On a new quinoline group antimicrobial agent, chlora cetoxyquinoline (CAQ), basic experiments and --clinical applications were performed and the following results were obtained.
1. At the sensitivity test against various pathogens comparing with othe r quinoline group ones,
Staphylococcus aureus and
Shigella flexneri were generally sensitive, but
Shigella sonnei was less than the both.
2. Much portion of CAQ was adsorbed to red blood corpuscle.
3. CAQ was not inactivated by mice liver homogenat es.
4. By the result of cellophane bag dialysis, CAQ was greatly combined with serum protein.
5. Following oral administration in mice, CAQ was merely detected from kidney and lung, though high concentration was found in bowel content.
6. During oral treatment of patients, blood and urine level were proved to be low, but the comparable concentration with the value of sensitivity to
Shigella sonnei was found in stool.
7. Four bacillary and four amebic dysentery cases were treated with CA Q. In the former the effect was good in all, but poor in one of the latter.
