Summary
The isolation of morphine alkaloids from opium was a turning point in the history of medicine. It meant that essential compounds in herbal remedies could be measured out in reliable doses, creating a surge of research into chemical palliatives and giving birth to the modern pharmaceutical industry. By the mid-19th century mass production of manmade painkillers was in full swing. This program describes the development of synthetic pain treatments, sedatives, and anesthetics and explains how opiates, barbiturates, and anti-inflammatories work.
