Ibuprofen, the propionics and NSAIDs: personal reflections over four decades
150 Salcombe Drive, Arnold, Nottingham, NG5 8JF, England, UK.
Abstract:
In 1952 I re-joined the Pharmacological Division of the Research Department of the Boots Co. in Nottingham UK to work on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but with the distinct disadvantage that the Division was housed in a group of rambling buildings attached to a Victorian house. The Division had moved there at the beginning of World War II from the centre of Nottingham as a precaution against bombing - a wise move since part of the Research Department was destroyed in an air raid in 1941. Hence the first six years of my research was carried out under rather unfavourable conditions, for my laboratory was one of the two 'front' rooms of the house.
