Drug
A TEAM of ICI chemists and biologists has discovered a new anti-malarial drug, to be known as Paludrine.
This is a much simpler chemical com pound than any anti-malarial drug pre viously known. It is much more powerful, and has a much wider influence upon malaria than any known specific.
Paludrine was first administered to human patients by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, and clinical trials began at the school in February.
In the course of the work more than 100 cases were successfully treated. Sup plies of the new drug were flown to Australia for most extensive clinical trials, which confirmed that this new drug is not only more effective, but is also considerably less toxic than either mepacrine or quinine. —Prom the “Crown Colonist.”
