Quinine Synthesis
Fills Urgent Need
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT of
the successful synthesis of quinine
is the most important advance in
scientific medicine of the year.
The sulfa drugs and penicillin
are important enough, heaven
knows, but their accomplishment
is the history of a slow accumula-

tion of bits of knowledge made by
ma"ny different men. The synthe-
sis of quinine was the work of
one man, Robert B. Woodward,
of Boston, although the man asso-
ciated with him, William E. Doer-
ing, gets credit for working out
a number of technical details.
It is hardly necessary to em-
phasize the importance of the dis-
covery. If the adage—“Necessity
is the Mother of invention”—had
not already been said, it would
have sprung into use to cover
this case.
Quinine is one of the few speci-
fic drugs known to scientific medi-
cine. A specific is a drug which
has the property of killing off the
cause of a disease without harm-
ing the body cells of the sick per-
son. Quinine is specific against
malaria. When dissolved in the
blood and tissue juices it kills the
malarial pl&smoditun at a certain
6tage of its development, but does
not affect the red blood cells in
the circulation or in fact stop the
activity or injure any body cells.
Importance of Discovery
Most of my readers will have to
grasp the significance and impor-
tance of this discovery through
their intellects,.not their experi-
ence, because most of us live in
the temperate zone where malaria
does not exist. Malaria is still
endemic in and around New Or-
leans and the Southern States as
far north as Arkansas, hot it is
not a terrifically serious health
problem in this country. But in
spite of that malaria is in its own
habitat the world’s greatest killer.
Certainly one of the commonest
and most frequent ef human
diseases.
Quinine was first found in
South America and tin tree grows
naturally there. The Indians had
known- of it as a remedy for fever
for untold ages. The Spanish con-
querors in the Seventeenth Cen-
tury imported it into Europe,
#here it was used for all. sorts of
non-malarial diseases. In 1820
two French chemists, Pelletier and
Caventou, isolated the fine drug
quinine from the bark of the cin-
chona tree. t
For some reason or reasons too
complicated to go into the fan-
tastic situation developed that all
the quinine in the world was
grown in the Dutch East Indies.
Climatic conditions are favorable
for a very good grade of quinine
to be grown there, but not any
better than in Central and South
America, its natural habitat.
But we let the opportunities of
establishing quinine plantations
in our near neighborhood go and
when the Japanese conquered the
Dutch possessions in the South
Pacific we found ourselves in the
position of having thousands of
actual or potential malaria cases
on our hands and a slender supply
of the means to treat it. And it
takes from eight to ten years to
grow a tree furnishing a good
yield of quinine. Plantations have
been started in Guatemala and
Brazil, but they are too late for
this war.
Artificially Synthesized Quinine
So the announcement that an
efficient quinine can be artifieally
synthesized in the laboratory
comes as real news.
Organic chemistry has made
such strides that it took Wood-
ward and Doering only 14 months
to solve their problem. There had
been some previous attempts and
partial successes. In 1856 an
Englishma n, * William Hervey
Perkin, attempted the operation,
hut both the state of knowledge
at that time and his technical
equipment were too deficient. It
has been said that Perkin’s
chances for success were about as
good as those of a carpenter who
tries to build a house at the foot
of a hill by dropping the boards;
nails, shingles, etc., from the hill-
top. But he furnished Woodward
and Doering with some valuable
hints.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
H. A. B.:—Does drinking beer
cause excess acid in the urine?
Answer: Not necessarily. The
trtrine is normally acid and the
acidity varies in amount. That is
the wsy the body gets rid of acid.
