	Gerhard Domagk - Biography
		Domagk himself was, from the age of 14, at school in Silesia until he reached the upper sixth form.
		Domagk was, however, not satisfied that prontosil, so effective in mice, would be equally effective in man, but it so happened that his own daughter became very ill with a streptococcal infection, and Domagk, in desperation, gave her a dose of prontosil.
		She made a complete recovery, but Domagk omitted mentioning the recovery of his daughter from the report on the effect of the drug, waiting until 1935 when results were available from clinicians who had tested the new drug on patients.

	Gerhard Domagk
		Gerhard Domagk was a German pathologist who received Nobel Prize for his discovery of antibacterial effects of Prontosil.
		While he was looking for a human subject to try the drug, Domagk's four year old daughter hurt her arm with a needle.
		Domagk later discovered two more compounds which were effective in the treatment of tuberculosis.

	Xenobiotic Metabolism
		It was the scourge of streptococcus that stimulated the hiring of physician Gerhard Domagk by I.G. Farbenindustrie in 1927.
		Domagk had served in hospitals during World War I, while still a young medical student, and was appalled at the lack of options available for the treatment of cholera, typhus and other bacterial diseases.
		Domagk’s discovery of Prontosil merited the award which he was forced to reject in 1939 by the Nazi government.

		The man responsible for the testing of new compounds was Gerhard Domagk, a clinician who had been brought to the works in Elberfeld-Wuppertal in the 1920s, and who, due to his experiences with war wounds, was dedicated to finding a cure for bacterial disease.
		Domagk’s personal faith in the drug was strong enough for him to use it to treat his daughter Hildegarde who was suffering from the normally-fatal septicaemia.
		The contribution to antibacterial medicine of Gerhard Domagk is truly enormous, although not often recalled, and owes much to a simple, red azoic dye.

		There, in 1932, Domagk found that a red dye-stuff, to which the name "prontosil rubrum" was given, protected mice and rabbits against lethal doses of staphylococci (staph) and streptococci (strep).
		Domagk was not satisfied that prontosil, so effective in mice, would be equally effective in humans, but it so happened that his own daughter Hildegarde contracted a deadly streptococcal infection from a needle prick and Domagk, in desperation, gave her a dose of prontosil.
		Domagk waited to publish his discovery of the antibacterial nature of prontosil until 1935 when data were available from clinicians who had tested the new drug on patients.

		As Domagk had studied medicine before the war, he was sent to the medical service despite of his injuries.
		Despite the fact that the substance was effective with the animals, Domagk remained a very sceptical its use with the humans.
		Domagk’s daughter got seriously sick from the staphylococcus and in a desperate attempt to save her life, Domagk gave Prontosil to his own daughter and this way saved her life as she recovered completely from the disease.

		Domagk turned his attention to azo dyes, so called because the two major parts of the molecule are linked by a double bond between two nitrogen atoms.
		Domagk reasoned that they might also attach themselves to the protein in bacteria, inhibiting if not killing the organisms.
		Domagk was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1939, but the Nazi government, at odds with the Nobel Committee, refused to let him accept it; he eventually received his medal after World War II in 1947.

		In 1932 the German chemist Gerhard Domagk discovered that the dye Prontosil had antagonistic properties against a wide range of bacteria, and in 1935 it was found that the sulfanilamide portion of the Prontosil molecule was responsible for its antibacterial effect.
		In 1940 it was shown that sulfanilamide inhibited the action of the physiological substance para-aminobenzoic acid, which bacteria need to synthesize folic acid.
