T h e results of pharmacologic studies indicated that (1) the benzene ring imparts to the biuret molecule toxic properties; (2) the piperidine ring endows to the biuret molecule favorable hypnotic and anticonvulsant properties; and (3) the biuret chain seems to be associated wlth the reduction of bxicity. Of the four new biurets studied, only IV was found to possess valuable properties. It resembles sodium pentobarbital in its pharmacologic action and is only one tenth as toxic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
