Chapter 604: Medicine worth hundreds of billions

Zhou Yang stood there for more than ten minutes before coming back to his senses at Liu Yunlong's reminder.

After that, he did not stop in District 1, but took the specialties from his hometown that Lu Zhengjun brought him and walked towards the village.

Lu Zhengjun also said just now that the food inside is all for food, so it is better to send it home to his wife and daughter to try.

But on the way, he kept thinking about the Scythe Project.

It’s not that Zhou Yang doesn’t have the explosive medicine that Yan Gengdong needs, but he doesn’t know which one is better to choose.

In fact, as a medicinal chemist, Zhou Yang participated in the development of more than ten kinds of drugs in his previous life.

There are no less than a hundred types of drugs that have been copied, including many popular drugs from major foreign companies.

He thought carefully and felt that there were three drugs that met Yan Gengdong's needs, namely Lipitor, Humira and Xiaolan Tablets!

Lipitor is an atorvastatin drug. Common drugs on the market, such as atorvastatin, pitavastatin, etc., are all drugs of this type.

This drug was obtained by Japanese scholars in the 1970s by culturing Monascus to obtain lovastatin, thus opening the chapter of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors. Because of its superior lipid-lowering effect and minimal adverse reactions, statins quickly became a hot topic in research.

Since the FDA approved lovastatin in 1987, it has successively approved simvastatin, pitavastatin and fluvastatin, and atorvastatin is already the fifth HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor approved by the FDA.

Lipitor was approved in December 1996 and launched in early 1997. Sales peaked in 2006 at US$13.83 billion. Lipitor has generated a cumulative revenue of US$152.3 billion for Pfizer behind it.

The second drug Zhou Yang is optimistic about is Humira, or adalimumab.

This is a TNF inhibitor, mainly suitable for immune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, and psoriasis.

Because of its good efficacy and minimal adverse reactions, adalimumab quickly sparked demand for the treatment of immune diseases and became the gold standard in many treatment fields.

Adalimumab is a wonder, an all-around player, and a drug king that can only be encountered but cannot be sought.

Since Humira was launched in 2003, its cumulative sales have reached US$115.9 billion in less than 20 years. Sales of this drug have not yet reached their peak and will increase further in the future.

Conservative estimates suggest that Humira’s cumulative sales may approach or reach US$200 billion.

The third type is the famous Viagra, which is also a blockbuster drug from Pfizer and was launched in 1998.

The birth of Viagra was also an accident - its active ingredient, sildenafil, was originally designed to treat cardiovascular diseases and relieve high blood pressure and angina pectoris.

However, because sildenafil's effect on cardiovascular dilation was not obvious, Pfizer had planned to abandon this drug. However, during the clinical trial phase in the 1990s, interesting side effects were unexpectedly discovered in male test subjects.

Researchers found that clinical trial participants were unwilling to hand over the rest of the trial drug after receiving it.

The nurses further discovered that many male subjects were lying on their stomachs when being examined by nurses. An attentive nurse reported this, saying that the men were embarrassed by their erections.

It turns out that sildenafil releases nitric oxide and dilates blood vessels, but it is more effective at another part of the body.

On March 27, 1998, the FDA approved Viagra for sale, and the first oral impotence drug became famous.

After Little Blue Tablets was launched, it quickly became the fastest-growing prescription drug in sales. In April 1998 alone, more than 200,000 doctors wrote more than 7 million prescriptions for 3 million patients, involving as many as 50 million tablets of Viagra.

By the end of 1998, Viagra had been launched in 40 countries, and Pfizer's revenue that year reached 23.2 billion US dollars.

For more than 20 years, Viagra has been a stable source of revenue for Pfizer.

To be honest, these three drugs all meet the needs of Yan Gengdong and the Scythe Project, but which one to choose is worth weighing carefully.

After all, each of these drugs is worth tens or hundreds of billions of dollars, and just one can turn a company into a unicorn instantly.

If they were to take it all out at once, not only would it not be a good thing for the small company controlled by Yan Gengdong, but there would also be certain risks for Zhou Yang himself.

Therefore, although things will be taken out one by one in the end, it is not a one-time study, but a steady process.

Just as they were thinking about it, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of Zhou's house!

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Yang saw Li Youwei standing on the kang and walking around, with the little baby in his arms humming.

On the ground, the mother-in-law is the same.

Obviously, these two little brats were making trouble again.

Seeing Zhou Yang walking in with a big bag, Li Youwei immediately asked: "Why are you back at noon? Have you eaten yet?"

"Have you eaten? Have you and your mother eaten?"

"Not yet, these two little guys are so noisy, they cry when they are put down, and they won't let my mother and I cook at all!" Li Youwei said helplessly.

"Then I'll cook for you now!" Zhou Yang said.

At this time, the mother-in-law said immediately: "Xiao Yang, you can't make a woman's confinement meal. You hold the baby, and I will do it!"

"OK!"

At that moment, Zhou Yang took the child from his mother-in-law.

The little guy was half asleep and half awake. Maybe his father's arms were not as comfortable as his grandma's. After Zhou Yang brought him over, the corners of the little guy's mouth twitched and he started to hum quickly.

Zhou Yang immediately patted her back gently, and the little girl calmed down.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the little guy has become heavier and looks better.

After a while, Zhou Yang finally coaxed the little guy to sleep, then carefully took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the edge of the kang.

"Money again?" Li Youwei asked in surprise.

A few days ago, Zhou Yang secretly gave her an envelope containing a thousand yuan, which really shocked her.

Unexpectedly, only a few days later, I saw the same style of envelope again.

"Well, it contains my salary, and part of it belongs to Wen Hui!" Zhou Yang said.

"Wen Hui?"

"Well, Lao Yan sent all his salary to me!"

"Yeah, send it all to us, what will Brother Yan spend on it?"

Although Li Youwei knew that Yan Gengdong had gone back, she didn't know exactly what he was going to do there, let alone that Yan Gengdong had gone to Hong Kong Island.

"Don't worry about him. His daily expenses are taken care of by the state, so his salary won't be used!" Zhou Yang said.

"Oh, then let's save his salary for Wen Hui!"

"I have the same idea, and we don't need it at home!" Zhou Yang said.

"Okay! Then when you have time, let's take Wen Hui to the credit union!" Li Youwei said.

"OK!"

"By the way, what's in that bag? Why does it smell so good to me?" Li Youwei sniffed and asked.

Only then did Zhou Yang remember the things he had brought back, and immediately said: "Lao Lu just came and brought some specialties from the capital!"

With that said, Zhou Yang gently put his son on the kang, then took the cloth bag over and took out the contents one by one.

Beijing roast duck, Dongzhimen dim sum, hemp flowers, bean paste sesame cakes... Oh my god, there are more than a dozen kinds!

Although each type only comes in a small package, they are quite valuable.

Li Youwei's eyes narrowed when she saw these delicious foods.

She is greedy for everything during confinement, but my mother is very strict about it. She is not allowed to eat this and not allowed to eat that. Basically, she eats brown sugar porridge and boiled eggs every day. After half a month, she feels that she is tired of eating it.

.

Seeing that there was meat, it was the fragrant roast duck that he had eaten before. He immediately made a silent gesture to Zhou Yang, then freed his hand to tear off a duck leg and started to chew on it.

Zhou Yang didn't expect that his usually steady wife would be like this, and he couldn't help laughing.

While she was smiling, her mother-in-law suddenly walked in from the main room. When she saw the big duck leg in her daughter's hand, she immediately said, "You are so old, and you are eating it secretly again!"

Zhou Yang immediately smiled and said: "Mom, don't talk about her. It's not that you can't eat meat during confinement, just don't eat too much!"

"You, just spoil her..."

Just as he was talking, there was a sudden roar of cars outside the door, and then he saw a jeep parked outside the door.

Then, the car door opened, and Fan Derbiao hurriedly got out of the car!

He kicked open the wooden fence door of Zhou Yang's house and ran in with a solemn expression.

ps: Raise your hands if you think that medicine is suitable and if you like Little Blue Tablets!

After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.

Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.

Where is this?

Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.

A single dorm?

Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.

And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?

With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.

The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.

But the problem is, this is not him!

My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.

And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...

This change left Shi Yu stunned for a long time.

Don't tell him that the operation was successful...

My body and appearance have all changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.

He turned into a completely different person!

Could it be...that he traveled through time?

In addition to the mirror placed beside the bed, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.

Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.

"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"

"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"

"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"

Shi Yu:???

The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?

"cough."

Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.

Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.

Icefield City.

Pet animal breeding base.

Intern pet breeder. Provide you with the rebirth of the master Dashang Yue 1975: tearing up the return to the city transfer order at the beginning
