The Institute was founded in 1896 as a separate institution at the University of Zagreb, Croatia, part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time. In other European university centers, pharmacognosy institutes were founded together with pharmacology, botany, pharmaceutical or general chemistry. Julije Domac (1853–1928) graduated phar- macy from the University of Vienna (1874) and received his Ph.D. from the University of Graz (1880) with a paper elucidating the structure of hexene and mannitol obtained from manna.

[email protected] Pharmazie 67: 652–657 (2012) doi: 10.1691/ph.2012.1140 The second edition of the Croato-Slavonian Pharmacopoeia was published in Zagreb in 1901. As the origi- nal scientific work of two university professors, Gustav Janecekˇ and Julije Domac, the Pharmacopoeia had strong scientific foundations and introduced a number of innovations. For the first time, a pharmacopoeia prescribed optical rotation for the examination of essential oils, introduced the quantitative analysis of active ingredients in galenic preparations, standardized the boiling points at the atmospheric pressure of 760 mm Hg, and was the only one to prescribe antidotes for herbal drugs and preparations which may cause poi- soning. It received extremely positive reviews from the most prominent European pharmaceutical experts. It was written in two languages, Latin and Croatian, and had a wider significance, since it reflected the aspirations of the Croatian people for independence. 1.

First recognition of Mendeleev's work can be seen in the Croatian chemical community through the act of Yugoslav Academy of Sciences and Arts which elected Mendeleev as an honorary member (1882). Julije Domac, a pharmacist, a chemist and university professor of pharmacognosy at Zagreb University published his textbook The Inorganic Chemistry for Senior Real-High School Classes (Zagreb, 1901) which is the first textbook written in Croatian language that includes the periodic system table. Gustav Janeček, professor of chemistry at Zagreb University, deserves the most credit for accepting and promoting the periodic system within Croatian chemistry. First university textbook of chemistry in Croatia Chemistry I, General, (Zagreb, 1919), written by Janeček, also includes the periodic table. Croatian scientific community accepted and understood the significance of the Mendeleev's periodic system of elements.
