William Withering
William Withering FRS (17 Mart 1741 - 6 Ekim 1799), İngiliz botanikçi, jeolog, kimyager, doktor ve digitalisin biyoaktivitesinin ilk sistematik araştırmacısıdır.
Withering, bir cerrahın oğlu olarak Shropshire, Wellington'da doğdu.[1]Doktorluk eğitimi aldı ve Edinburgh Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi'nde tıp okudu. 1779'dan itibaren Birmingham General Hospital'da çalıştı. Rivayete göre, ödem (konjestif kalp yetmezliğinden kaynaklanan şişlik) olan bir kişinin geleneksel bir bitkisel ilaç aldıktan sonra önemli ölçüde iyileştiğini fark etmiştir; karışımdaki aktif maddenin yüksük otu bitkisinden geldiğini fark etmesiyle ünlendi.[2] Aktif bileşen, bitkinin bilimsel adından sonra artık digoksin olarak bilinmektedir. 1785'te Withering, klinik deneyler hakkında raporlar ve digitalisin etkileri ve toksisitesi hakkında notlar içeren An Account of the Foxglove ve bazı Tıbbi Kullanımlarını yayınladı.[3]

William Withering
English scientist (1741–1799)
William WitheringFRS (17 March 1741 – 6 October 1799) was an English botanist, geologist, chemist, physician and first systematic investigator of the bioactivity of digitalis.
Withering was born in Wellington, Shropshire, the son of a surgeon.[1] He trained as a physician and studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. He worked at Birmingham General Hospital from 1779. The story is that he noticed a person with dropsy (swelling from congestive heart failure) improve remarkably after taking a traditional herbal remedy; Withering became famous for recognising that the active ingredient in the mixture came from the foxglove plant.[2] The active ingredient is now known as digoxin, after the plant's scientific name. In 1785, Withering published An Account of the Foxglove and some of its Medical Uses, which contained reports on clinical trials and notes on digitalis's effects and toxicity.&
