Participation of Ural Scientists in the Development of Antibiotics in 80-90s

Abstract

In the 1930s-1940s Professor I. Ya. Postovsky and his students carried out scientific research work on the synthesis of sulfonamides compounds; sulfide, sulfazole, sulfatiazole were obtained. During in this period, Soviet scientists were at the forefront of a new scientific direction. During the Great Patriotic War industrial production of sulfonamide drugs was organized in pharmaceutical factory in the city of Sverdlovsk in a limited time frame, and Professor B. P. Kushelevsky developed treatment with the use of the new medicines. The lives of thousands of wounded soldiers and officers were saved thanks to the joint work of chemists and doctors. The region's first industry-pharmaceutical Institute - the Ural branch of All-Union Chemical and Pharmaceutical Institute n. a. S. Ordzhonikidze - was created in military conditions. I. Ya. Postovsky laid the foundation for the further successful development of the scientific school of pharmaceutical chemistry in the Ural region.
