PDPT-beta: Chemical compound discovered by Seaharvester
scientists in the corpse of a pre-productive phase daghadasi
specimen in 1103. The full name of the compound, Cis-1, 2 paradichlorotriethylaminoprocyclohepatrenyl-4-tricyclohexene-beta,
is rarely used.
The chemical serves as the basis for a family of experimental
broad-spectrum antibiotics which can be selectively "tuned" to wipe out
specific types of of bacterial, viral, and cancerous growths, while leaving
adjacent benign growths untouched. Thus far, no synthesis of the chemical
has been produced, and no source other than the daghadasi oguls
has been discovered. -ld NWO
