Abstract
While little original pharmacological work with procaine has been done in this country, some very interesting information has come to light during the past two years concerning the action of dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), a slightly changed form of diethylamino-ethanol (DAE). Prof. Carl Pfeiffer, professor of pharmacology at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga., and his co-workers have reported their findings in Science (July, 1957) and the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (1958). Since their research may contain a clue which will help researchers answer the riddle of how procaine works, we summarize it here.
