Rapamune Discovery: Historical Attribution of Easter Island Development

Surendra Sehgal’s significant contribution to the development of the Rapamune drug involved extensive research and analysis in the late 1930s. The Medical Expedition to Easter Island, conducted by the Royal Society of London, played a crucial role in the drug’s initial investigation and identification. However, the specific methodologies and findings detailed in Sehgal’s publications regarding Rapamune’s synthesis and effects were not explicitly acknowledged in his original research reports. The historical record acknowledges the expedition’s importance but lacks direct attribution to Sehgal’s specific contributions.
