    ANEMONIN. CioH804. J ain principle of the herbs An^m pulsatiUa, A. pratensis and Banun^ It occurs in colorless, crystalline needles, which melt at 1.52° C 1305 6° t?' ^ ^nH readily diss9lve in warm alcohol and the oils while beins? almost insoluble in water Anemonm is employed in treatment of whooping cough, bronchitis and asthma in doses of 0.004 to 0.03 Gm. (1-16 to >4 grain.) astnma, in ANETHOL. C3H6-C6II4-O-CH3. Symnyms; Para-Allyl-Phenyl-Methyl-Ether; Anise Camphor. Anethol constitutes the main constituent of oil of anise. It occurs in colorless crystals, melting at 22° C. (71.6° F.) and boiling at 234“ C. (453° F.), soluble in alcohol and the oils, but insoluble in water. Anethol is employed as an antiseptic, also as a flavoring constituent in liquors, etc. ANGELIC ACID. CII3 (CHls CH3COOH. A principle prepared from the root of Aiujelica Archangdica. It forms mono- clinic prisms, of spicy odor, soluble in alcohol, ether and hot water ; melts at 45® C. (113® F.) Used as an aromatic tonic. ANGIONEUROSIN. See Nitroglyc.rin. ANHALONINE. (C13H15NO3.) An alkaloid from the Mexican cactacea AnhcUoniwn lewmii, which contains it in both amorphous and crystalline forms. The crystalline base melts at 85® C. (185® F.), soluble in alcohol and ether ; the hydrochlorate is deliquescent and very soluble in W'ater. Anhalonine is of value in treatment of angina pectoris, asthmatic dyspnoea and pneumothorax. ANHYDRO-GLUCO-CHLORAL. See Chloralose. ANISE CAMPHOR. See Anethol. ANISIC ACID. C6H4(0CH3)C00H. Synonym; Paramethoxy-Benzoio Acid. This is an isomer of methyl salicylic acid, obtained by oxidation of anethol, a constituent of oils of anise and fennel. It forms colorless prismatic crystals, which melt at 180° C. (356° F.) It is insoluble in cold water, but very soluble in alcohol. Employed externally it possesses antiseptic properties. Internally it exerts anti- pyretic and anti-rheumatic properties. It is usually administered as sodium salt. SODIUM ANISATE. This is obtained by neutralizing anisic acid with sodium carbonate or bicarbonate. The commercial salt constitutes a hygroscopic, crystalline powder of less disagreeable taste than the acid. The dose is 1 Gm. (15 grains.) DTIENYLESTER OE ANISIC ACID. C«H4(0CH3)C02CgH5. This compound bears the same relationship to anisic acid as salol does to salicylic acid. It is obtained by the action of phosphorus pentachlorid on a mixture of anisic acid and phenol. It occurs as colorless crystals, which melt at 75° C. (167® P.), insoluble in water, but very soluble in alcohol and ether. It is employed in the treatment of neuralgia and rheumatism, in doses from 0.5 to 1.0 Gm. (8 to 15 grains.) ANNIDALIN. Synonym; Di-thymol-triiodide. This occurs as a reddish-brown powder, which is readily decomposed by heat and light; it is insoluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. Annidalin is usually applied locally as a substitute for iodoform and aristol. It is used as pure powder or as a 10 per cent, dilution. ANODYNIN (Anodin.) See Antipyrin. ANTALGIA. A proprietary antipyretic and analgesic. . C (OH) ANTHRAROBIN. C9II4 < I >0903 (OH)2. CU Synonynvt; Dioxyanthrol; Desoxy-Alizarin; Leuko-Alizarin. A phenol derivative related to chrysophanic acid, obtained by the reduction of alizarin. Anthrarobin is a yellowish white powder, insoluble in water, but very soluble in aqueous solutions of the alkalies and alkaline earths. These alkaline solutions rapidly turn green, then blue, through ab.sorption of oxygen from the air, alizarin being re- formed.
