Very low toxicity in mice. 2. Analgesic action was recognized markedly in mice. 3. Prolongation of hypnosis time induced by pentobarbital-Na in mice was shown. 4. Relaxing action was shown on the isolated ileum in mice and antagonistic action was seen on $BaCl_2-induced$ contraction of the ileum that the relaxing effect of the intestinal smooth muscle was recognized. 5.Antiinflammatory effect was shown markedly in mice. 6.Hypotensive and vaso-dilating actions due to the vascular smooth muscle relaxation were noted in rabbits.
