Stuart Adams, the inventor of ibuprofen, is known as the father of ibuprofen. Adams 1923 was born in Northamptonshire, England, and his family was poor. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, he chose to drop out of school and go out to work to make money to supplement his family. He worked as a clerk in a pharmacy of Boots Pharmaceutical Company for three years. During his work, Adams found himself interested in chemistry and pharmacy. Seeing that Adams was particularly interested in pharmacy, the boss of Boots offered to pay him to study pharmacy at Nottingham University. After graduating from undergraduate course, Adams went to graduate school and finally got a doctorate in pharmacology. After graduating from graduate school, 29-year-old Adams returned to work in Boots Pharmaceutical Company. He also changed from a little buddy to a drug research and development engineer. The company assigned him the task of inventing drugs to treat rheumatoid arthritis. There is no sunny day in London, and it is cold all day. Winter is wet and cold, and there are many patients with rheumatoid arthritis in Britain. At that time, the specific medicine for rheumatoid arthritis was aspirin. Aspirin was invented by Germans as early as 1897, and it was specially used to treat rheumatoid arthritis. After tens of thousands of attempts and unremitting efforts, the Adams team finally found ibuprofen. As early as 1985, the global patent of ibuprofen expired. As soon as the patent period came, imitation pharmaceutical factories all over the world began to produce ibuprofen one after another, making ibuprofen an easily available drug. We can easily buy ibuprofen in hospitals and pharmacies.
