1. The analgesic action of l-Dolophine is much greater than that of the d-isomer, the order of activity being approximately 7.5:1 in rats, 25:1 in dogs, and 50:1 in man.
2. l-Dolophine produces more narcosis than the d-form in equianalgesic doses.
3. In anesthetized dogs, l-Dolophine is 25 times as depressant to respiration, but 65 times as stimulating to duodenum, as the d-isomer.
4. There is little difference in toxicity between the l- and d-isomers in mice by intravenous injection. Either optical isomer is, however, slightly less toxic than the racemic mixture.
