ARSENIC COMPOUNDSf M a p h a rsen .— T h e hem ialcoholate of 3 -am ino-4-hydroxy phenyl-arsine ox id e hydrochloride.— H C l.(N H 2)C eH 3( O H ) A S O .I/ 2 C 2H 5O H . It contains approxim ately 29 per cent o f trivalent arsenic. P r o p e r t i e s : Mapharsen occurs as a white, amorphous, odorless pow der. It is soluble in water, alcohols, acids, alkalis and alkali car bonates. The aqueous solution is acid to methyl red, but alkaline to congo red. A ctions a n d U ses : M apharsen is proposed principally f o r the treatment o f syphilis. It is said to exhibit a relatively constant parasiticidal value. R eactions follow in g the use o f mapharsen have on the w h ole been less severe than those ob served after the use o f arsphenamine or neo-arsphenam ine in the treatment o f syphilis. It is claim ed to affect V in cent’ s infection fav ora b ly and quickly. It is directly and im m edi ately spirocheticidal and th erefore suitable fo r local applica tion. A fte r such application the spirochetes and fu s ifo rm bacilli disappear, w ith healing o f the lesions. D o s a g e : A pp lied locally as pow der o r in solution. Sixty milligrams is said to be sufficient fo r a single treatment. Manufactured by Parke, Davis & Co., Detroit, Mich. U. S. patent applied for. U. S. trademark 299,173.
