Extractions: George H. Hitchings [Editor's note: George H. Hitchings died on February 27, 1998, just a few days after this issue was printed.] George H. Hitchings, '27, knew he'd been considered for the Nobel Prize in medicine. He'd already received many other awards for his basic research on designing drugs, which led to the development of medications for various cancers and bacterial infections, as well as AIDS, herpes, gout, malaria and transplantation. Still, he was surprised when he won. At 83, he thought he was too old to be considered anymore, though he was still hard at work in science and philanthropy, as president of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund in Research Triangle Park, N.C. His only regret was that his first wife could not be by his side when he accepted the prize. Beverly Reimer Hitchings died in 1985, after 52 years of marriage. His second wife, physician Joyce Shaver Hitchings, shared Hitchings' story, as he is now blind, has Alzheimer's disease, and could not be interviewed. "He's still enjoying family, old friends, music. The physcial beauty of Nature has become more vivid," she says. "We live near a lake, which reminds him of Puget Sound and Friday Harbor, where he did research." In September 1988, shortly before the prize announcement, Hitchings had started a whirlwind courtship with Joyce Shaver, 26 years his junior. When the prize was announced the next month, she recalled, "My first thought was, `Oh no, I've lost him to the world.' "

Extractions: My forebears all came from the United Kingdom. On my father's side, they migrated from London and County Derry in Northern Ireland to Londonderry, New Hampshire. When the American Revolution came, they, as loyalists, moved on to Canada. My father, grandfather and great-grandfather were born in St. Andrews, New Brunswick. In 1865, my grandfather, Andrew Hitchings, moved his family to Eureka, California. Andrew was a skilled craftsman in the building of wooden ships, and my father, George Herbert Hitchings, Sr., followed in his footsteps, eventually becoming a marine architect and master builder. On my mother's side, Scottish and English prevailed. The first American was one Thomas Littlejohn from near Edinburgh, who came to the New World about 1735. His descendants, including Shaws, Eldridges and Thomases, moved about in the Maritime Provinces and New England. My maternal grandfather and great-grandfather were descendants of the Matthews family that emigrated twenty-four strong from near Glasgow to Prince Edward Island about 1800. My grandfather, Peter Matthews, married Sara Elizabeth Eldridge, and my mother, Lillian Matthews, was born in Maine. In 1875, my grandfather moved his family across the United States. He, too, was a shipbuilder and settled in Eureka. My mother and father met and were married in Eureka, and my two sisters were born there. About 1897, Peter Matthews established a shipyard in Hoquiam, Washington, to build lumber carriers for the E.K. Wood Lumber Company. The company built several schooners a year. When Peter Matthews died, my father succeeded to the management, which then became Hitchings and Joyce. Later, my father was master builder and supervisor in Bellingham, Washington, and Coos Bay, Oregon, and between times he engaged in marine architecture. He worked in the period between sail and steam and was especially noted for the design of the transition vessel, the steam schooner, which had a wooden hull and was steam propelled.

Extractions: George H. Hitchings reacting to questions at a press conference after it was announced he had won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine, 1988 UPI/Corbis-Bettmann (b. April 18, 1905, Hoquiam, Wash., U.S.d. Feb. 27, 1998, Chapel Hill, N.C.), American pharmacologist who, along with Gertrude B. Elion and Sir James W. Black , received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1988 for their development of drugs that became essential in the treatment of several major diseases. Hitchings received his bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Washington and earned a Ph.D. in biochemistry at Harvard University in 1933. He taught at Harvard until 1939, and in 1942 he joined the Burroughs Wellcome Laboratories, at which he conducted research until his retirement in 1975. Over a span of nearly 40 years, Hitchings worked with Elion, who was first his assistant and then his colleague in research at Burroughs Wellcome. Together they designed a variety of new drugs that achieved their effects by interfering with the replication or other vital functions of specific pathogens (disease-causing agents). In the 1950s they developed thioguanine and 6-mercaptopurine (6MP), which became important treatments for leukemia. In 1957 their alteration of 6MP produced the compound azathioprine, which proved useful in treating severe rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders and in suppressing the body's rejection of transplanted organs. Their new drug allopurinol was an effective treatment for gout. Other important drugs that were developed by Hitchings and Elion include pyrimethamine, an antimalarial agent; trimethoprim, a treatment for urinary and respiratory tract infections; and acyclovir, the first effective treatment for viral herpes.

Extractions: Hitchings, George Herbert US pharmacologist who shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine 1988 with his co-worker Gertrude Elion (1918- ). His work was on anticancer agents, and immunosuppressive drugs and antibiotics that were of vital importance in the growing surgical field of transplantation. Hitchings and Elion started to synthesize compounds that inhibited bacteria from producing DNA and therefore from multiplying, in the hope that these compounds could be used to prevent the rapid growth of cancer cells. They investigated particularly the chemistry of purines and pyrimidines, two groups of chemicals that are involved with DNA synthesis. Their work lead to the production of clinically significant anticancer drugs as well as drugs against malaria, for the treatment of gout and kidney stones, and also drugs that suppressed the normal immune reactions of the body. In the 1970s, Hitchings and Elion's research produced an antiviral compound, acyclovir, active against the herpes virus, which preceded the development by Burroughs Wellcome of AZT, the anti-AIDS compound.
