%X Sa£¿etak In 2018 the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Zagreb School of Medicine celebrated 100 years since it was established by professor Fran Bubanovi£¿. This essay is focused on his successors, outstanding teachers and scientists, professors Tomislav Pinter and Mihovil Pro£¿tenik, members of Yugoslavian (today Croatian) Academy of Sciences and Arts. Tomislav Pinter was a prominent physical chemist who had an original approach and gave novel interpretation of van der Waals and Wohl¡¯s equations. He also served as the president of Croatian Chemical Society. Neurobiochemist Mihovil Pro£¿tenik started as an organic chemist at ¡°Prelog¡¯s Zagreb School of Organic Chemistry¡±. He collaborated with two Croatian Nobel prize winners in chemistry: his PhD thesis supervisor Vladimir Prelog and Lavoslav Ru£¿i£¿ka. He was the founder of ¡°Zagreb School of Lipidology¡±, discovered a new sphingoid base C20-sphingosine, and had a major role in the establishment of Ru£¿er Bo£¿kovi£¿ Institute. Herein we honor their contributions to Croatian science and beyond, and share so far unpublished valuable material from the Department archive.
