may be given in
daily doses of from 15 to 30 grains (I to 2 grammes).
