Ueber Ptomaine

<p><i>Ueber Ptomaine</i> published in 1885 is a foundational work by Ludwig Brieger exploring ptomaines which are organic chemical compounds produced by decaying animal and vegetable matter. Brieger's research delves into the nature and properties of these substances also known as cadaveric alkaloids. His detailed analysis contributed significantly to the fields of organic chemistry toxicology and biochemistry. This early scientific study offers invaluable insights into the chemical processes of decomposition and their implications. It remains relevant for researchers and historians interested in the development of forensic science and the understanding of organic compounds in biological processes.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
