Thanks to links I don't remember(oh! this piece on animals as pharmaceutical factories by Niko McCarty & Xander Balwit), I ended up on the website of Asimov Press, and I found their pitch list. This is a wild list of pieces they would like to fund (and who knows if someone has taken them up on it?), but it is a fun idea either way. Seems to me that this article about NSAIDs would be fun to read:
A Brief History of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatories
Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) are among the most prescribed medications globally. This class of drug, which includes things like Aspirin and Ibuprofen, was estimated to have a market size of roughly $18,542.5 million in 2024, according to Cognitive Market Research. The same report suggested that in 2024, North America held a major market share, accounting for more than 40 percent of the global revenue, with a market size of $7,417.00 million. As the increasing prevalence of chronic pain conditions, an aging population, and a preference for over-the-counter pain management solutions make this market ever larger, we want to know the history (and contemporary discussions) surrounding this ubiquitous drug. We often forget to marvel at the basic medicine available to us today. However, it deserves acclaim. So whether you want to dive into NSAIDs, or other such “ordinary” and “commonplace” drugs, Asimov Press is looking to extoll the basics in the medicine cabinet.
So why don't you write it! I'd even link it! (Lots of other chemistry related stories listed there.) Best wishes to those interested.
