Abstract
IN continuation of our previous studies [Schweitzer & Wright, 1937b, c, d; Kremer et al. 1937] of the action of anticholinesterases and of acetylcholine and related substances on spinal reflexes we have examined the effects of dimethylcarbamic ester of hordenine hydrochloride (or sulphate), dimethylcarbamic ester of hordenine metbiodide (or methylsulphate), dimethylcarbamic ester of methyl hordenine methylsulphate, hordenine hydrochloride (or sulphate) and hordenine methiodide (or methylsulphate). A short preliminary report has already appeared, [Schweitzer and Wright 1938]. The chemical relationships of these substances are indicated in the following formulao. The abbreviations that will be employed when referring to these compounds are also set out. The numbers in brackets refer to the series of anticholinesterases studied by Aeschlimann & Reinert [1931]:
