It can inhibit Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, typhoid bacillus, paratyphoid bacillus, dysentery bacillus, anthrax bacillus, Bacillus subtilis, acid fast bacillus and some fungi. It also has a good inhibitory effect on most bacteria that can form spores and microorganisms in eye infection. It can also increase the antibacterial effect of chloramphenicol. The effect of young plants is better than that of stems. The effect of roots is ineffective. The effect of distilled water is not good enough. The active ingredient is lipophilic, insoluble in water (can be used as emulsion) benzyl isothiocyanate (benzene oil). It was proved that tromalyt was benzyl isothiocyanate by chemical and biological tests. It is easy to be absorbed through stomach and duodenum, and excreted mainly through kidney, respiratory tract and oral mucosa (1-3 hours after oral administration). The highest concentration was found in urine 4-6 hours after administration. After long-term administration (3.5 months), the excretory organs of guinea pigs were not irritated. The histological examination of viscera showed no obvious pathological changes. The hemogram was normal except for the increase of the number of large lymphocytes. The eosinophils of guinea pigs did not increase, and there was no asthma, so there was no allergic phenomenon, but 2-3 weeks after taking it, there was ulceration on the skin of the nape, no excretion of feces, no diarrhea, and no disturbance of intestinal flora. It can also stimulate the activity of reticuloendothelial system, enhance the body's defense ability and recovery process.

Side effects may include frequent urination, stomach discomfort, and vomiting in infants. Once a child developed skin rash after 6 days of medication, local application had redness effect. It is not suitable for bacteremia, biliary tract or intestinal tract infection. The acute toxicity of tromalyt was 76-107, 68 and 72 mg / kg in mice, guinea pigs and rats by intraperitoneal injection, and 134, 81 and 128 mg / kg by oral administration.
