Über uns Kapitelübersicht: Gertrude Belle Elion Pharmakologin, Biochemikerin Gertrude Belle Elion * 23. Januar 1918 in New York Als Gertrude Elion Anfang des Jahres 1999 verstarb, war sie nicht nur Inhaberin von 45 chemisch-pharmakologischen Patenten, sondern auch Trägerin von 25 Ehrendoktoren sowie Mitinhaberin des Nobelpreises für Medizin und Physiologie. Diese Anerkennung erhielt sie im Jahre 1988 "für ihre Entdeckung der wichtigen Prinzipien für die Arzneimittelbehandlung" zusammen mit dem britischen Pharmakologen Sir James Whyte Black (*1924) und dem US-amerikanischen Pharmakologen und Biochemiker George R. Hitchings (*1905). Indes in vielen deutschen Medizinlexika sucht man ihren Namen vergebens. Hunter College Analytische Chemie und schloss das Studium im Alter von 19 Jahren mit "summa cum laude" ab. Nach ihrer Promotion im Fach Chemie auf der New York University oder "Blutkrebs", wie diese bösartige Erkrankung auch genannt wird. Als ersten Erfolg auf diesem Wege gilt das im Jahre 1952 von Gertude Elion und ihrem Team synthetisierte 2-Amino-6-Mercaptopurin (späterer Handelsname "Purinethol"). Schon im Jahr darauf setzte der US-amerikanische Therapeut Joseph Holland Burchenal (*1912) als Erster Purinethol zur Bekämpfung der akuten und chronischen myeloischen Leukämie erfolgreich ein. Das Jahr 1953 gilt daher als der Beginn des Einsatzes synthetische Substanzen bei der Chemotherapie bestimmter Krebserkrankungen beim Menschen und Gertrude Elions Name ist seither untrennbar mit der Chemotherapie der Leukämie verbunden.
Extractions: Nobel Laureate Gertrude Elion, DSc, Draws Overflow Audience to Annual Rehfuss Lecture Notables Drawn by her extensive knowledge and lively teaching style, a standing-room-only audience of nearly 300 Jeffersonians overflowed Connelly Conference Hall to hear Nobel Laureate Gertrude B. Elion, DSc, deliver the 34th Annual Martin E. Rehfuss Lecture, "Challenges and Rewards of Pharmaceutical Research." Don Walker Photography - Before delivering the 34th Annual Martin E. Rehfuss Lecture to an overflow gathering of Jeffersonians, Nobel Laureate Gertrude B. Elion, DSc, at right, held an informal question-and-answer dialogue with residents, graduate students and post-doctoral fellows. Robert L. Capizzi, MD, Magee Professor of Medicine and Chairman of the Department, Jefferson Medical College, at left, hosted the session, saying later that "Dr. Elion enthralled her audience with her candor, especially regarding her career in the synthesis of drugs that might inhibit nucleic acids, realizing that, at the time, the structure of DNA had not as yet been defined." Every year since 1964 the Percival E. and Ethel Brown Foerderer Fund has sponsored the Rehfuss Lecture. Mr. Foerderer was a Jefferson trustee from 1928 until his death in 1968, and served as Board Chairman from 1950 to 1962. Mrs. Foerderer was President of the Women's Board from 1947 to 1952. Their granddaughters, Mrs. Shelley Ames Hartz and Mrs. Ethel F. Davis, attended this year's lecture, with Mrs. Davis presenting the Rehfuss Medal to Dr. Elion.

Elion QUOTE I THINKTHEREFORE I'M SINGLE LIZZ WINSTEAD March 12,2001 Gertrude B. Elion Gertrude B. Elion, Trudy to most, was a biochemist that became a unique figure in drug research. Her research revolutionized both drug-making and medicine. Elion spent years teaching schools, taking secretarial courses and working in marginal laboratory jobs before she could get a job in chemical research. For years she was the only woman in a top post in a major pharmaceutical corp. Elion's accomplishments include making organ transplants possible, transforming the 0% survival rate for childhood for leukemia to 80% survival rate, and she laid the foundation for the AZT drug used to treat AIDS patients. In 1988, Mrs. Elion won the Nobel Peace Prize in science. She is one of only 9 women to have won a Nobel Peace Prize. ~THANK YOU MRS. ELION~

Extractions: This online-only exhibit was developed to support the Women in History Month activities of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. Quotations were selected to illustrate the diversity, personal experiences, influence, and significance of women in the sciences, both in history and today. The exhibit is comprised of two sections: Barton Bates Blackburn Clance ... Zoback Barton, Jacqueline. "The remarkable thing about that is when we did see cell death, we observed that it is in the same regions of the brain as one would see in HD. We never expected this. Remember, we have this short fragment of the protein, not the whole protein, being expressed in mice. So in terms of what this polyglutamine load is doing in brains, we can say that it doesn't easily kill cells, because we don't see any cell death until the very, very end stage. And it's very selective. It's making cells dysfunction, and that's what's causing the symptoms. This may well be what's happening in patients."
