Sažetak
The study of pharmacy at the University of Zagreb was established relatively early (1882), as a consequence of a long and rich tradition of 700 years long Croatian pharmacy. A particularly large contribution to the development of academic, as well as industrial, pharmacy was given by Gustav Janeček (1848–1929), Julije Domac (1853–1928), and Vladimir Prelog (1906–1998). The first two played important role in the establishing of the study and its development during the first 40 years. They are the authors of the first original Croatian pharmacopoeia, Croatian-Slavonian Pharmacopoeia from 1901, which was considered by European scientists to be one of the best in the world, and which had political significance too. Their lives and achievements are well analyzed. Vladimir Prelog had a major influence on the development of organic and pharmaceutical chemistry at the Faculty of Pharmacy (FPh), later Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry (FPhB). However, his influence is only partly described in literature. During his seven-year tenure at the University of Zagreb (1935-1941) and his subsequent acceptance of number of graduate and postgraduate students in his Laboratory of Organic Chemistry at ETH, Prelog educated ten scientists whose careers have been associated with the study of pharmacy at the University of Zagreb. Their short biographies will be presented, with accent on their common work with Prelog and their relations to FPh/FPhB. The events that preceded proclamation of V. Prelog as honorary doctor of pharmaceutical sciences at the FPh and Doctor honoris causa at the University of Zagreb are described.
