His last published work, a book, was written at age 90 (Understanding Medications: What the Label Doesn't Tell You, June 1995). He founded the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry Research, and published the first major reference work 'Medicinal Chemistry' in two volumes in 1951. Burger was a visiting Professor at the University of Hawaii and lectured throughout the world. He is one of the few academicians to have a drug, designed and synthesized in his laboratories, brought to market. Burger's research focused on analgesics, antidepressants, and chemotherapeutic agents. The chemistry department at UVA became the major academic training ground for medicinal chemists because of Professor Burger. He joined the UVA chemistry faculty in 1938 and served the department until his retirement in 1970.

During his early years at UVA, he synthesized fragments of the morphine molecule in an attempt to find the analgesic pharmacophore. from the University of Vienna in 1928 and joined the Drug Addiction Laboratory in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Virginia in 1929. Professor Alfred Burger was born in Vienna, Austria on Septemand died on December 30, 2000. The Sixth Edition of Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery is being designated as a Memorial Edition. The results of a case study on the Solent estuary in southern England are briefly summarised.Department of Medicinal Chemistry School of Pharmacy - r- m Vir iversityīurger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery is available Online in full color at A John Wiley and Sons, Inc., Publication The method separates over 200 organic compounds within 40 min utilising flame ionisation and ion trap detection and is capable of quantitation down to 5 ng l −1 per component.

The desorbed organics are trapped at −30☌ on a packed cold trap prior to flash volatilisation of the volatiles across a fused-silica transfer line onto a capillary column. After stripping at a flow-rate of 100 ml min −1 for 60 min, the adsorbent tubes are disconnected, fitted with analytical desorption caps and sequentially desorbed for 10 min on a thermal desorber. Volatile eluates are trapped onto selective adsorbents packed inside stainless-steel tubes connected in series. Samples collected in all-glass 1-1 bottles are purged at 60☌ for 1 h in an ultrapure helium gas stream using an open-loop arrangement. In this paper we report a modified variant of the purge-and-trap gas chromatographic analysis of volatile organic carbon compounds in water.
