Chapter 748 Just Get Used to It

As Yang Xu said, when the news that Xingkong Technology was seeking cooperation with pharmaceutical companies was released, the people seeking cooperation did not need him to worry about it, and they came to the door by themselves.

Although it would not be as exaggerated as queuing up from the Institute of Computing Materials to the Institute of Physics, at least four or five calls a day would annoy Chen Yushan enough.

After calling Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan couldn't help complaining as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Are you planning to switch to selling health care products?"

Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou immediately guessed what she was talking about, so he smiled embarrassedly and said.

"...It's just that I got some by-products by chance in the experiment, and it feels quite interesting. I thought it would be a pity to waste it, so I might as well use it to benefit the public."

"...And then I was sacrificed by you?"

Lu Zhou: "Uh, I'm causing you trouble."

Chen Yushan said helplessly: "It's okay, this is my job, but remember to tell me in advance next time. I was busy with the aerospace technology project yesterday, and suddenly a phone call came, and I talked a lot, what's the matter?" I thought it was promoting health care products."

Lu Zhou sweated: "I will pay attention next time."

"Okay, it's all right. By the way, I asked someone to research the companies that I called, and listed the companies with more suitable qualifications on the form. I have sent them to your email just now. I'm free If so, I suggest you take the time to take a look."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou immediately opened his mailbox and found the report from his senior.

It has to be said that this report is very detailed. Not only the market value, main business, and operating status of each company, but also some inconvenient information and data are also listed on the table.

After careful selection, Lu Zhou finally chose Hengrui Pharmaceuticals as his partner.

As one of the few pharmaceutical companies in China that is willing to invest huge sums of money in the research and development of new drugs, the company is controlled by Hengrui Group, a local enterprise in Jiangsu Province. Also dabbled.

In fact, in addition to Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, there are many good foreign biopharmaceutical companies, which are also quite suitable partners, such as Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Roche, etc. within the world's top 100.

However, most of the research and development units of these companies are located overseas. With the lessons learned from the Sarot Laboratory, considering the possible risks in terms of policies, Lu Zhou cautiously ruled out these olive branches thrown from overseas.

As for why he chose Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, Lu Zhou mainly took a fancy to them for having their own R&D team. In the future, Jinling Institute for Advanced Study will gradually enter the field of biochemistry, and there are still many opportunities for future cooperation between the two parties.

The specific cooperation agreement is negotiated by a dedicated patent management team, and the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study is only responsible for sending the patented samples to the other party.

After waiting quietly for ten days, when Lu Zhou was so busy that he almost forgot about it, someone from Hengrui Pharmaceutical suddenly came...

"Hello, Professor Lu! I have heard of your name for a long time!"

In the office of Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, Lu Zhou met Professor Zhang Jiafu, the technical director of the New Drug R&D Department of Hengrui Pharmaceuticals. The reason why it is called a professor is that besides working in a company, this person also has a teaching position in Zhe University.

After seeing Lu Zhou, this Professor Zhang also stretched out his right hand from a long distance away, shaking Lu Zhou's hand vigorously, which made Lu Zhou very embarrassed.

"Hello, you are Professor Zhang, please sit down."

"You are too polite!"

After exchanging pleasantries, Professor Zhang sat down on the sofa.

The secretary in Lu Zhou's office came over with a pot of tea and poured tea for the two of them.

After taking a sip of the hot tea, Professor Zhang put down the teacup, without wasting any more time, and went straight to the point.

"To be honest, we are developing a diabetes treatment drug. After reading the samples and component analysis reports sent by you, we took it to the laboratory and tried it. The result..." Swallowing, he He continued with a complicated expression, "It's surprising how well the clinical trials have responded."

After three years of research and development, screening from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of compounds, and constantly trying to find effective ingredients by trial and error, they never expected that the answer they dreamed of was not screened from the countless mistakes, but rather He was given the lead by a biochemical research institute that was little-known in the field of medicine and even established less than a year ago.

This gap...

It's really hard to accept.

However, after hearing this sentence, the expression on Lu Zhou's face was even more shocked than him.

"This thing can cure diabetes???"

Hold the grass!

Is the Nobel Prize waving to him again?

However, after hearing Lu Zhou's words, Professor Zhang's expression was a little embarrassed, and he coughed lightly.

"...the treatment is of course impossible, and the Nobel Prize Committee would definitely consider you again if it were so miraculous. But although it cannot be treated, we found that this amino acid has a very high synergistic effect with insulin and insulin analogues, It can accelerate glycolysis and lower blood sugar concentration."

"Later, we conducted experiments on diabetic mice, and found that this amino acid can directly resist the damage of islet β cells, maintain its structural integrity and endocrine function, and can also effectively inhibit the streptozotocin-induced islet β-cell damage. Apoptosis."

After listening to Professor Zhang's words, Lu Zhou's expression gradually became serious.

He still knows streptozotocin, abbreviated as STZ, which is listed in the list of 2B carcinogens of the International Health Organization. However, the most terrifying thing about him is not that it causes cancer, but that it can induce a variety of organisms to produce diabetes, and it is also the culprit of many diabetic patients.

Professor Zhang said in a serious tone: "We plan to use this amino acid in the newly developed new drug. Can you tell us how you plan to name this special amino acid?"

"Name it?" Lu Zhou was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Can't we just use the number or chemical formula?"

Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you not figured out how to name it yet?"

Lu Zhou said with a subtle expression: "...This, I haven't thought about it carefully yet."

In the component analysis report, Xu Wenhao directly used the letter number to replace the name of this unknown amino acid, so Lu Zhoutu saved the trouble and simply replaced it with the letter number.

Professor Zhang reminded: "Generally speaking, if you really don't know how to name it, you can name it whatever you extracted from there. It is more convenient to have a name."

Upon hearing this sentence, Lu Zhou's expression became more subtle.

What's the matter?

What he extracts from cola can't be called cotyline, right?

Huh?

Wait... there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the name.

Lu Zhou opened his mouth and said, "Just call it cocine!"

"Correnic acid?" Professor Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Is there any allusion to this...?"

Lu Zhou: "There is no allusion...isn't it possible?"

Professor Zhang sweated, "It's not impossible."

Just listening to the name, the ghost knows what this thing is.

Lu Zhou smiled and said: "That's it, I think this name is good, so I will call it this."

Professor Zhang opened his mouth and wanted to persuade Lu Zhou to choose a more serious name, but seeing that he had no intention of changing his mind at all, he had no choice but to shake his head and give up.

After coming out of the office, Professor Zhang looked at the researcher who had brought him here before, and asked with a strange expression.

"Does your Professor Lu... have a special taste in naming names?"

He originally wanted to say weird, but felt that the word was a bit disrespectful, so he changed his mind.

Hearing Professor Zhang's words, the researcher walking beside him smiled shyly.

"……Used to it."

professor Zhang:"……"
