The Propionic Acids: A Personal Perspective
@article{Adams1992ThePA, title={The Propionic Acids: A Personal Perspective}, author={S. S. Adams}, journal={The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology}, year={1992}, volume={32} }
In searching during the early 1950s for new drugs for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, little information was available to allow a rational approach. The mode of action of the few drugs available was unknown and even the analgesic action of aspirin could not be demonstrated in animals. A speculative concept was developed that aspirin possessed a specific unidentified action in rheumatoid arthritis and that this and its analgesic properties were related to its ability to delay the… CONTINUE READING
