Abstract
The author examined the biological activity of dichloroflavin, i.e., 6, 7-dichlorc-9-(D-1′-ribityl) isoalloxazine by the use of rats. A large amount of dichloro-flavin was shown to have a toxic action; it impaired the ability of the liver for retaining riboflavin, and disturbed severely the kidney function.
The growth was retarded after the appearence of toxic symptoms.
