		The lasting legacy of the pharmacologist Sir John Vane, who has died aged 77, will be the millions of lives saved each year by the use of daily low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and strokes, and of the angiotensin converting enzyme (Ace) inhibitors for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure.
		John published around 900 original articles, wrote or edited 20 books, received more than 25 medals, prizes and awards, was made a fellow of around 30 societies or institutions (including Fellowship of the Royal Society in 1974), and was given honorary awards by 17 universities.
		John was one of the greatest pharmacologists of the 20th century; for his colleagues, he will be remembered as an outstanding teacher, speaker, writer, thinker, manager, friend and all-round inspiration.

		Sir John Vane, who died on Friday aged 77, shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1982 for his discovery, in 1976, of prostacyclin, the blood-vessel dilating prostaglandin that inhibits blood-clotting, and for his earlier work on aspirin.
		Vane's discoveries led to new treatments for heart and blood-vessel disease, and to the development and introduction of a new class of life-saving drugs to control pulmonary hypertension - the Ace inhibitors - from which tens of thousands of people around the world have since benefitted.
		During this period, when Vane had time for research, he developed, with others, the cascade superfusion bioassay technique for measurement of, dynamically and instantaneously, the release and fate of vasoactive hormones in the circulation or in the perfusion fluid of isolated organs.

	Sir John Vane; Nobel laureate who helped decipher aspirin; 77 \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Vane's research with aspirin, already the most widely used drug in the world, also helped advance new therapies for heart and blood vessel disease and contributed to the development of two classes of widely prescribed drugs, the cox-2 inhibitors for pain and inflammation and the ACE inhibitors in blood pressure.
		Vane entered the University of Birmingham in 1944 to study chemistry but was discouraged by a lack of enthusiasm there for his desire to experiment.
		Vane also helped the development of another class of drugs, the ACE inhibitors (for angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors), which are widely prescribed to treat high blood pressure, heart failure and other circulatory diseases.

		Sir John is credited with discovering how aspirin and similar drugs produce their effects; his work provided a scientific basis for the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of aspirin and also provided an explanation for how aspirin prevented blood clots and helped prevent heart attacks and strokes.
		Sir John also assisted with the development of a family of medicines called ACE inhibitors, which are widely used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure and a number of other vascular diseases.
		John and I went back a long way and we have interacted in various ways over the years most recently in setting up, with other old and mutual friends, Vanguard Medica which was John's brainchild.

	Pulmonary Hypertension Association
		It’s been 20 years since Dr Vane shared the Nobel Prize for his studies of prostaglandins, and his discovery of one of them, prostacyclin, eventually ushered in a new era in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
		Dr Vane was cited by the Nobel committee for his “discovery of the prostaglandin known as prostacyclin in 1976, and for analyzing its biological effects and function.” Yet it was years before the drug epoprostenol (Flolan) was first used in pulmonary hypertension after Timothy Higenbottam, MD, documented its efficacy in the disease in 1987.
		Dr Vane suggested that the synergism could be related to the fact that silde-nafil inhibits consumption of both cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP.

		One contradictory reference, citing the Record of Dulwich College where John Vane was a Fellow from 1818 to 1848, says he was "the acknowledged natural son of Lord Castlereagh" (Foreign Secretary and Leader of the House of Commons during the post-Napoleonic period).
