African Witch Doctors Inspire New Nervous System Drugs
At the American Chemical Society meeting in San Francisco, H. M. Wuest and E. H. Sakal described synthetic drugs inspired by African witch doctors. The compounds mimic physostigmine, easing nervous system effects and aiding post operative gastrointestinal recovery. Other chemists discussed boosting World War II aviation gasoline output by removing sulfur from crude oil and making high‑test gasoline in a single step through hydrogen addition.
