  abstract = {{W}e studied steroid research from 1935 to 1965 that led to the discovery of the contraceptive pill and cortisone. {B}ibliometric and patent file searches indicate that the {S}yntex industrial laboratory located in {M}exico and the {U}niversidad {N}acional {A}utónoma de {M}{\'e}xico ({UNAM}) produced about 54% of the relevant papers published in mainstream journals, which in turn generated over 80% of the citations and in the case of {S}yntex, all industrial patents in the field between 1950 and 1965. {T}his course of events, which was unprecedented at that time in a developing country, was interrupted when {S}yntex moved its research division to the {US}, leaving {M}exico with a small but productive research group in the chemistry of natural products.},
