ONE of the synthetic analogues of epinephrine — l-(3, 4 -dihydroxyphenyl)-2-isopropylaminoethanol — has been studied under the name of aleudrin for a number of years in Europe. The experimental and clinical use of this drug in bronchial asthma and emphysema has been reviewed by Dautrebande,1 and a report has been published in this country by Charlier.2 The drug, administered as an aerosol, has been described as being especially effective in relieving attacks of bronchial asthma and significantly more active than epinephrine.In this country Segal3 has reported excellent results in the treatment of bronchial asthma with the same preparation, also . . .Keywords
