Karrer, Paul

Born Apr. 21, 1889, in Moscow. Swiss organic chemist and biochemist. Graduated from the University of Zürich in 1911. From 1912 to 1918 he conducted pharmaco-chemical research in Frankfurt am Main with P. Ehrlich on complex metal salts and produced the silver-arsphenamine complex. He has been a professor at the University of Zürich since 1918 and director of the Institute of Chemistry in Zürich since 1919.

Karrer established the structure and conducted the synthesis of a number of biologically active natural compounds (carbohydrates, alkaloids, lecithins, anthocyanides, many carotenoids, and vitamins A, B₂, E, K, and B₁ and their coenzymatic forms). He and the English scientist W. Haworth shared a Nobel Prize in 1937.
