Professor Zhang said in a serious tone: "We plan to use this amino acid in the newly developed new drugs. Can you tell us how you plan to name this special amino acid?"
Lu Zhouhan said: "I will pay attention next time."
The secretary in Lu Zhou's office came over with a pot of tea and poured tea for the two of them.
He still knows that streptozotocin, abbreviated as STZ, is on the International Health Organization's list of Class 2B carcinogens. However, the scariest thing about it is not that it causes cancer, but that it can induce diabetes in a variety of organisms, and it is also the culprit of many diabetic patients.
However, after hearing these words, the expression on Lu Zhou's face was even more shocked than him.
"Okay, it's okay. By the way, I've had someone research the companies that called and listed the companies with more suitable qualifications on a form. I've just sent it to your email. When you're free If so, I suggest you take the time to read it.”
"Hello, Professor Lu! I have long admired your name!"
Professor Zhang opened his mouth and wanted to persuade Lu Zhou to give him a more serious name, but seeing that he had no intention of changing his mind, he had no choice but to give up.
What he extracted from cola can't be called coline, right
However, most of the R&D units of these companies are located overseas. Following the lessons learned from Sarote Laboratory, Lu Zhou cautiously excluded these olive branches from overseas considering the risks that may arise from policy.
"Are you planning to switch to selling health care products?"
"You're too kind!"
After meeting Lu Zhou, Professor Zhang stretched out his right hand from a distance, took Lu Zhou's hand and shook it vigorously, making Lu Zhou feel embarrassed.
Lu Zhou: "Well, I'm causing trouble for you."
Lu Zhou opened his mouth and said: "Just call it Keni!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou immediately opened his mailbox and found the report sent by his senior sister.
However, after hearing Lu Zhou's words, Professor Zhang looked a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.
"Later, we conducted experiments on diabetic mice and found that this amino acid has the effect of directly resisting the damage of pancreatic islet beta cells, maintaining their structural integrity and endocrine function, and can also effectively inhibit the streptozotocin-induced islet beta cell damage. Apoptosis."
Is the Nobel Prize beckoning to him again
I have to say that this report is very detailed. Not only the market value, main business, and operating status of each company, but also some information and data that are not easy to find are also listed on the table.
After waiting quietly for more than ten days, just when Lu Zhou was so busy that he almost forgot about it, someone from Hengrui Pharmaceutical suddenly came...
"Do you, Professor Lu... have some special taste in naming?"
Lu Zhou: "There is no allusion...isn't it possible?"
professor Zhang:"… "
The specific cooperation agreement will be negotiated by a dedicated patent management team. Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies is only responsible for sending samples with registered patents to the other party.
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou's expression became even more subtle.
How to deal with this
"Kamino?" Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment, "This...is there any allusion to it?"
Huh
Hearing Professor Zhang's words, the researcher walking next to him smiled shyly.
In that ingredient analysis report, Xu Wenhao directly used letter numbers to name the unknown amino acid, so Lu Zhoutu saved trouble and simply used letter numbers instead.
As for why he chose Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, Lu Zhou mainly focused on their own R&D team. In the future, Jinling Institute for Advanced Study will gradually enter the field of biochemistry, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation between the two parties in the future.
Professor Zhang reminded: "Generally speaking, if you really don't know how to name it, just extract it from there and name it. It is more convenient to have a name."
After some pleasantries, Professor Zhang sat down on the sofa.
"… Used to it."
Lu Zhou said with a subtle expression: "...I haven't thought about this carefully yet."
After taking a sip of the hot tea, Professor Zhang put down the tea cup and went straight to the point without wasting any more time.
After careful selection, Lu Zhou finally chose Hengrui Pharmaceutical as a partner.
Wait... There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this name.
As one of the few domestic pharmaceutical companies willing to spend huge sums of money on new drug research and development, the company is controlled by Hengrui Group, a local company in Suzhou. It has the largest anti-tumor drug R&D and production base in China, and has research and development of diabetes, heart disease and cancer drugs. Also dabbled in.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "That's alright. I think this name is good, so let's call it this."
Hold the grass!
In fact, in addition to Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, there are many good foreign biopharmaceutical companies that are also quite suitable partners, such as Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Roche, etc., which are among the top 100 in the world.
In the office of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, Lu Zhou met Professor Zhang Jiafu, technical director of the new drug R&D department from Hengrui Pharmaceuticals. The reason why I say he is a professor is because in addition to working in a company, he also has a teaching position at a university.
"To be honest, we are developing a diabetes treatment drug. After reading the samples and component analysis reports you sent us, we took it to the laboratory and tried it. The result..." Swallowing, he looked Complex continued, "It's surprising how well the clinical trial response turned out."
Professor Zhang sweated, "It's not impossible."
After three years of research and development, they screened tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of compounds and continued trial and error to find effective ingredients. However, they did not expect that the answer they dreamed of was not selected from those countless mistakes, but instead. A biochemistry research institute that was little-known in the medical field and had not even been established for a year was given the upper hand.
Chen Yushan said helplessly: "It's okay, this is my job, but remember to tell me in advance next time. I was still working on the aerospace technology project yesterday, and suddenly a phone call came over, and I talked a lot about it. I thought they were selling health care products.”
Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment and asked: "Have you not decided how to name it yet?"
It's really hard to accept.
"Hello, you are Professor Zhang. Please take a seat."
After calling Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan couldn't help but complain as soon as she opened her mouth.
"... Treatment is of course impossible. If it is so miraculous, the Nobel Prize Committee will definitely consider you again. However, although it cannot be treated, we found that this amino acid has a very high synergistic effect with insulin and insulin analogs, and can Accelerates glycolysis and lowers blood sugar concentrations."
As Yang Xu said, when the news of Xingkong Technology seeking cooperation with pharmaceutical companies was released, people seeking cooperation did not need to worry about him, and he came to the door.
He originally wanted to say weird, but felt that the word was a bit disrespectful, so he changed his mind.
After listening to Professor Zhang's words, Lu Zhou's expression gradually became serious.
After coming out of the office, Professor Zhang looked at the researcher who had brought him here before and asked with a strange expression.
"... And then I was sacrificed by you?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhou immediately guessed what she was talking about, so he smiled sheepishly.
This gap…
Just by hearing the name, you don’t know what this thing is.
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
“This thing can cure diabetes???”
"... I just accidentally got some by-products during the experiment, which I thought were quite interesting. I thought it would be a pity to waste them, so I might as well use them to benefit the public."
Although it is not as exaggerated as queuing up from the Institute of Computational Materials to the Institute of Physics, at least four or five phone calls a day are annoying to Chen Yushan.
"Name it?" Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment and said subconsciously, "Can't you just use the number or chemical formula?"
