Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1907, Vol. 79: Published by Authority of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy Since Gerock first isolated strychnine from the total alkaloids of nux vomica by nitrating the brucine, numerous methods have been suggested whereby the alkaloidal nature of the brucine may be totally destroyed without affecting the strychnine. Divergent Opinions on the accuracy of the various processes have been ex pressed and much controversy has ensued. The adoption in the usp. 1900 of Gordiu's modification of the Keller process has but served to stimulate such discussion until there is at present no more interesting and, in view of the strict rulings of the Food and Drug Commission, no more important question before the pharmaceutical chemist than the determination of strychnine in nux vomica.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1863, Vol. 35: Published by Authority of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy Gentlemen: I propose to set forth in a summary manner in this lecture the history of organic radicals, the study of which, though dating back scarcely thirty years, has produced fruitful results, and contributed largely to the development of organic chemistry. We give the name of radicals to particular compounds, whose complex nature may be rendered evident by the aid of physical forces, or by the intervention of reagents; but which, though formed of many elements, present the characters of simple bodies and exercise functions precisely similar. They are, in a word, compounds which possess the property of forming with' simple bodies, combinations entirely analogous to those which the latter produce by their mutual union. Among the radicals some are known in the isolated state; these may be handled and made to combine and to separate under influences which enable us to make and unmake chemical compounds of most varied character, such as cyanogen, cacodyl, stibethyl, &c.; but the greatest number, it must be admitted, have only a purely hypothetical existence. Among the latter are methyl, ethyl, acetyl, benzo'ile, ammonium, 850. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. 29 In the London Journal of Pharmacy, vol. iii, page ICO, will be found an article, by Dr. Alexander Ure, upon the South American bark called the Malambo or Matias bark, a short extract of which will be found in the appendix to the U. S. Dispensatory, page 1849. Dr. Ure states in his paper, that Malambo or Matias bark is the product of a tree in Colombia, S. A., and that it was placed in his hands by Hugh Houston, Esq., which gentleman received it from Dr. Mackay, who communicated, two papers respecting it to the British Association, and mentions having procured from it by distillation two oils, one lighter than water, of a specific gravity 0-949; the other denser, of a specific gravity 1-028. He further obtained a brown, bitter extractive substance. Dr. Mackny remarked, that it had been successfully used in intermittent fever, in convalescence from continued fever, in hemicrania, dyspepsia, and a variety of chronic ailments, where tonics and stimulants were indicated; and that as an adjunct to diuretic remedies, it had been found eminently useful. Dr. Ure describes the Malambo or Matias bark to be three or four lines in thickness, brittle, though somewhat fibrous; emitting when fresh bruised an aromatic flavor, not unlike that of calamus; color of a brown hue, covered with an ash-colored tuberculous epiderm, and possessing a bitter pungent taste. With water it forms an agreeable bitter infusion; with alcohol, a powerful bitter tincture. Ether extracts from it volatile oil and resin. Heated along with hydrate of potash, free ammonia is disengaged, indicating the presence of an azotized principle. It is without astringency. It appears to coincide, as suggested to me b)T M. Guibourt, both in regard to physical and sensible properties, with Malambo, the Indian name for the bark of a tree which grows in New Granada, and which is held in high esteem among the natives as a febrifuge and stomachic. Malambo bark was analysed by M. Cadet Gassicourt, about twenty-eight years ago (Journ. de Pharmacies tom. ii, p. 372); subsequently by M. Vauquelin, who ascertained the presence of three distinct substances, namely: 1. An aromatic volatile oil. 2. A very bitter resin.

Excerpt from The American Journal of Pharmacy, 1910, Vol. 82 This subject cannot be considered, even superficially, by one who comprehends, even to a degree, its outreaches, without a ques tion as to whether, by reason of the limitation of time, that which most appeals may be reached at all. Its field touches and its sub stance involves the various professions and arts of medicine, botany, chemistry, pharmacy, and biology in their many and diversified phases. But scant justice can be given to most of these, for they could not be satisfactorily treated in a volume.

Excerpt from American Journal of Pharmacy, Vol. 73: June, 1901 Observations prove that it is not the hydroxyl groups in them selves nor always the terminal groups that determine solely the action of a substance, but the character and complexity of the mole cule. However, these groups assist in bringing the entire molecule into action with certain chemical compounds in the organism. When the reactive group which exerts the selective action of the compound in the organism is slightly altered or covered, then under conditions we can prevent the action of the entire compound. Between such terminal groups as hydroxyl or methoxyl and certain nerve centers or points in the organism where chemical substances react, definite chemical relations must exist. Through changes in these terminal groups we are able to move the point of attack of the substance or to render it absolutely inactive, but as long as it remains active, the fundamental characters of its action (although frequently modified) always manifest themselves, as for example the alkaloids and their derivatives.
