DISCOVERY of new vita
~ mers," vitamin like SUBJ
stances, Of key Importance for
human and other forms of life,
is reported by Drs. Dean Burk
and Richard J. Winzler OF the
National Cancer Institute,
Bethesda, Md.
At the laboratories of the ir-
stitute, part of the United States
Public Health Services national
institute of health, the noted in
vestigators searched for SUBJ
stances which act in the living
body like biotin, the most pow
erful vitamin so far discovered.
Drs. Burk and WinZler found
that the normal human body
produces other substances which
have properties similar TO those
Of biotin.
These substances, never be-
fore detected, have been named
miotin and tiotin and rhiotin.
DECENTLY men of science
~ have coined a new word,
"vitamer,' which means any
substance that acts upon the
living body like a particular
vitamin, without being the vita
min as known in nature.
The interest of scientists in
viotin and substances like il has
been greatly increased in view
of the possible role these mate
rails might play in cancer and
other uncUnquered diseases.
Doctors Burk and Winzler
have found two very inter-
esting characteristics of the new
"Vitamers." miotin and tiotin
and rhiotin.
They may be present in some
of the animals or plants, such
as yeast cells. and not in
others; that is 10 say, these are
vitamin-like substances belong
ing 10 different living species.
1t means that experiments on
certain animals are not Suffl-
cient 10 understand the effect
of biotin and similar substances
upon the cells of the human
body.
Men of science trying TO find
out how healthy and diseased
human body cells are affected by
biotin and its "vitamers" will
have to make direct investiga-
n

DOCTORS Burk and Winzler
~ found, also, that egg white
can check the effect OF biotin,
but not of miotin and tiotin. In
other words, even IL the body
lacks biotin, the other sub
stances like miotin can carry on
the work of biotin.
Biotin and its 'vitamers" APP
pear TO play an important part
in the use of carbon dioxide by
the cells of the body.
There is a theory now under
investigation that cancer cells
need large amounts of biotin.
Cancer treatment might be
aided by destroying the effect Of
biotin. by feeding a patient a
lot of egg white which contains
avidin.
However, II cancer cells can
use miotin or other "vitamers'
OF biotin, they still can multiply.
Hence means will have 10 be
devised for control of the other
substances, too.
