Analytical methods for 3-(orthotoloxyl)-1,2-propanediol (Myanesin) involving coupling with diazotized 2,4-dinitroaniline and colorimetric determinations of the formaldehyde resulting from periodate oxidation have been developed. Of these, the former is more generally applicable to plasma and urine. The latter, which may be used for plasma determinations, gives results in agreement with the coupling procedure.
The rate of disappearance of Myanesin from the blood of dogs receiving doses of 50 and 100 mgm. per kilogram has been measured.
