Extractions: Prof. Ferid Murad, born in the US, son of an Albanian moslem immigrant father and an American Baptist mother, was awarded the Nobel prize in Medicine in 1998. He received his M.D. Degree in 1965 from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, from which he also received a Ph.D. in Pharmacology that same year. Among other awards/honors that Dr. Murad has earned are the Ciba Award - American Heart Assoc. (1988); NIDDK Bd. of Scientific Counselors (1990-1994) (Chairman, 1993-1994); Lasker Award for Basic Research (1996); Member National Academy of Sciences (1997); Member Inst. of Med. National Academy of Sciences (1998). He is the author/co-author of some 334 medical/scientific publications. The following article about Dr. Murad was excerpted from The Jerusalem Post, November 29, 1998: "Dr. Ferid Murad, chairman of the department of integrative biology and pharmacology at the University of Texas (Houston) Medical School, will receive the Nobel prize along with Robert Furchgott of the State University of New York and Louis Ignarro of the University of Californa at Los Angeles. All three, working independently in Texas, California, and New York, have spent decades conducting basic research on nitric oxide (NO). Not only did their discoveries lead to the use of Viagra for treating impotence, they have now found that NO - which in minute quantities acts as the body's most important signaling molecule - is profoundly involved in blood pressure, heart function, infections, lung problems, and the defense of the body against tumors, as well as having the potential to treat disease.

Extractions: Su descubrimiento hizo posible la Viagra. Profesor en farmacología de la Universidad de Texas, Ferid Murad comprobó que el óxido nítrico es un mensajero entre moléculas que relaja la presión sanguínea. Hijo de un pastor de ovejas albanés sin formación emigrado a Estados Unidos, recibió el Premio Nobel de Medicina en 1998. Ferid Murad, hijo de Jabir Murad Ejupi, un pastor de ovejas que con 19 años huyó de la miseria, de Macedonia a Estados Unidos, nació en Whitin, Indiana, en 1936. Se crió junto a sus dos hermanos menores subido a una banqueta desde donde alcanzaba a fregar la vajilla del restaurante familiar; y así, hasta que fue capaz de tomar comanda y cobrar mesas. Ideó entonces un sistema para memorizar pedidos y sumas. De joven quiso ser médico, profesor y farmacéutico (más o menos lo que hoy es: enseña farmacología en la Universidad de Texas, en Houston). A los 24 años soñaba ya con el Premio Nobel. De su mentor, Earl Sutherland (Nobel en 1971), aprendió la importancia de la comunicación entre células, moléculas, hormonas. A los 38 años, en Virginia, descubrió el funcionamiento del óxido nítrico como mensajero molecular que provoca la relajación y la apertura de los vasos sanguíneos. En el 98, su descubrimiento merece el premio Nobel. Viene el profesor a corbata quitada, sudando tinta de las calles tórridas de Castellón de la Plana, donde junto a otros 17 nóbeles y varias decenas de eminencias internacionales, ha fallado la XVII edición de los Premios Rey Jaime I de Investigación. Ferid Murad habla con un marcado acento americano y mueve sus ojos a la velocidad que habla, con sus pupilas corriendo sobre el párpado inferior como subidas a un raíl, como entendiendo más allá de lo que cuenta. Tiene (o pone) cara de genio y no es difícil imaginarlo manipulando gases y moléculas, desgranando fórmulas entre sus manos regordetas.

The Lasker Foundation | Former Award Winners, Basic Medical Research ferid murad For more than 100 years, physicians have used nitroglycerin as a To ferid murad, for brilliant and ingenious elucidation of the cyclic GMP http://www.laskerfoundation.org/awards/library/1996b_cit_mf.shtml
Extractions: For more than 100 years, physicians have used nitroglycerin as a vasodilator to treat angina pectoris, but its mode of action was totally obscure until the ingenious work of Ferid Murad. In the mid-1970s, Dr. Murad discovered that nitrogen-containing compounds (such as sodium azide, nitroglycerin, nitroprusside and nitric oxide) stimulate the enzyme that synthesizes cyclic GMP, the intracellular signaling molecule that causes smooth muscle cells to relax. Dr. Murad coined the term nitrovasodilators to denote this class of agents, and he postulated that all of them might be metabolized to nitric oxide (NO), which was the real chemical mediator. He also postulated that nitric oxide might be produced endogenously from a precursor to act as an intracellular messenger. Robert Furchgott's dramatic discovery of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF) in 1980 led scientists to search for the chemical nature of this agent. Based on Dr. Murad's paradigm, a nitrovasodilator was suspected, and he coined the term endogenous nitrovasodilator for EDRF. Indeed in 1987 several groups of scientists independently showed that EDRF and nitric oxide were one and the same. Dr. Murad's prediction of an endogenous nitrovasodilator was fulfilled several years after it was originally proposed.

Extractions: Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D. Dr. Murads studies of guanylyl cyclases have added greatly to our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of action for many signaling factors, such as atrial natriuretic peptide, endothelium-derived relaxing factor, and vasodilators. His interest in cyclic nucleotide signaling began over 35 years ago as a graduate student at Case Western Reserve. Dr. Murads work was critical in the demonstration that membrane-bound guanylyl cyclases serve as receptors for transmembrane signaling, and he is considered one of the pioneers in the areas of cyclic AMP and nitric oxide research. His many accomplishments have earned him numerous awards, including an Albert Lasker Medical Research Award in 1996 and membership in the National Academy of Sciences.
