Auguste-Arthur Plisson

Auguste-Arthur Plisson (died August 1832{{sfnp|Méquignon|1834}}) was a French chemist. Born in Orléans,{{sfnp|Méquignon|1834}} Plisson was orphaned at an early age, but overcame the difficulties that caused him with the determination he brought to being a student of chemistry in Paris. Taught by Noël-Étienne Henry, chief of the Central Pharmacy of Paris Hospitals (Pharmacie centrale des hôpitaux de Paris, today the Agence générale des équipements et produits de santé),{{sfnp|Blondeau|1832}} he won several awards from the School of Pharmacy of Paris, including a gold medal for chemistry in 1823,{{sfnp|Dillemann|1985}} and was eventually recruited by Henry to work for the Central Pharmacy.{{sfnp|Blondeau|1832}} After several years, during which he published a number of papers on chemical discoveries, he was appointed deputy chief. He was also a member of the Société de Pharmacie (today the Académie nationale de pharmacie).{{sfnp|Blondeau|1832}}

By the late 1820s, Plisson had become chief pharmacist at Paris's Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital.{{sfnp|Blondeau|1832}} In 1827, with Étienne-Ossian Henry, the son of his former tutor, he discovered aspartic acid.{{sfnp|Berzelius|1839}}{{sfnp|Plimmer|1912}}

Plisson died suddenly in 1832 as the result of an attack of cholera.{{sfnp|Blondeau|1832}}
