O renascimento de um fármaco: talidomida
Thalidomide, first synthesized in 1953, was widely prescribed for morning sickness of pregnant women from 1957 to 1961, when it was found to be seriously teratogenic, having caused serious birth defect. Nowadays, a quarter of a century later, it appears that it may be a miracle drug for such diseases as leprosy, AIDS, cancer and tuberculosis.
