pharmacology
Term: pharmacology
Origin:
Anc Greek ????????/pharmakon (=medicine or poison) + ?????/logos (=discourse, study of)
Coined:
pharmacology is held to have emerged as a separate science first time in 1847, when Rudolf Buchheim was appointed professor of pharmacology at the University of Dorpat in Estonia in Russia. Later his student Oswald Schmiedeberg (1838?1921) in 1872 became professor of pharmacology at the University of Strassburg. He studied the pharmacology of chloroform and chloral hydrate. In 1869, Schmiedeberg showed that muscarine evoked the same effect on the heart as electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve. In 1878, he published a classic text, Outline of Pharmacology, and in 1885, he introduced urethane as a hypnotic.
