Textbook Question
Chapter 10.5, Problem 10.13CT
Modern methods of drug discovery involve systematic studies of compounds with only small variations in structure and computer modeling, among other techniques. Sometimes side effects of a drug may open the door for its usefulness in treating other illnesses. There are many examples where a new drug was discovered by “chance.” Find an example of a drug that was discovered by unusual circumstances and describe its discovery.
