AB Drugs  have  been  used  for  the  treatment  of  infectious  diseases  since  the  17th  century  (eg,  quinine  for  malaria,  emetine  for  amebiasis);  however,  chemotherapy  as  a  science  began  in  the  first  decade  of  the  20th  century  with  understanding  of  the  principles  of  selective  toxicity,  the  specific  chemical  relationships  between  microbial  pathogens  and  drugs,  the  development  of  drug  resistance,  and  the  role  of  combined  therapy.  Experiments  led  to  the  arsphenamines  for  syphilis,  the  first  planned  chemotherapeutic  regimen.
