		In the “Anniversaries: 2001” by Paul F. Schatz (1), my first-choice reading in the January issue of this Journal each year, it was reported that just 100 years ago adrenaline was isolated by Jokichi Takamine from animal adrenal glands, and that “the chemical name for adrenaline is epinephrine”.
		He erroneously thought it was an indole derivative.
		A few years later, Furth and Takamine independently isolated the same substance in the free base form and gave it the name suprarenine (from Latin supra-, upon, and ren, kidney) and adrenaline (from Latin ad-, near, and ren, kidney), respectively.
