Students create Martin Shkreli's $750 drug for just $2
Australian high school students have created anti-parasitic drug Daraprim's active compound in a laboratory for around $2, a year after American pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli increased the drug's price in USA from $13.50 to $750 apiece. Daraprim, which is on the World Health Organisation's list of essential medicines, is used to treat infections such as toxoplasmosis and malaria.
