I can extract side effects

Holding a few king bombs in his hand, the next thing Wei Kang has to consider is the new direction of the company's business.

In terms of pharmaceuticals, the company's research and development capabilities are getting stronger and stronger. In addition to the drugs he extracted, the original research drugs developed by itself have already supported the sky.

Chronic nephritis drugs, asthma drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, and anti-inflammatory drugs, these four types of drugs have a long history. There are many types of drugs on the market, and they are all very mature and effective, not to mention cheap generic drugs.

Especially for long-term drugs like hypoglycemic drugs, the price is the primary factor for patients to consider, and at the same time they should be used according to their own specific conditions.

The drugs launched by Sanqing have better effects and fewer side effects, but in terms of curative effect, there is no big gap, so they can only be used as original research drugs to occupy a pit first and gradually grab the market.

It certainly cannot be as effective as anticancer drugs and AD specific drugs, and it will kill the Quartet.

"That's the only way to go. Breakthrough innovative drugs are not Chinese cabbage that can be found everywhere."

"Fortunately, we have made great achievements in medical equipment, especially in the area of ​​artificial organs. As long as the artificial heart can be produced, Sanqing will become the well-deserved king in the field of high-end consumables."

"In the future, there will be artificial livers, artificial kidneys, artificial lungs, artificial pancreas and so on. With the continuous accumulation of technologies, they can even completely monopolize this market."

Thinking of this, Wei Kang couldn't help but feel very proud and high-spirited.

Medical devices are divided into two categories: equipment and consumables.

Domestic manufacturers of equipment have seized the low-end market and are gradually encroaching on the high-end market. The state has also given various preferential policies to ensure the localization of medical equipment as much as possible.

Although CT, MRI, medical linear accelerators and other tens of millions of large-scale medical equipment have not yet been localized, major domestic manufacturers are eyeing this market and are gearing up and eager to try.

Sanqing is also making efforts in the field of high-end equipment. After Weikang plans to win the endoscope market, it will enter the MRI field and win the peak of domestic MRI.

The same is true for consumables, but the situation is even more severe.

Because not every hospital has tens of millions of large-scale equipment, nor does it need to be purchased every year.

However, the consumption of high-value consumables is very large, and it is growing at a high speed every year, and the market potential is huge.

Medical consumables are divided into high-value consumables, common consumables and test reagents.

Artificial organs, cardiac interventions, vascular interventions, neurology interventions, neurosurgery such as dura mater, orthopedic materials and instruments are all high-value consumables.

Two-thirds of high-value consumables are monopolized by international giants such as Medtronic, Johnson \u0026 Johnson, Bard, and St. Jude. Due to the high technical threshold, it is difficult for domestic manufacturers to catch up in a short time.

The track belonging to domestic equipment manufacturers has firmly occupied this market in common consumables, such as syringes, vacuum blood collection tubes, disposable anesthesia kits, etc., with high cost performance.

As for testing reagents, the concentration of the entire industry is relatively high. Well-known brands such as Roche, Siemens, Abbott, and Johnson \u0026 Johnson occupy 60% of the in vitro diagnostic market, with obvious monopoly advantages.

In this regard, domestic manufacturers can only say that there is still a lot of room for improvement.

In fact, in the entire domestic medical device industry, 80% of listed companies are engaged in diagnostic products, conventional medical consumables and medical devices.

There are very few manufacturers of therapeutic products, medical equipment, and innovative medical devices.

Because of the high usage rate of diagnostic products, it can create better economic benefits for hospitals.

Relatively speaking, therapeutic products have higher clinical requirements and low utilization rates. In case of medical accidents, hospitals will often stop using them. Therefore, it is difficult to expand, with high risks and high technical thresholds, which makes manufacturers reluctant to invest in this area.

Sanqing is currently making efforts in diagnostic products and has performed well.

However, Wei Kang's ambition is even greater, and he still wants to move towards a higher place.

Nano-robots, artificial organs, MRI equipment, and surgical robots are divided into four categories: therapeutic products, high-value consumables, medical equipment, and innovative devices. They are also the future development direction of Sanqing in the field of medical devices.

He will take down these four most dazzling pearls one by one.

Of course, we are still a bit far from the goal now, and we can only do it step by step.

Nanolab already has a product called nanopills, and the next goal is to develop this targeted drug delivery technology and apply it to the treatment of other diseases.

On this basis, create nano-robots with DNA molecules and protein molecular structures.

"Besides antibiotics, which disease can nanotechnology be applied to?"

"By the way, I remembered that there is a disease that is definitely suitable for nanotechnology. If it can be successfully entered into the clinic, it will benefit hundreds of millions of patients."

Wei Kang suddenly had an idea in his heart, and an excellent target suitable for nano-pills appeared.

"Orally taking insulin, wrapping insulin molecules in nanoparticles, entering the blood through the intestinal wall, and gathering in the liver can achieve the same effect as insulin injection, even better and more convenient."

"In this way, not only can hundreds of millions of diabetic patients be saved, but also a lot of money can be made, and there is no need to worry about points."

Insulin is a small molecular protein, a small molecule protein containing 51 amino acids

Insulin is a hormone that helps the body control the amount of glucose in the blood.

In healthy people, beta cells in the pancreas secrete insulin when glucose levels in the blood rise.

Insulin's main target is the liver, where it removes glucose from the blood and converts it to glycogen or fat.

In type 1 diabetes, the body doesn't produce enough insulin, and in type 2 diabetes, the cells become immune to insulin, so blood sugar levels need to be monitored and insulin therapy administered at the same time.

For decades, drug companies have been unable to produce an effective oral formulation of insulin, despite their best attempts.

Because in the digestive tract, part of the insulin will be decomposed by the digestive enzymes in the human body, and the remaining insulin will come to the intestinal tract, and the intestinal wall is also an impenetrable barrier for them.

So diabetics can only inject insulin very painfully every day.

However, insulin injection also has some complications, some of which are very serious and threaten the patient's life.

Because even if a drug is effective for the patient, it is very difficult to deliver it to the correct location.

In fact, most side effects of any drug are caused by the drug spreading to places where they are not needed.

Since most insulin agents do not reach the liver, patients treated with insulin experience many adverse effects, including weight gain, microvascular disease, renal failure, cardiovascular complications, blindness, and even amputation.

In this case, if there is an oral insulin drug that can quickly and effectively pass through the intestinal wall, pass through the blood to the liver, and then release insulin molecules, it will perfectly solve this world problem.

There are 500 million diabetes patients in the world, and it is still growing rapidly every year. There are 130 million patients in China alone, which seems to have become the biggest disease of wealth that plagues modern people.

"Compared with the current injection insulin, oral insulin is a dimension reduction blow in terms of convenience and comfort, not to mention the biggest advantage of better drug efficacy and fewer complications."

"500 million people, if they can all use oral insulin, how many points will it be?"

The more Wei Kang thought about it, the more excited he became. There seemed to be a gleaming mountain in front of his eyes, which was made up of points and could empty the entire equipment store.

Almost instantly, he immediately made a decision.

"The project will be established in the next year. With the accumulation of nano-pill technology, oral insulin is still very promising. When it comes out, it will become the ace drug next to anti-cancer drugs and AD specific drugs. Even genetic drugs have to be ranked. in the back."

But then, he was a little worried. He felt that the scientific research strength of the nano-lab was a little weak, and he wondered if he could deal with such a problem.

"This belongs to Sanqing's self-research project. I wonder if the Nano Lab can handle it?"

"I remember that the person in charge of the nano-pill project is Xue Shen, who is also a postdoctoral fellow in the field of nano-research. He has rich scientific research experience, so it should work."

"Well, give him some time first, and trust your own researchers."

"Sanqing has always spared no effort in cultivating talents. As long as you are truly capable, you will definitely be able to stand out. This has been verified by many people."

"Wen Renlong, Chen Yiqing, Tang Que, Gu Xian, Lu Tingfeng, Sheng Changya, none of these people have let me down, and I believe he won't either."

His consistent principle is to cultivate his own talents, even geniuses.

Only in this way can we establish a complete set of talent training and promotion system, so as to have a complete talent sequence, and we must not think of poaching outside as soon as we encounter difficulties.

"In addition to nanotechnology, we still need to recruit people to build an artificial organ laboratory."

After Wei Kang considered everything properly, he assigned the projects one by one.

Sanqing currently adopts a flat management model. In addition to its own laboratory, each project can also recruit project personnel from other departments or laboratories.

As long as the project needs it, the genetic medicine project can also have mechanical engineers and even programmers.

Of course, he won't be so detailed, he just needs to designate a few technical backbones and project leaders, and give them permission.

The rest is handed over to the project leader, who only needs to test the results.

This is the joy of being a boss.

The days that followed passed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Spring Festival.

On New Year's Eve, Wei Kang took the father-in-law's family to Sanqing Garden, and the New Year was lively and lively.

After dinner in the evening, the four of them sat together on the big sofa in the living room, watching the Spring Festival Gala, laughing and laughing.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Wei Kang couldn't help turning his mouth up, feeling the sweet smell of candy floating in the air.

This smell is very familiar, like the taste of the year in childhood memories.

However, something seems to be missing.

He looked up at the ceiling, lost in memory, thought for a while, and finally realized.

It also lacks the sound of children running around, making noise and laughing.

Looking at Jian Lianyun who was snuggling beside him, he couldn't help leaning into his ear, and whispered, "Do you feel that something is missing?"

Jian Lianyun said with a confused face: "Ah, is there something missing? Let's make do with it, the store won't open until a few days later."

Wei Kang whispered: "Your parents will go back in two days. Such a big house always feels less popular, especially during the Chinese New Year, it should be more lively."

Jian Lianyun looked at him confusedly: "What are you thinking?"

Wei Kang chuckled: "I was thinking, if there are a few children, the Chinese New Year will be lively. Let's work hard to make the Chinese New Year lively next year, okay?"

Jian Lianyun's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "How many more do you want?"

Suddenly, Jian Guohua's cheerful voice came from the side: "I would like to have more children, I have long wanted to hug my grandson."

Jian Lianyun covered her face, ashamed and annoyed: "Dad, you actually overheard us."

It turned out that the sound of the TV had been turned off a long time ago, and the whispering between the two of them was heard clearly.

Wei Kang turned his head and looked at the father-in-law, both of them burst into laughter at the same time.
