mg/kg in the conscious immobilized cat was done it produced equal<br />

inhibition of carbachol, induced spasm of the intestine, lasting about<br />

two hours. Himachalol has faster onsetofaction than papaverine.<br />

Himachalol has spasmolytic effect on bronchial muscles of guinea pig<br />

but it was 3.3 times more potent than papaverine in antagonizing<br />

epinephrine-induced contraction of seminal vesicle of guinea pig. In the<br />

dose dependent fall in blood pressure and an increased femoral blood<br />

flow.<br />

Alexander and Rao (1975) described preferential addition of CCl4<br />

to limonene gamonoadduct which lost HCl on distillation to give<br />

trichlorohyllimonene (I) which was hydrolyzed by alcoholic alkali to<br />

10 carboxylimonene. 4hyl-tetrahydroacetophenone form hydrolysis of I<br />

with ethylene glycol (30%) at 200-210 oC with simultaneous steam<br />
