In the midst of the excitement, Leblanc told his former chemistry professor, Jean Darcet, the fabulous secret of his discovery. After running some tests and confirming Leblanc s discovery, Darcet recommended it to their patron, the Duke of Orleans. So far the process had worked only in laboratory crucibles, but Darcet declared optimistically, I the undersigned, professor of chemistry at the Royal College of France and at the Royal Academy of Sciences, etc., certify that. . . with this same process, it will be easy to establish a factory. As is often the case, reality proved to be a trifle more complicated.

FIGURE 16.4 Precursors of RPE cell lipofuscin form in the outer segments of photoreceptor cells. The retina of normal rat (A, B) and the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rat (C, D) viewed under the phase contrast (A, C) and the epifluorescence microscopy (B, D). In the normal rat, autofluorescent material accumulates as lipofuscin in RPE cells (arrows). In the RCS, due to a defect in RPE cell phagocytosis, shed outer segment membrane builds up at the photoreceptor-RPE interface the autofluorescence in this debris is attributable to lipofuscin precursors that form in photoreceptor outer segments.

Similarly, well before Lavoisier, in London in the mid-eighteenth century, the Royal College of Physicians convened the Pharmacopoeia Committee, which adopted the principle that names of compounds should be related to their constituents rather than to their observable properties or to analogies with things like butter and flowers. The physicians 1746 dictionary of names influenced Macquer s 1766 dictionary of chemistry. 43... 

In the first half of the nineteenth century, institutions in metropolitan London dominated British teaching and research in chemistry. These institutions included the hospitals, the colleges of the University of London, the Royal Institution, the Royal College of Chemistry, and the Chemical Society of London, founded in 1841.2 The most prestigious English institutions, Oxford University and Cambridge University, did not encourage specialized scientific studies, especially not chemistry.

After Frankland s move to the Royal College of Chemistry, which had become part of the Royal School of Mines, the school moved to South Kensington (1872), where it became known in 1885 as the Normal School of Science, then, in 1890, the Royal College of Science. The City and Guilds Central Institution, later the Central Technical College, opened across the street from the Royal School of Mines in 1884. Frankland s former pupil, Henry Armstrong, became the Technical College s professor of chemistry.

The development of the chemical industry did not, of course, spring wholly from the work of theoreticians such as Kekule. William Henry Perkin (1838-1907), working at the age of 18 in the laboratory of August Wilhelm von Hofmann at the Royal College of Science in London, had been put to work on the synthesis of the drug quinine from aniline, the latter a coal-tar product that had been isolated by Hofmann. Perkin failed to synthesize quinine, but as a result of his... 

While nicotine is the primary active pharmacological agent, tobacco has been shown to be a particularly effective vehicle for delivery of nicotine (US Food and Drug Administration 1995 Hurt and Robertson 1998 Slade et al. 1995 World Health Organization 2001). In fact, published research has determined that tobacco-delivered nicotine is not only more toxic, but more addictive than nicotine in a pure form (e.g., nicotine replacement therapy) (Henningfleld et al. 2000 Royal College of Physicians 2000). As noted by a BW scientist in 1990 Nicotine alone in smoke is not practical, nor are extreme tar/nicotine ratios, since nicotine is too irritating -other substances are required for sensoric reasons (Baker 1990).

The most direct way to help people manage the symptoms of nicotine dependence and withdrawal is therapeutic use of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) (Fiore et al. 2000 Henningfleld 1995 American Psychiatric Association 1996). Nicotine has been shown to be the main active ingredient in tobacco that causes and sustains addiction to tobacco (US Department of Health and Human Services 1988). Laboratory research has demonstrated that animals (Goldberg et al. 1983) and humans (Henningfleld et al. 1983) who have been chronically exposed to nicotine or tobacco smoke will self-administer nicotine infusions. It should be noted that other constituents in tobacco, such as MAO inhibitors (Fowler et al. 1996a, b), may also play a role in tobacco dependence. The potential role of alkaloids other than nicotine has not been ruled out. This is consistent with the observations that what has been termed tobacco delivered nicotine is more addictive and toxic than formulations provided by nicotine replacement medications (Royal College of Physicians 2000). 

It is now clear that treatment with smoking cessation medications is an efficacious and cost-effective path to disease control and prevention of premature mortality. There is a strong medical and public health need for pharmacotherapies to aid smokers who wish to quit smoking, but who are unable to do so without such assistance (World Health Organization 2003 World Bank 1999 Fiore et al. 2000 Royal College of Physicians of London 2000). It is equally clear, however, that many people find currently available treatments ineffective or unacceptable. Thus, the benefits and limitations of presently available treatments provide a powerful impetus for further treatment development.
