Just like Yang Xu said, after the news that Star Sky Technology was looking for a pharmaceutical company to cooperate with was released, he didn't have to worry about the people who wanted to cooperate with him.
Even though it wasn't as long as the line from the Institute of Computational Materials to the Institute of Physics, there were at least four or five calls a day, which annoyed Chen Yushan.
Chen Yushan called Lu Zhou and couldn't help but complain.
"Are you planning on selling health products?"
Lu Zhou immediately knew what she was talking about, so he awkwardly smiled and spoke.
"… I happened to get some by-products during the experiment, and I thought it was quite interesting. I thought it would be a waste to waste them, so I decided to use them for the public. "
"… And then you just sacrificed me?"
Lu Zhou: "Oh, sorry for the trouble."
Chen Yushan said, "It's fine, this is my job, but next time, remember to tell me in advance. I was busy with the aerospace science and technology project yesterday. Suddenly, a call came in and said a lot of things. I thought it was a health care product promotion. "
Lu Zhou said, "I'll be careful next time."
"Okay, it's fine. By the way, I've asked someone to study the companies that called and listed the most suitable companies on the form. I've just sent it to your email. If you have time, I suggest you take a look at it. "
"Okay, I'll go take a look."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou immediately opened his email and found Chen Yushan's report.
Needless to say, this report was very detailed. Not only was the market value, main business, and operating status of each company listed on the table, even some information and data that were not easy to find were listed on the table.
After some careful selection, Lu Zhou finally chose Hengrui Pharmaceuticals as his partner.
This was one of the few pharmaceutical companies in China that was willing to invest heavily in new drug research and development. The company was controlled by Hengrui Group, a local company in Jiangsu. This company had the largest anti-tumor drug research and development and production base in China, as well as research and development of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer drugs.
In fact, other than Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, there were many other foreign biopharmaceutical companies that were also suitable partners. For example, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Roche were among the top 100 companies in the world.
However, most of the R&D units of these companies were located overseas. Lu Zhou had learned from Sarrot's laboratory, and he considered the possible risks from the policy. Therefore, he carefully ruled out these overseas companies.
As for why Lu Zhou chose Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, it was mainly because they had their own research team. In the future, the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study would gradually enter the field of biochemistry, and there would be many opportunities for both parties to cooperate in the future.
The specific cooperation agreement was negotiated by a special patent management team. The Jinling Institute for Advanced Study was only responsible for sending the registered patent samples to the other party.
After waiting quietly for more than ten days, just when Lu Zhou was so busy that he almost forgot about this matter, someone from Hengrui Pharmaceuticals suddenly came …
"Hello, Professor Lu! I've heard a lot about you! "
In his office at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, Lu Zhou met with Professor Zhang Jiafu, the technical director of Hengrui Pharmaceuticals' new drug research and development department. The reason why he was called a professor was because in addition to working in a company, he also had a teaching position at the University of Zhi.
After Professor Zhang saw Lu Zhou, he reached out his right hand and shook Lu Zhou's hand. This made Lu Zhou feel a little embarrassed.
"Hello, you must be Professor Zhang, right? Please take a seat."
"You're too kind!"
After some small talk, Professor Zhang sat down on the sofa.
Lu Zhou's secretary walked over with a pot of tea and poured tea for the two of them.
Professor Zhang took a sip of the hot tea and put down the teacup. He didn't want to waste any more time.
"Honestly speaking, we're developing a diabetes treatment drug. After looking at the sample and ingredient analysis report you sent over, we took it to the laboratory and tested it. The results …" He gulped and said, "The clinical test results are surprisingly good."
After three years of research and development, they screened tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of compounds. They constantly tried and tried to find the effective ingredients. However, they didn't expect that the answer they were looking for wasn't from countless mistakes. Instead, it was from a biochemistry institute that was established less than a year ago.
This kind of difference …
It was a little hard to accept.
However, after hearing this, the expression on Lu Zhou's face was even more shocked than Professor Zhang.
"This thing can cure diabetes???"
F * ck!
The Nobel Prize is waving at me again?
However, after hearing Lu Zhou's words, Professor Zhang's expression was a little awkward. He coughed and spoke.
He coughed and said, "… Of course it's impossible to cure diabetes. If it really was that amazing, the Nobel Prize Committee would definitely consider you again. However, even though it can't be treated, we found that this amino acid has a very high synergistic effect with insulin and insulin analogues. It can accelerate glycolysis and reduce blood sugar concentration.
"Later, we conducted experiments on diabetic mice and discovered that this amino acid can directly resist the damage of islet beta cells, maintain their structural integrity and endocrine function, and at the same time, it can effectively inhibit the islet beta cell apoptosis induced by streptozotocin."
After hearing Professor Zhang's words, Lu Zhou's expression gradually became serious.
He knew about streptozotocin, abbreviated as STZ, which was listed on the International Health Organization's 2B list of carcinogens. However, the scariest thing about it wasn't that it caused cancer, but that it could induce diabetes in a variety of organisms. It was also the culprit of many diabetes patients.
Professor Zhang said in a serious tone, "We plan on using this amino acid in the latest research and development of a new drug. Can you tell us what you plan on naming this special amino acid?"
"Name?" Lu Zhou paused for a second and said, "Can't we just use a number or a chemical formula?"
Professor Zhang paused for a second and asked, "You haven't thought about it yet?"
Lu Zhou said, "… I haven't thought about it yet."
In the composition analysis report, Xu Wenhao used a letter number to name the unknown amino acid. Therefore, Lu Zhou just used a letter number to save time.
Professor Zhang said, "Normally, if you really don't know what to name it, you can just name it whatever you extracted from it. It's more convenient to have a name."
When Lu Zhou heard this, his expression became even more complicated.
What do I do?
I extracted it from coke, I can't just call it cogonine, right?
Huh?
Wait a minute … This name doesn't seem bad.
Lu Zhou said, "Let's call it cogonine!"
"Cogonine?" Professor Zhang paused for a second and said, "Is there … a story behind this?"
Lu Zhou, "No story … Is it okay?"
Professor Zhang said, "It's not impossible."
But just from the name alone, who knows what this thing is.
Lu Zhou smiled and said, "Okay then, I think this name is good, let's call it that."
Professor Zhang opened his mouth and wanted to persuade Lu Zhou to give it a proper name. However, he saw that Lu Zhou had no intention of changing his mind, so Professor Zhang shook his head and gave up.
After Professor Zhang came out of the office, he looked at the researcher who brought him here and spoke with a strange expression.
"Don't you think Professor Lu has a special taste in naming?"
He originally wanted to say that it was weird, but he felt like it was a bit disrespectful, so he changed his words.
When the researcher next to Professor Zhang heard this, he smiled shyly.
"… You'll get used to it."
Professor Zhang: "…"
