[The suitability of propylene glycol (1,2-propanediol) as an active antimicrobial adjuvant in ointments].

Propylene glycol was tested for its antimicrobial activity as well as its possible irritant effect in ointments. With regard to the antimicrobial effect, vehicles containing more than 5% propylene glycol proved to be superior to those containing glycerol. 269 volunteers with or without eczema who had been treated with 10% propylene glycol under occlusion and by means of the Duhring chamber method, showed very few irritations; there was almost none observed in patients tested with an ointment containing glycerol instead. We did not find any allergic sensitization against propylene glycol.

Antifertility activity of alpha-chlorohydrin (3-chloro-1, 2 propanediol, U-5897) on the female rats.

alpha-chlorohydrin administration brings about regression in the corpus luteum and shedding of the uterine endometrium, indicating its luteolytic activity, alpha-chlorohydrin inhibited vaginal keratinization and interrupted the sex cycle. A dioestrous leucocytic pattern of the vaginal smear is retained during medication. Decreased synthesis of RNA, protein, sialic acid and glycogen concentration in the uterus and vagina suggest possible antioestrogenic action of the compound. The antifertility action of the drug may be due to its antioestrogenic property.
