Adverse reaction assessment in Thailand.

In Thailand, 5 years ago, the Ministry of Public Health set up the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center for collecting, analysing and compiling all evidence related to drug hazards. Between March 1983 and December 1985, 790 reports on adverse drug reactions have been received, of which 711 could be analysed. Adverse drug reactions are commonly reported with the antibiotics, other anti-infective agents, analgesics and antipyretics, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Most of the reported reactions are related to skin reactions and gastrointestinal disorders. It is unquestionable that such voluntary reporting is more useful qualitatively than quantitatively. Even though there are a lot of problems facing us in assessing adverse drug reactions, it is a necessity to have the programme running and improving as time goes by. There is an urgent need for well-trained personnel to perform such tasks.

Solid-state decomposition of para-substituted salicylic acids.

A series of para-substituted salicylic acids, all crystallizing monoclinically and decomposing by decarboxylation, were shown to adhere to Bawn-type kinetics, and the decomposition rate constants were shown to adhere approximately to a Hammett-type relation. The value of the reaction parameter was -8. Both para-substituted salicyclic and benzoic acids occur as dimers in the crystalline state. The mechanism whereby the latter decomposes is speculated to be intermolecular in the sense that the substituent from one dimer interacts with the carboxyl group of a neighboring dimer. In the same sense of the word, the substituted salicyclic acids decompose by an intramolecular mechanism, i.e., within the dimer unit.
