German Researcher
Claims Discovery Of
Rival Of peniciIIin

At the end OF the war, Germany's
most celebrated organic chemist had
developed a synthetic drug which,
he told United States Army investi-
gators, was as good as penicillin and
300 times as potent when used in
equal amounts against all staphylo-
coccus infections.
The chemist was Prof. r. Kuhn
of the University of Heidelberg. The
basis Of the new drug was syn
thetic preparation of Benzil, a gum
which before the war was obtained
from trees native to Java and SUI
matra but which can be produced in
the laboratory. It's chief use was
in perfumes and incense.
Lack of an anti-infection agent
as good as penicillin was one of the
great drawbacks of German military
medicine during the war and dill
gent efforts were made to supply
something of the sort. The new
drug, so far as could be learned by
Army investigators, still was in the
experimental stage when the war
ended and never had been used in
actual practice. 1t was known only
by the number "3065."
Kuhn told the investigators he be-
came interested in 1t when expert
ments showed powerfully antago-
nistic action against p-amino ben
zoic acid, the substance In the body
without which many bacteria are
unable to multiply. The various
sulfa drugs act by netralizing this
acid. Hence they prevent an in
fection from spreading and enable
to natural resistance forces of the
body to overcome those which have
obtained foothold. 1905" was the
only substance, aside from sulfa
drugs, which had been found to have
this antagonistic action.
Like penicillin, the new drug was
found quite effective against some
maladies against which the sulfa
drugs failed-such as sufa resistant
forms of gonorrhea.
Another German war chemical
which evidently never was put to
practical use was a chlorine -fuorine
compound-a liquid with a boiling
point of about so degrees centigrade,
which combined with all organic
substances and some inorganic sub
stances so vigorously that they burst
into flame at once when struck by a
stream of it. 1t was intended par
ticularly for use against tanks and
aircraft. 1t melted glass almost
Immediately, and so violent was the
reaction with water that the latter
was turned Immediately into white
hot gasses rather than ordinary
steam.
One small factory was engaged
in producing the substance at the
rate of about three pounds an hour.
Both these chemicals, discovered
by American scientific investigators
who followed the Army into Ger
many, have just been made known
through the Commerce Department.
