Tylenol is a brand name for the drug acetaminophen. It is now a generic medication available from several drug companies.

I believe the initial research and development for the drug came from McNeil Laboratories, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. I believe one primary researcher was James Roth, a gastroenterologist.

This forum is for learning Spanish but I'll give you a lead.

Tylenol is brand name of the generic drug Paracetamol (BP - British Pharmacopoeia ) and acetaminophen (USP). Now find its history on Wikipedia.
