Romance of drug production in Australia during war years
The Cairns Post highlights Australia's self reliance in drug manufacture during wartime. It notes success in producing hyoscine and atropine from native corkwood and other species, reducing dependency on imports. Research at the University of Sydney and CSIR led to cultivating corkwood for a steady drug supply, with Queensland’s Duboisia leaf yielding atropine and hyoscine. The piece cites historical discovery by Dr Joseph Bancroft and outlines how Australia aimed to supply Britain and allies, stressing science, industry, and future potential for plant-based drug production.
