New Anti-TB Drugs To Undergo Rigid Tests

Yofk ’ Feb. 27—CUP)— New drugs’ must be put through rigid •trials. 1© experimental animals before they are given to st human patient. ' That. • precaution was especially necessary in the case of marsiljd and rimifon, also known as nydrar. lid, the new antUtuberculosls drugs. And even before the animal trials are started, the drugs are put in a, test tube with the germs of tuberculosis. Tests are made to determine whether the drugs kill the gehns. doctors call that "in Vitro*’ test. The tests in \ animals are referred to as “in vi4o.” Marailid and rimifon were deveioped in the laboratories of Iloff-niau-Laroche, Nutiey, N.J. The first test tube and animal studies I Were conducted there by a team of scientists, headed by Drs. E. Orutoberg and.R. j. Schnitxer. In the animal studies, "thousands of rWee” were inoculated with the T.B. germ, and then treated with the new drugs. - The laroche scientists found that tuberculosis in mice could be arrested. possibly "cured.” But a "cure” in an animal does not necessarily mean such a result can be obtained in the human par , tleDt. To confirm or upset their findings, the Roche scientists chose the Trudeau laboratory of The Trudeau Foundation. Trudeau.-N.Y. to make its own experiments with the new drugs. The work at Trudeau was in bharge of Dr. William Jr?, a pioneer in T.B. research work. The Trudeau scientists’ test tufie experiments showed the new drugs stopped the growth of several dlf-
