New Drug Seen
Counteracting
0piiate al Births
First Clinical Report
Shows Promise,
Doctors Are Told
By WoIIoce {. Clayton

The first clinical report on a
comparatively new drug, which
shows promise of counteracting
the effects on newborn babies of
opiates given their mothers was
made today before the American
Society of Anesthesiologists.
If furthre study confirms the
early clinical results, use of the
drug, known as N-allyl-normo-
phine, will solve a problem that
has long troubled anesthesiolo-
gists.
The drug also has been used
with very satisfactory results" on
persons who have taken overdoses
'of morphine. A laboratory-pro-
duced product, it acts as an an
tagonist on morphine and NOR
|phine derivatives.
Cries More Rapidly.
DR.. James E. Eckenhoff, assist
ant professor of anesthesiology at
the University of Pennsylvania
Hospital, said the first gasps and
cries of babies after birth to
mothers who had been given NJ
allyl-normophine after opiates,
were more rapid than the first re-
actions of babies born to mothers
who have received opiates only.
Similarly. the respiration and
the color of depressed" newborn
babies of mothers receiving OPT
ates improved Immediately after
ELECTROMAGNETIC was admins
tered into the cord veins of the
babies.
DR.. Eckenhoff said that, in one
study of 64 mothers rendered al
most unconscious by opiates, "a
were given the drug about 10
minutes before birth Of their
babies. The druug was not given
to the other 80.
In the group receiving N-allyl-
normophine the average time of
the babies first gasp after birth
was 1872 seconds. The average
time of the first gasp of babies
whose mothers received opiates
alone was 349 seconds.
In cases where no opiates had
been given the mothers there was
little difference in the babies re-
action time whether the drug had
been administered or not.
No Effect on Additions.
DR.. Eckenhoff said studies at
the United States Public Health
Service Hospital for drug addicts
at Lexington. KY, reveal the drug
has no effect on morphine addic-
tionS.
The drug. first described in 1941
was not experimental with clinic
ally until the University of Penn
sylvania Hospital started about a
year ago. DR.. Eckenhoff said the
drug is not available to physicians
now but probably will be after
more comprehensive tests are
made.
Associated with DIR. Eckenhoff
in the study were Drs. George l..
Hoffman. assistant professor of
obstetrics at the hospital, and
Robert D. Dripps. professor of
aneStheSiology.
