Searle Laboratories

Searle Laboratories was a pharmaceutical company founded in the 1950s, known for developing important medications like aspartame (an artificial sweetener) and the drug propranolol (used for heart conditions). It played a key role in biomedical research and drug discovery. The company focused on creating innovative medicines and was part of larger pharmaceutical corporations over time. Searle's work helped advance healthcare and provided valuable products that are still in use today. The company was eventually acquired by larger firms, integrating its research and products into broader pharmaceutical development efforts.
