Abstract
‘TRITON W.R. 1339’, an arylalkyl polyoxyethylene ether of phenol, prepared by Rohm and Haas Co., Philadelphia, is a non-toxic surface-active agent, and was shown to exert a suppressive effect in experimental tuberculosis of mice1. ‘Macrocyclon’ is the polyoxyethylene ether containing on average 12.5 ethylene oxide units per chain, formed by reaction of ethylene oxide with a macrocyclic phenol and possesses similar antituberculous activity2.
