Chapter Seventy-Six: New Drugs

Luo Xu stayed in Patna for a few days, and in the evening, he would drive to Z-2 alone to check the construction progress, and during the day he would play around, and he would have a leisurely life. After a few days, the pharmaceutical factory has started production again, and is still in accordance with the previous production model, and has obtained the authorization of another biopharmaceutical company to produce an oral liquid, which has obtained the approval of the production drug number and has also passed the review of the US FDA, and can be marketed in the United States. Luo Xu waved his pen, and handed over the matter to Liu Er, asking him to negotiate cooperation with another export company and continue to sell the patent medicine to them.

However, if this is the case, the profit of the pharmaceutical factory cannot maintain the balance of expenditure, and the profit value of oral liquid is not large, and it is sold directly to other companies, so the profit cannot be maximized. Luo Xu didn't care about this money, but he couldn't let him have blood transfusions all the time, and it was good to be able to make money and save snacks.

Therefore, in the afternoon, Luo Xu kept calling the wind to the office.

"Well, you're here, sit down."

Luo Xu put down the teacup, the pharmaceutical factory has a high-level office, but it is full of Indian characteristics and tastes, Luo Xu doesn't know how to appreciate the unique taste of these Indians, so he directly asked people to remove all the decorations and pretend to be a modern office, so he sat down in it with satisfaction.

Feng kept nodding, and he was not polite to Luo Xu, and sat down on the chair in front of the desk as soon as he bent over.

Luo Xu watched the wind and didn't follow the mouth closely, speaking of which, he was a little curious about this man who wore a pair of glasses and always maintained an indifferent expression on his face. This man's surname is very strange, and he doesn't seem to be very enthusiastic about everything, but yesterday, Luo Xu accidentally saw that the wind kept showing a gentle look at a wild cat, and made a grimace to attract the wild cat, Luo Xu almost fell down in surprise. Overall, this man should be the strangest of the employees he recruited.

"I have something I want to discuss with you."

The wind kept moving, and when he heard this, he still looked at Luo Xu quietly.

Luo Xu coughed, "Stop, how is the situation in the research center?" ”

The wind was silent and said, "It's okay." ”

I'm dizzy, can't you just say a few more words? You can pretend better than me!

Luo Xu shouted wildly in his heart, his face remained silent, his hands crossed to support his chin and stared at the wind solemnly: "What do you think of the researchers in the research center?" ”

Probably Luo Xu's words involved his own profession, and Feng kept saying a few more words: "Those people are still a little level, you can consider staying." ”

"I've handed over all this matter to you, you can look at the personnel problem, I trust your vision." Luo Xu paused for a moment and continued: "What is the direction of the research center, have you thought about it clearly?" ”

Feng kept hearing the words and his eyebrows tightened, "Boss, judging from the current scientific research strength of the research center, it should continue to focus on health care pharmaceuticals and continue to develop related products. ”

The wind does not stop this suggestion is very good, and the vision is very vicious to see the current strength of the company, although the company's name has achieved domineering, global biopharmaceutical, but in essence, it is just a small company that has just started. There are countless such pharmaceutical companies in the world, most of them are selling dog meat with mutton, changing the name and packaging of old drugs or old health products, and they are actually on the market. Therefore, not only in China, but also in the world market, how much beneficial effect most health care products have on the human body is to give a big hello, purely as long as you don't eat the dead.

The pharmaceutical industry is a profiteering industry, and pharmaceutical companies are absolutely very ruthless in this regard, a drug with a cost price of only a few dollars can be sold at a high price of several hundred dollars after being listed, and the profit is ten times or hundreds of times. But people in the industry know that despite the huge profits of the pharmaceutical industry, most of the lottery is basically monopolized by the world's top ten large companies, and after earning a lot of money from their own people, they will also license drugs to developing countries and continue to make huge profits. Luo Xu now also has a general understanding that the specification of a foreign anti-cancer drug, Iressa, has a specification of 0.25 grams per tablet and a box of 10 tablets in the mainland, and the price is about 5,500 yuan per box. It is estimated that the cost of raw materials for Iressa is 10 yuan per gram, that is, the cost of raw materials used in 10 tablets is less than 30 yuan, plus labor, packaging materials, water and electricity, logistics, etc., the original cost of a box of medicine is at most dozens of yuan. In China, it has to sell tens of thousands of yuan, but in fact the cost is only a few tens of yuan, most of the profits are seized by foreign pharmaceutical oligarchs, and the rest of the profits are divided between domestic pharmaceutical companies and hospitals, and finally the sinister cost is handed over to patients to bear painfully.

So, if the pharmaceutical industry is so profitable, why don't most companies develop new drugs, but focus on the trick of replacing old drugs? In fact, although modern biomedical technology is developing rapidly, the cost of pre-development of a new drug is getting bigger and bigger, and the production of new drugs is becoming more and more difficult.

The research and development of new drugs is divided into research and development, clinical and trial, review and marketing, of which research and development is the most difficult of the three procedures, the research and development of new drugs, you can't randomly test whether chemicals can help treat a certain disease, that will take too long and energy, and it is also very dangerous. In fact, you must first understand the pathology of the disease you want to cure, which part of the body is wrong, and this process is usually very detailed and needs to reach the level of molecular structure.

Therefore, the study of a disease or physical condition is generally the starting point for drug development, and it can take a considerable amount of time and money, sometimes decades, sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars.

Of course, such a terrifying cost of drug research and development is not something that ordinary pharmaceutical companies can play, so although a new drug has huge profits, most companies can only be powerless and sigh with joy.

If the wind doesn't stop, it's true, Branston Global Biopharma doesn't have the strength to develop any new drugs, so his suggestion is old and standard, but he can't imagine that there will be a cube in the world, and he doesn't know the hole cards behind Luo Xu, of course, he can only say such a suggestion.

Luo Xu showed a hint of a smile, changed the direction of the ultrabook placed on the table, the screen kept facing the wind, pushed it in front of him, and said, "Look at this thing, does it have production value?" ”

Feng kept looking at Luo Xu suspiciously, and then looked down at the screen, only to see a large number of chemical equations and drug molecular structure diagrams, as well as countless explanatory materials.

"It's ......" the wind kept making a puzzled sound.

"Smack!" Luo Xu snapped his fingers and smiled: "This is a new type of ultra-long-acting basal insulin analogue, which has an action time of more than 52 hours, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?"

Taken aback by Luo Xu's words, Feng kept hurriedly checking the information on the screen, all of which were English terms that did not affect his reading and comprehension at all, and soon he turned through the entire page of information.

After reading it, he didn't speak for the first time, but frowned and thought about something. Luo Xu was also very patient, did not interrupt his thinking, slowly picked up the teacup and blew, gradually savoring the fragrance of the tea.

"Boss!" Feng kept stopping thinking and raised his eyes to look at Luo Xu: "The information in this still needs to be verified, but if there is really an effect in the data, then it must be produced." He keenly discovered the huge point of interest, the current insulin has not yet been able to achieve an action time of more than 52 hours, once this injection of insulin appears, then it will give diabetics the flexibility of taking medication for a long time is unmatched by other insulin drugs, and this insulin analogue also significantly reduces the risk of hypoglycemia throughout the day and at night, and successfully achieves a reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin (HBA) levels, The good news for patients is definitely a big leap forward.

And this means that there will be thousands of diabetics who will choose this drug, and you can understand the huge profits contained in it when you think of the incredible number of diabetics around the world.

"I will send the information to your mailbox later, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me, now your task is to verify the real surname of the information as soon as possible and produce a batch in a short time."

"Good!"

Feng kept talking briefly and apprehensively, nodded his head to show understanding, and stood up directly and hurried to the research center, completely ignoring Luo Xu's words.

Well, Feng Non Stop is such a strange person, if it were an ordinary person, it would inevitably be curious where this drug was obtained, but Feng Zhi No, he didn't have this idea in his mind at all, and he didn't have the slightest interest in exploring it, he only had doubts and strong interest in the real surname of this drug, and the rest were instantly left behind by him.

Luo Xu interestingly found that the person who does not stop Feng is somewhat similar to his own surname, that is, indifference and respect for life. On the one hand, he kills his enemies without mercy, and on the other hand, he maintains a certain sympathy for weak animals, and there are not many people with this surname in the world.

This kind of person is actually very scary, but for Luo Xu, the wind does not stop is the kind of person he is looking for, and it is also a kind of person who is relatively easy to control, because if you understand them, you will have the grasp to control them.

"Well, let's wait a minute."

With his legs crossed on the table, Luo Xu smiled and drank the tea in his cup in one gulp.
