Louis Lewin (born in Tuchel, West Prussia, 9 November 1850; died 1 December 1929 in Berlin) was a German pharmacologist. In 1886, he published the first methodical analysis of the Peyote cactus, a variant of which was named ''Anhalonium lewinii'' in his honor. He received his education at the gymnasium and the University of Berlin (M.D. 1876). The two years following his graduation he spent at Munich, in the laboratories of von Voit and Pettenkofer. Returning to Berlin in 1878, he became assistant at the pharmacological institute of the university, and in 1881 he was admitted to the medical faculty as ''Privatdozent''. In 1897 he was finally appointed professor. In Berlin, a street and the nearby underground train station were named in his honor. ==Drug classification== One of Lewin's most enduring tasks was to create a system of classification of psychoactive drugs and plants based on their pharmacologic action. His original categories were: * Inebriantia (Inebriants such as alcohol or ether) * Exitantia (Stimulants such as Khat or Amphetamine) * Euphorica (Euphoriants and Narcotics such as Heroin) * Hypnotica (Tranquilizers such as Kava) * Phantastica (Hallucinogens or Entheogens such as Peyote or Ayahuasca) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Louis Lewin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
