[The Formulaires of Magendie (1821-1840) of the chemical pharmacy to pharmacology].
With nine consecutive issues published from 1821 to 1836, the Formulaire concepted by Magendie as a usual tool for the medical precriptions, was first dedicated to the new chemical pharmaceuticals, mainly the pure alcaloids, strychnine, quinine and morphine, extracted from raw products. As well he included mineral chemicals, hydrocyanates, iodine and bromide, all supported by newly achieved works, from Pelletier, Caventou and others. Magendie perfectly skilled in animal experimentation, developped and standardized the as far as to evaluate the activity and safety degrees of these new components. It clearly anticipated the evaluation plan determined by the law for the registration of the new drugs in the twentieth century.
