A simplified method of evaluating dose-effect experiments.

TL;DR: The method provides means for the rapid test of parallelism of two curves and easy computation of relative potency with its confidence limits and its accuracy is commensurate with the nature of dose-per cent effect data.

A simplified method of evaluating dose-effect experiments

TL;DR: In this article, a rapid graphic method for approximating the median effective dose and the slope of dose-per-cent effect curves is presented, and confidence limits of both of these parameters for 19/20 probability are given by the method.

Comparative effect of antirheumatic drugs on adjuvant-induced polyarthritis in rats

TL;DR: Adjuvant arthritis of rats is established as an experimental model for testing antiartliritic drugs and it is suggested that this model would be more useful for drug evaluation with improved techniques for measuring joint swelling and tenderness.

A biogenetically patterned conversion of magnoflorine into taspine

TL;DR: Ozonation of diacetylmagnoflorine methine followed by oxidation and lactonization affords taspine, which is then converted to methine by reaction of methine with Na6(CO3)SO4 and Na2SO4.
