“Toxicity of certain quinin derivatives”

Abstract

In one of the side chains of the quinin molecule there is, according to the commonly accepted view, a vinyl group: — CH = CH₂. As the toxicity of many compounds (e. g., neurin and allyl alcohol), is chiefly due to the presence of such a group, experiments were made (in Professor Ehrlich's laboratory) to determine whether this is the case with quinin.
