As the result of the above-mentioned tests, it was found that none of the tested active ingredients showed growth inhibition of the microorganisms at a concentration of 1 mg/ml.
(3) Mutagenicity
As the first stage, the active ingredients were tested by rec-assay (i), and as the second stage, they were tested by reversion assay (ii).
(i) A strain of Bacillus subtilis M 45, a defectant of recombination repair, and a wild strain of Bacillus subtilis H 17 keeping recombination repair activity were inoculated to make their own streaks not crossed at the start on a B-2 agar culture plate (made by dissolving 10 g of meat extract, 10 g of polypeptone, 5 g of sodium chloride and 15 g of agar in 1000 ml of distilled water at a pH of 7.0). Then, a circular sheet of filter paper 8 mm in diameter, which absorbed 0.04 ml of an aqueous solution of the active ingredient (using sterilized water) was put on the surface of the agar plate so as to cover the starting point of the above-mentioned streaks of bacterial culture. The inoculated B-2 agar culture was kept at 37.degree. C. for a night and the length of growth-inhibited region was measured. Kanamycin was used as the negative control and Mitomycin C was used as the positive control. The results of the rec-assay are shown in Table 3.
(ii) The strains TA 98 and TA 100 (both are histidine requiring) of Salmonella typhimurium were used in the reversion assay.
Into 2 ml of a soft agar culture medium (the medium itself contains 6 g of sodium chloride and 6 g of agar in 1000 ml of distilled water) to which one tenth by volume of an aqueous solution of 0.5 mM of biotin and 0.5 mM of histidine had been added, 0.1 ml of the bacterial suspension and 0.1 ml of an aqueous solution of the active ingredient were admixed and the mixture was layered on the minimum agar culture medium. After 2 days of incubation at 37.degree. C., the number of revertant colonies was counted. Furylfuramide (AF-2) was used as the positive control. The results of the reversion assay are shown in Table 4.

Female ICR mice which showed a threshold value of pain of 50 to 80 mmHg when their tail base part was pressured by a pressure stimulation apparatus (made by Natsume Works, Japan) of Takagi and Kameyama were chosen as test animals, ten animals comprising a group.
After administering the active ingredient, the test was carried out as the time passes and the applied pressure and the time period until the animal showed a quasi-escaping reaction were determined to evaluate the analgetic activity of the active ingredient.
The results are shown in Table 8. As is seen in Table 8, the pressure applied on animals when the animal showed the quasi-escaping reaction was higher in animals to which the active ingredient had been applied than in animals not administered, and the time period from the beginning to the time point when the animal showed the reaction was longer in animals administered with the active ingredient than in animals not administered. Thus, the analgetic activity of the active ingredient was confirmed.
Determination by the chemical stimulation method
The active ingredient was orally administered to a group (ten animals) of female ICR mice of age of 5 to 6 weeks, and after 30 min of the administration an aqueous 0.6% acetic acid solution was intraperitoneally injected into the mouse at a dose rate of 0.1 ml/10 g of body weight. The number of writhing motion which occurred in the mouse during 10 minutes after 10 minutes of intraperitoneal administration was recorded. The analgetic activity was evaluated from the writhing syndrome inhibiting ratio obtained by the following formula:
wherein
T: mean number of writhing syndrome in the group administered
C: mean number of writhing syndrome in the control group.
The results are shown in Table 9. As is seen in Table 9, every active ingredient of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention showed analgetic activity. The above-mentioned process was carried out following the method of Kostet et al. (1959)

After filtering the solution and condensing the filtrate to one half of the original volume, a large excess of acetone was added to the condensate to obtain crystals. By dehydrating and drying the wet crystals, colorless crystals were obtained at the yield of 100% based on the anthranilic acid-N-L-rhamnoside, the total yield based on anthranilic acid being 9.8%.
EXAMPLE 11 (Production of methyl o-aminobenzoate-N-D-mannoside)
A mixture of one gram of methyl anthranilate and one gram of D-mannose was heated in 10 ml of ethanol in the presence of 0.1 g of ammonium chloride for about one hour to effect condensation. After the reaction was over, the reactant was left at room temperature to separate crystals. The crystals were recrystallized from 95% ethanol to be colorless crystals with a yield of 60%.
EXAMPLE 12 (Production of o-aminobenzoic acid-N-D-mannoside and its sodium salt)
A mixture of 2 g of anthranilic acid, 3 g of D-mannose was heated in 10 ml of ethanol in the presence of 0.2 g of ammonium chloride under a reflux condenser, in a waterbath at 95.degree. to 96.degree. C. After a while, thick crystals separated out. After collecting the crystals by filtration and washing the crystals with water and methanol thoroughly, the crystals were recrystallized from methanol to be colorless needles. The yield was 53.0% based on anthranilic acid.
Thus obtained anthranilic acid-N-D-mannoside was slowly dissolved in 1% sodium hydroxide solution in stoichiometrical proportions. Undissolved matter, if any, was removed by filtration, and the solution (or the filtrate) was condensed under reduced pressure and then a large excess of ethanol was added to the condensate. The crystals separated were collected by filtration and they were dehydrated and dried to give colorless crystals at a yield of 100% based on the anthranilic acid-N-D-mannoside and at the total yield of 53.0% based on anthranilic acid.
