SERTÜRNER, Friedrich Wilhelm Adam (1783-1841). "Darstellung der reinen Mohnsäure*) (Opiumsäure) nebst einer chemischen Untersuchung des Opiums mit vorzüglicher Hinsicht auf einen darin neu entdeckten Stoff und die dahin gehörigen Bemerkungen", in: Journal der Pharmacie, volume XIV, pp.47-93. Leipzig: S.L. Crusins, 1806. 8° (172 x 103mm). Contemporary boards (head and tail of spine a little bumped, rubbed). FIRST PUBLICATION OF THE ISOLATION OF MORPHINE. Garrison-Morton 1839; Gedeon pp.163-65; Waller II, p.27 & 5213.
SERTÜRNER, F.W.A. "Ueber das Morphium, eine neue salzfähige Grundlage, und die Mekonsäure, als Hauptbestandtheile des Opiums", in: Annalen der Physik, Neue Folge, volume XXV, pp.56-89. Leipzig: J.A. Barth, 1817. 8° (194 x 120mm). Contemporary boards (spine quite rubbed).
SERTÜRNER, F.W.A. "Ueber das Opium und dessen krystallisirbare Substanz", in: Journal der Pharmacie, volume XX, pp.99-103. Leipzig F.C.W. Vogel, 1811. 8° (171 x 102mm). Original boards (extremites rubbed and a little chipped). Gedeon pp.163-65; Waller II, p.27 & 5213.
DEROSNE, Jean-François. "Ueber das Opium", in: Journal der Pharmacie für Aerzte, Apotheker und Chemisten, volume XII, pp.223-53. Leipzig: S.L. Crusius, 1804. 8° (170 x 99mm). Contemporary boards. FIRST GERMAN EDITION, translated from the first edition which appeared in the Annales de Chimie in the previous year. His treatise on opium foreshadowed the emergence of alkaloid chemistry as an important field of research. Gedeon p.163-65; cf. Garrison-Morton 1838.3.
VERY RARE COMPLETE SET OF PAPERS ON THE DISCOVERY AND EARLY CHARACTERISATION OF MORPHINE, one of the oldest drugs still in extensive clinical use. Sertürner first isolated morphine from opium in 1805 and named the bitter white crystalline alkaloid after Morpheus, the Greek god of sleep. 'Sertürner's first publications on morphine in 1805 and 1806 failed to attract attention. In 1817, when Sertürner republished the results of his research in enlarged and more detailed form, the importance of his work was recognized'. Morphine was not only the first alkaloid to be extracted from opium, but the first ever alkaloid to be isolated from any plant. 'Thus the foundation was laid for alkaloid chemistry. The introduction of morphine into pharmaceutics was later compared to the introduction of iron into metallurgy' (DSB).
With 2 others by Sertürner, "Säure im Opium" (in: Journal der Pharmacie, vol. XIII, pp.234-235, Leipzig, 1805) and "Auszüge aus Briefen an den Herausgeber" (in: Journal der Pharmacie, vol.II, p.335, Leipzig, 1818). Gedeon pp.163-65. (6)
