In the empty drug laboratory, the printer kept making a squeaking sound.
Chen Chen's eyes left the electron microscope in front of the experimental table, stood up and let out a breath.
As the plan gradually got on track, I finally had the capital to conduct research on NZT-48.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen picked up the printed experimental report and quickly browsed through the research results of the past few days.
Drug name: Unnamed.
Ingredients: C15H15NO2S, C9H13N, C23H21N6O3Cl.CH4O3S, C18H14Cl4N2O.
1. Molar refractive index: 44.09
2. Molar volume (cm3mol): 161.5
…
5. Polarizability (10-24cm3): 17.47
Emmmmm…
Chen Chen showed a complicated expression.
The drug NZT-48 is actually produced by combining a variety of synthetic drugs.
In addition to some common compounds, it also involves multi-functional targeting molecules.
Among the ingredients of NZT-48, Chen Chen discovered 2-[(R)-(diphenylmethyl)sulfinyl]acetamide, α-methylphenethylamine, benzodiazepines, clonidazolam, Miconazole and other ingredients.
God TM Miconazole…
Chen Chen found many chemical formulas of pharmaceuticals that appear frequently in modern times, such as modafinil, amphetamines, etc., and even found the ingredients of daxonine? ?
Chen Chen deliberately searched the Internet and found an article about miconazole being an effective new myelin regeneration agent.
In the study, the group demonstrated that miconazole can enhance myelination by inhibiting the expression of cholesterol-generating enzymes in stem cells, under the search name: "umulation of 8,9-unsaturatedsterols drive soligodendrocyte formation and remyelination."
Of course, these research results are still in the laboratory for the time being, and there is no real clear direction.
In addition, Chen Chen also discovered traces of N-pyridin-4-ylpiperazine-1-carboxamide in the drug, which can treat neurodegeneration.
Through the efficacy of several subsequent drugs, Chen Chen was able to determine that part of the pharmacological effects of NZT-48 should be on the nerve myelin.
The so-called myelin sheath is a type of oligodendrocyte that wraps along the axons of neurons to form a composite cell membrane.
The main component of myelin is fat, which is produced by ganglion cells and forms a lipid sheath that has an insulating effect, can increase the transmission speed of nerve impulses, and protect nerve axons.
That is to say, in addition to proficiency, a person's reaction speed is actually determined by the nerve myelin sheath. The thicker and more developed the nerve myelin sheath is, the faster a person's reaction speed is.
vice versa.
In addition, Chen Chen also discovered various essential amino acids for the human body such as phenylalanine and isoleucine in NZT-48.
In other words, the NZT drug itself contains some nutrients needed for the brain to operate at high speed. This did not surprise Chen Chen, but it felt like a matter of course.
After all, the brain can maintain high-intensity exercise for 12 consecutive hours without adequate nutrition.
However, for the time being, NZT-48 should be classified as a standard neurological synthetic drug. It is also a brain metabolism and circulation improver, an awakening promoter, and a cognitive enhancer.
During this period of time, Chen Chen gradually figured out some clues through testing his body fluids.
NZT-48 has a certain neuroprotective effect, and its central excitatory effect is probably by increasing glutamine synthetase, thereby reducing the production of γ-aminobutyric acid, and promoting the detoxification function and energy metabolism activities of nerve cells... right?
In terms of efficacy, the onset of action is about 3 minutes after oral administration, and the duration is 11 to 13 hours. The plasma concentration reaches its peak about 1 hour after oral administration.
The bioavailability of oral tablets is 90%, and the total protein binding rate is 90%. The drug and its metabolites are excreted in urine and feces, and the apparent plasma clearance rate is 110 to 180 ml per minute.
The above are all the experimental results.
Looking at this report, Chen Chen was not satisfied.
Because according to the process of the experiment, he only solved 30% of the ingredients of the drug, and 70% of the ingredients of NZT-48 are still unknown.
And if you want to fully study those ingredients, it will not be accomplished overnight.
If he really wanted to do research, Chen Chen would need at least a fully functional experimental center, a large team of more than a hundred people, and astronomical experimental funds.
It seems that in addition to a power plant, Chen Chen has one more goal for the future.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen's lips curved into a smile.
Not only did Chen Chen not become decadent or discouraged because of the obstacles ahead, but he became even more ambitious.
In other words, after taking NZT-48, Chen Chen would not have negative emotions such as decadence and discouragement at all.
After destroying all traces in the laboratory, Chen Chen climbed onto the experimental table, reconnected several cameras with their circuits cut off in the corners of the laboratory, and then went to the roof in the middle of the laboratory.
Standing on the experimental table, Chen Chen looked around, then took out a lighter and pointed it at the fire nozzle.
Click!
A crisp sound came out, and a faint blue flame suddenly rose from the lighter.
"Didi!"
The smart chip of the fire nozzle detected the abnormal temperature and immediately issued a warning. Immediately, four or five nozzles in the entire laboratory sprayed out a large amount of water like a goddess scattering flowers.
In an instant, the entire laboratory suffered a complete disaster. Various experimental instruments were powered off one after another, and were immediately soaked in the heavy rain...
Chen Chen wiped the water stains on his face and turned to leave the laboratory.
As soon as he walked out, Chen Chen saw a large group of people rushing over from the office area.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
a Mediterranean man asked in panic, leading a group of security guards armed with fire extinguishers.
"It's okay, I just accidentally triggered the fire alarm while doing the experiment." Chen Chen said calmly.
One of the security guards rushed into the laboratory quickly and walked out after confirming that there was no source of fire. He said in shock, "Manager, there is no fire, it's just all the experimental instruments..."
The Mediterranean men and the others looked at Chen Chen blankly again.
"Don't worry, I will compensate."
…
After all, renting laboratories from other companies is not a long-term solution. It seems that it is time to open an experimental center of our own.
On the way back, Chen Chen silently planned.
Then he picked up his phone and dialed a number.
"Manager Xia, are you ready with all the things I need including my passport and visa?" Chen Chen asked.
"Chairman Chen, I have prepared all the things you need and put them at your home." Xia Yin said in a strange tone on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, I'll go back and take a look."
He hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to say anything more, and Chen Chen immediately drove his battery car back to the industrial park.
Returning to the Blacklight Biotechnology Data Center, as soon as he entered the gate, Chen Chen saw goods piled on the floor, with a passport and a Swiss business visa on top.
Chen Chen took out a pair of scissors, took apart the goods, and then moved them to the door of the power distribution room.
"X, it's me." Chen Chen said to the door of the power distribution room.
"Click."
The heavy door of the power distribution room opened with a sound...
