Honeysuckle flower is active against various bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus. Salmonella typhi, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, dysentery bacilli, etc.) and viruses (e.g., HIV and influenza viruses) in vitro and/or in vivo also active against dermatophjites but to a less extent. It has anti-inflammatory effects on several experimental inflammation models. Other effects include strengthening body... 

Synthesis of riboflavin by isolated bacteria has also been studied. It was found to be synthesized by the lactic acid bacillus (73), strains of dysentery bacilli (61) and diphtherial organisms (62), E. coli, B. aerogenes, A. fecalis, B. vulgatus, B. mesentericus, B. vulgaris (60), Pseudomonas fluorescens, Proteus vulgaris, Clostridium butylicum (65).

Derivatives of nicotinic acid which were ineffective for Staph, aureus, Proteus vulgaris and pea roots —pyridine-3,4-dicarboxylic acid (cinchomeronic acid) pyridine-3,5-dicarbo.xylic acid (dinicotinic acid) 3-amino-pyridine trigonelline are-coline. 6-Methyl-nicotinic acid was inactive for dysentery bacilli. Derivatives differing in structure more widely were inactive. 

Lwoff and Querido (224a) reported -1- effect but Pelczar and Porter (280) found this compound negative with over 250 strains of Proteus. t Reported by Lwoff and Querido (224a) only unconfirmed, t Reported - - effect with pyridine-3 nitrile using dysentery bacilli (64) this was not confirmed (66). 

There are some quantitative differences in the ability of different bacteria to use a given compound and in the ease with which different compounds can be used by the same species. Thus, among alkyl esters of nicotinic acid, the methyl ester gave delayed growth with Staph, aureus, the time-lag being interpreted as due to the need to hydrolyze to the free acid prepara-toiy to amide and phosphopyridine nucleotide synthesis (159). With dysentery bacilli [3 strains of Shigella paradysenteriae (186)] the methyl...
