Over 25 million people in the U.S. alone have benefited from
statins--such drugs as Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor, Pravachol, and
other cholesterol-lowering medicines--in preventing stroke, heart
attack, and other forms of coronary heart disease. But how did
these remarkable, life-saving drugs come into being? In Triumph of
the Heart, Dr. Jie Jack Li, a medicinal chemist and expert on drug
discovery, tells for the first time the fascinating story of
statins. Drawn from discussions with many scientists involved in
the discovery and development of these drugs, the book illuminates
the human side of science by revealing the role played by
persistence, luck, and sudden insight that characterize major
discoveries. For scientists in the drug industry, health care
professionals, students of medicine, and all those intrigued by the
basic human drive to explore and discover, Triumph of the Heart
offers a compelling view of one of the most important drug
discoveries of our time.
