Neurohypophyseal Peptides from Prague and Swedish Laboratories Used as Medications: Desmopressin, Terlipressin, Carbetocin. Part 1: History of Research and Beginnings of Industrial Production
Abstract:From the fifties to the seventies of the last century, the neurohypophyseal peptides oxytocin and vasopressin constituted one of the main research areas at the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry in Prague (IOCB). A significant contribution to this area is associated with the names of František Šorm, director of the said institute, and Josef Rudinger, head of the institute's peptide laboratory. At that time, newly developed research tools enabled to synthesize structural analogues of these hormones… Show more
