ALARCON-AGUILAR, Francisco Javier et al. Evolution of research in the Pharmacology Laboratory at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Iztapalapa: A Historical Review. J. Mex. Chem. Soc [online]. 2024, vol.68, n.4, pp.685-717.  Epub 03-Mar-2025. ISSN 1870-249X.  https://doi.org/10.29356/jmcs.v68i4.2267.

This paper aims to trace essential milestones in the history of the investigation activities developed throughout the past four decades in the Laboratory of Pharmacology of the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Iztapalapa (LFUAMI), emphasizing the contribution of Dr. Rubén Román-Ramos, the leader who guided and promoted the chemical and pharmacological investigation of natural products in the LFUAMI. Dr. Rubén Román-Ramos impacted the development of new generations, who continue contributing to and strengthening this field, both outside and inside our university, by developing the science and technology in chemistry and pharmacology research. From this historical review of the LFUAMI, it is possible to identify leading features in its different periods; the periods are characterized by the scientific evidence primary generated, the methodological impact in the results, and technological development and impact in the state of the art. It should be noted that the periods overlap, creating a cumulative effect. To conclude, we will summarize the historical milestones and present some research avenues currently pursued and some perspectives.
