Nobel Prize, 1988
he award of the 1988 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine to three
industrial scientists is a long overdue recognition of the major
contributions of drug development to modern medicine. It is no longer
necessary for patients to suffer the pain of angina, stomach ulcers and
gout; new drugs that have been developed by Nobel laureates Sir James
Black, Gertrude Elion and George Hitchings have allowed these very
common conditions to be alleviated or cured. Zidovudine (AZT) was the
first drug to offer hope to AIDS victims.
