François Magendie and the New Science of Drugs

Arnold Burgen

European Review, 1996, vol. 4, issue 2, 165-172

Abstract: The first pure drugs from plant sources were obtained early in the 19th century. Magendie saw them as the basis for the development of a scientific pharmacopoeia based exclusively on pure compounds and, by 1821, had produced the first textbook of pharmacology based on strict scientific principles.
