“…Methyridine [2-(2 methoxyethyl) pyridine], a colourless water-miscible liquid, was introduced in 1961. It was the first anthelmintic to possess the then novel characteristic of being more efficient when given subcutaneously than when given by mouth (Broome & Greenhalgh, 1961). The drug is moderately well-tolerated at approximately 200 mg/kg (Walley, 1961) Dullness and anorexia have been reported but the most marked effect is local oedema at the site of injection, followed by necrosis (Thorpe, 1962).…”

“…Although certain pyridine alkaloids possess anthelmintic properties, no simple pyridine derivative had shown useful activity until the recent paper of Broome & Greenhalgh (1961) describing the effects of 2-(/-methoxyethyl)pyridine (methyridine) )CH2 CHz2OCH3 I (I) (active principle of "Promintic," Imperial Chemical Industries). It was shown that methyridine has considerable anthelmintic activity against experimental nematode infections of mice.…”

“…Broome (13) απέδειξε ότι αυτή η δράαη οφειλόταν οτην παρουσία του ενζύμου L-ασπαραγινάοη στον ορό του ινδικού χοιριδίου. Αυ τές οι παρατηρηθείς, μαζί με το γεγονός ότι μια ασπαραγινάση α πό E.coli είχε επίσης αντιλεμφωματική δραστικότητα (14), οδήγη σαν σε σημαντική αύξηση του ενδιαφέροντος για την αοπαραγινάση.…”
