Properties: Crystals, mp 192°, also given as 180-181° (the free base is an oily liquid). Practically insol in water near neutrality. Sol in dil acids (2% at pH 2.1, 1% at pH 2.4 and 0.5% at pH 2.7), in 95% alcohol and in propylene glycol. Stable in acid soln, but rapidly loses activity in neutral or alkaline solns. LD50 s.c. in mice: 800 mg/kg (Nickerson, Nomaguchi).
