Chapter 5: Great Medicine

The number of words with the English letters E and D is almost infinite. The number of phrases they form when combined is also vast. Even if it is a term specified in the medical category, there are so many of them.

If not known.

It's still a bit difficult to guess all at once.

Come to think of it.

Abel smiled.

Under the gaze of everyone, he said directly: "E is the meaning of Erectile, D is the meaning of dysfunction, and the combination is Erectile dysfunction, I will refer to them as ED." ”

All of you there.

With the exception of Cameron Diaz, there is only one Alvertelli who is not in the field of medicine and medicine. But today's slides and some documents are what he has been preparing, and of course he knows the situation and knows the meaning of these two letters.

Only His Excellency the Life Secretary was ignorant, and he secretly thought to himself: "*** obstacles are *** obstacles when they are connected together...... What does that mean?

The little secretary who suddenly figured out couldn't help but scream, so that the people in the conference room couldn't help but look at her.

I don't know if it was because she blushed when she understood what ED meant, or because she blushed because she disturbed this business meeting, she quickly stood up and apologized with a blushing face: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Beautiful women have always been easily forgiven by men, and it just so happened that all the others in this conference room were men except Cameron Diaz himself. In addition, she didn't really make any mistakes, so everyone laughed it off.

But the representatives of the keen pharmaceutical companies reacted at once. What does Abel mean by these numbers?

The one was just about to raise his hand, but Abel clapped his hands and said to Alvertley, "Al." Send me a copy of the document I have prepared and show it to the gentlemen. After reading the document, everyone will speak. ”

Seeing this, the representatives of the four pharmaceutical companies stopped asking questions.

As the crowd looked at the documents, Abel explained:

"In scientific experiments, accidents are often the most annoying for scientists. But sometimes, accidents are also good things. What you're looking at was discovered by accident when I was experimenting with a drug to treat heart disease. This accident made me verify a philosophical saying in the East, called: "People go to high places, water flows to low places", blood is also a kind of liquid, it also belongs to "water", it naturally flows to low places. ”

As he spoke, the delegates flipped through the documents in their hands.

The first is a patent document that proves something called sildenafil citrate. He has applied for a U.S. patent, a European patent, a Chinese patent, a patent and patents in several other major countries in the world.

Taken together, these things can be called international patents, although strictly speaking, there is no such thing as an "international patent", because patents are territorial, and they are divided into countries/regions. Therefore, there will be the above Chinese patents, American patents, European patents and other national/regional patents.

At present, the legal profession and the academic invention community can generally understand international patents in two ways: in a narrow sense, an international patent is understood as a "PCT international application", that is, a PCT international patent application, and in a broad sense, an international patent can be understood as a "foreign patent".

Among them, it is necessary to extend the "PCT international application", and the difference will not be elaborated. In short, Abel spent more than a month and more than 200,000 US dollars to apply for patents in major countries around the world.

Representatives of pharmaceutical companies continued to read, and Abel's explanation continued:

"Eventually, I got the drug by accident. The main function of this drug is to send blood to a certain area of the body, and this is very effective in treating ED in men, so it has become an unexpected bonus. Its name in the academic world, I call it [sildenafil citrate]. ”

After he finished explaining, everyone also flipped through what he showed the representatives of these pharmaceutical companies today.

It's [sildenafil citrate], I don't know what it is? So, it has two well-known names in China, Wan Ai Ke and Viagra!

In the "original script", the appearance of [sildenafil citrate] was an accident. And it is also one of the four representatives of the pharmaceutical company in front of him, an unexpected product born by accident during a pharmaceutical experiment of Pfizer. It was originally discovered as a drug for the treatment of heart disease and cardiovascular disease, and as a result, [sildenafil citrate] appeared by mistake.

Finally, after years of clinical trials, it was finally released after 2000 and became popular all over the world.

It brought billions of dollars to its creator, Louis J. Ignaro, the father of Viagra, and tens of billions of dollars to Pfizer!

A small blue pill has changed the world and revitalized the majesty of men, and its appearance is really great!

After reading the technical documents, the representatives of the four pharmaceutical companies suddenly breathed roughly.

The representative of Takeda Pharmaceutical, the one who just said that he invited Abel for $1 million, couldn't wait to take the lead:

"No matter what! Mr. Sephorosa, please be sure to sell it to Takeda Pharmaceutical! This [sildenafil citrate] is really a great creation! Takeda Pharmaceutical will definitely satisfy you!"

The representative of Pfizer was not to be outdone, and he hurriedly followed: "The same goes for Pfizer." Our price will be more advantageous, please be sure to cooperate with us. ”

Compared with Pfizer, there is also Takeda Pharmaceutical. The other two representatives, the representatives of the two companies in the world number one and the world number two at this time, they were relatively calmer.

The representative of Bristol-Myers Squibb Pharmaceuticals couldn't help but ask:

"Sir, has this creation of yours been verified? Is it physical, or is it only medically verified?"

A representative from Merck & Co., Inc. also asked: "The data looks very attractive, and these patents look fascinating." But whether it can really interview and go public through regulation is really a question. ”

"Hehe......"

Abel smiled softly.

"That's exactly what I want to explain to you in the bottom document. Before I met you, I had already applied to the FDA a month ago. ”

"And now we've reached the fifth step of the FDA's special application, which is the [Special Evaluation Protocol] stage. ”

Has the FDA application reached step 5?

This sentence made the representatives of the two pharmaceutical companies, who were originally slightly hesitant, nervous all of a sudden.
