Robert F. Furchgott, pharmacologist and joint winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology (1998) died on the 12th of May 2009 aged 92. By unlocking the astonishingly diverse biological actions of nitric oxide, Furchgott leaves behind a rich legacy that has both revolutionized our understanding of human physiology and stimulated new and exciting opportunities for drug development in a wide range of pathological conditions. In this article, William Martin, who worked with Furchgott for 2 years (1983-1985), following the exciting discovery of endothelium-derived relaxing factor/nitric oxide, pays tribute to his close friend and colleague.
罗伯特·弗奇戈特（Robert Furchgott），药理学家，诺贝尔医学或生理学奖（1998 年）得主，于 2009 年 5 月 12 日逝世，享年 92 岁。通过揭示一氧化氮惊人多样的生物学作用，弗奇戈特留下了丰富的遗产，不仅彻底改变了我们对人类生理学的理解，还为广泛的病理条件下的药物开发带来了新的、令人兴奋的机会。本文作者威廉·马丁（William Martin）在发现内皮衍生的松弛因子/一氧化氮后，与弗奇戈特合作了 2 年（1983-1985 年），他向这位亲密的朋友和同事致敬。
