The big bottleneck in going from gene to drug is having the chemical know-how to create a small molecule drug, the kind of chemical that can be produced very cheaply and sold for a lot of money.

They made every minor modification they could to that chemical, and came up with the MLN4670 molecule.

The firm's founders realised that biological synthesis of certain sorts of molecule is much more efficient than chemical synthesis.

The sugammadex molecule resembles a hungry octopus, with eight chemical arms that can grab the muscle relaxant already sold by Organon and put it into a mawlike hole.

Because most small-molecule drugs can be manufactured with easily replicable chemical processes that lead to a largely reproducible drug formulation, the clinical trial data that supported approval of the original version can be relied upon for the generic versions.

FORBES: Commentary

Each DNA molecule in the body contains two long strands of chemical letters, or bases--A, T, C and G--that come together like a twisted ladder (a.k.a. the double helix).

To accomplish this unique approach, Organon chemist Anton Bom came up with a molecule that resembles a hungry octopus, with eight chemical "arms" that can grab the muscle relaxant and trap it in a maw-like hole.

It's not well-known or even thought about but ever since Leo Hendricks unveiled the first fully synthetic moldable hard plastic called Bakelite to the American Chemical Society in 1909, except for a very small percentage that has been incinerated, every single molecule of plastic ever manufactured still exists somewhere in our environment.
