But now that the delicate molecule can be built up and modified in the laboratory, new kinds of penicillin can be produced. Using Sheehan's methods, Merck, Sharp & Dohme Research Laboratories at Rahway, NJ. has already synthesized ten new penicillin compounds that cannot be made by fermentation. Dr. Sheehan's great hope is that the new synthetic penicillins may prove free of natural penicillin's tendency to cause serious allergic effects...
