After Wei Kang upgraded its portable monitor, it quickly turned its attention to the abandoned prescription library.

He hasn't extracted new medicines for a long time, and he should have accumulated a lot of discarded medicines now, just in time to extract all the valuable side effects.

Since he selects them intensively every time and extracts multiple new drugs at once, the frequency is not that high.

Unlike other industries, new drug research and development is very strict in marketing review. Even if multiple drugs are extracted, they still need to go through a long clinical trial process.

At most, we can take the fast track and shorten the time a bit, from several years to half a year or one year. This is already the fastest speed.

Some industries, such as electronic products, health care products, etc., do not require strict review. From the beginning of the project to the launch, it can be completed in one month.

Therefore, Wei Kang is not that eager to extract new drugs. Every time the new drugs on hand are almost on the market, he will think about continuing to extract them.

Fortunately, he has always had enough points. After a quick look, he already has tens of millions.

He didn't know what the specific use of so many points was, and he couldn't use them all, so he just saved them and put them there, hoping to use them in the future.

Wei Kang opened the discarded prescription library and carefully selected the side effects he was interested in.

The warehouse system has automatically marked all the side effects of the medicine, and it can be filtered very conveniently.

This workload is actually quite large, because each abandoned prescription must be roughly reviewed, and then classified into categories. After all, the system is not that smart, and sometimes the classification is not so accurate.

After looking at it, he soon discovered an interesting side effect.

"This is a prescription collected from Sakura Country. It was originally intended to develop a drug that could treat retinal atrophy. Unfortunately, the research and development failed, so it was stopped."

"This prescription has many side effects, such as eye pain, dry eyes, dizziness, etc. Hey, the last side effect is that it can quickly decompose the denatured protein of the eye lens, thereby restoring and maintaining the transparency of the lens."

"That's great. Lens protein denaturation is the main cause of cataracts. Extracting this side effect can be used to make a specific cataract drug."

Wei Kang couldn't help but get excited. The first drug was a rare drug for eye diseases. It was so rare.

Generally speaking, there are currently no specific symptomatic drugs for serious eye diseases, and can only be treated with surgery.

The eyes are a very sensitive and fragile part. The surgery is very complicated and dangerous, and the possibility of subsequent side effects is quite high. Most patients are very taboo about this kind of surgery. They are not willing to do it unless it is absolutely necessary and there is a risk of blindness.

After years of development, eye surgery technology continues to advance, and artificial organs and retinal transplants are very mature.

But firstly, the cost of surgery is high, and secondly, the risks are high.

A little carelessness may cause infection or even blindness.

Therefore, many people choose to wear glasses or take medicine for conservative treatment even though they know that it can be treated with surgery.

If there is a specific drug that can treat common eye diseases without surgery, it will undoubtedly be good news for the majority of patients.

It will definitely become popular all over the world and bring a lot of wealth to Weikang.

Cataracts are mainly caused by lens protein denaturation causing lens opacity. Light is interfered by the opaque lens and cannot be projected on the retina, resulting in blurred vision.

This disease is more common in people over 40 years old and has many causes, the most common of which is age.

Like Alzheimer's disease, it is also a disease whose incidence rate increases year by year as age increases. The incidence rate is 80% for people over 60 years old, and 95% of people over 70 years old have varying degrees of cataracts. Based on this estimate, the number of patients worldwide

It is estimated to be in the billions.

It is also the world's number one blinding eye disease and the main culprit causing blindness in patients. Half of the 40 million blind people in the world are cataract patients. There are approximately 1.25 million new cataract blind or visually impaired patients every year.

Currently, there is no specific drug treatment for cataracts, and the only treatment is surgery.

Although it is just a common minor surgery, for patients, if the same effect can be achieved, it will definitely be more convenient and safer to take medicine.

In short, this is a new drug with unlimited potential and a broad market, and is very valuable.

Wei Kang put it in the extraction group, marked it, and continued reading.

"This is an antibiotic used to treat respiratory infections, but it was not effective, so it was abandoned."

"Side effects include drowsiness, hyperacidity, diarrhea, vomiting, and electrolyte imbalance. Why are these side effects all related to the gastrointestinal aspect? Maybe we can change the treatment direction and make a stomach medicine."

"Wait a minute, it actually has a slight killing effect on Helicobacter pylori. This side effect is awesome."

"When extracted, it becomes a specific antibiotic against Helicobacter pylori."

"This is the only bacteria that can survive in the stomach. It is the main cause of gastric cancer. It is extremely stubborn, difficult to cure, and prone to recurrence. The current treatment method is triple or quadruple medication, which has very serious side effects and often makes patients miserable.

"

This drug is also very valuable and has great market potential. It will definitely sell well after it is launched.

He excitedly picked it out, put it aside, and then picked it up again.

In this way, after a series of screenings, he carefully selected several side effects, and it can be said that he received a lot of goods.

"A side effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm can be made into a cough medicine, which can just fill the gap in Sanqing's respiratory system drugs."

"A side effect that causes the body or part of the body to temporarily and reversibly lose consciousness and pain. It can be made into an anesthetic."

"A side effect that can inhibit pancreatic juice secretion and inhibit trypsin can be extracted to treat acute and chronic pancreatitis."

"A side effect that inhibits bone resorption and can be used to treat metabolic bone lesions such as osteoporosis."

"A side effect that can shut down the heat stress-activated gene ripk3 pathway, thereby effectively inhibiting programmed cell death. This side effect is simply amazing. It can be made into a heat stroke blocker, which can quickly block the effects of excessive body temperature.

Systemic cell death and multi-organ failure."

When Wei Kang saw this side effect, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Heat stroke is a fatal disease caused by sudden death caused by high temperature. If there is a quick-acting blocker that can be taken immediately after the onset of the disease, it will surely save many patients in the hot summer.

Those who are exposed to the sun in the summer and suffer from heat problems are the people at the bottom of the class. They have to risk their lives in order to survive. If we can save their lives as much as possible, it will be a truly immeasurable merit.

"Well, the priority of this drug needs to be adjusted to the highest level. When it passes the review and is put on the market, it will happen to be next summer."

Wei Kang nodded secretly, then looked at the last side effect.

Then, he suddenly froze.

"Well, this side effect can increase the cell activity of sperm and eggs. This is a fertility drug that can treat infertility."

Generally speaking, if you are unable to conceive, there is usually a problem with the reproductive cells of both partners.

Either there is a problem with the man's sperm cells, or there is a problem with the woman's egg cells, or there may even be problems with both parties.

In modern society, late marriage and late childbearing are becoming more and more popular, and the older you are, the greater the chance of problems with your reproductive cells.

Therefore, when older couples want to have children, the quality of their reproductive cells is a big problem. Usually the activity of sperm cells is low, making it very difficult to get pregnant.

Many people have been unable to get pregnant after various treatments, and finally had to undergo in vitro fertilization.

IVF costs a lot, causes a lot of pain to the woman, and has a low chance of success.

Some older couples want to have children but cannot have them, which triggers a series of family conflicts. Some even take desperate measures and resort to illegal behaviors.

In the past, when technology was not popular, there were still people who were deceived by the scam of asking for a child with a lot of money. Even in ancient times, there was a legend about Guanyin giving away a child.

After all, in traditional Chinese culture, the idea of ​​​​carrying on the family line is still very stubborn. Even if young people are open-minded, they cannot withstand the strong demands of their parents.

At present, the number of such patients is increasing, and the scale of the hospital's reproductive and infertility departments is expanding every year.

If a fertility drug is launched, it will not only make money, but also promote the happiness of the patient's family, and even comply with the current basic national policy of having more children.

It's a win-win for both public and private matters.

As he thought about it, his eyes couldn't help but shine.

At that moment, I couldn’t wait to extract it.

"The system extracts side effects and makes them into new drugs."

Soon, eight brand new prescriptions appeared in front of him.

Wei Kang looked at them one by one, nodded, and immediately put them away.

Next, it’s time to do preclinical research.

Preclinical research is mainly animal testing, based on which pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and toxicology studies are conducted.

The most important thing is to determine whether the drug has toxic or side effects, which is the key to determining the success or failure of a drug.

If there are any serious side effects, the drug will be considered useless.

Of course, the new drugs extracted by the system will definitely have no toxic or side effects, so you can rest assured about this step.

Therefore, the main focus is on pharmacological research to determine the interaction between drug molecules and the body, including drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion, etc., in order to determine the dosage.

When there are no problems with animal testing, you can apply for clinical trials and use it on humans.

With 8 drugs, the workload must be huge.

Wei Kang recalled the scene when he personally conducted animal testing, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, his family now has a large business and a lot of employees, so he can distribute the work. He only needs to wait for the results.

Soon, assistant Anmei distributed 8 new drugs to the employees in the R&D department.

They will be responsible for the next work, patent application, animal experiments, and subsequent clinical trial cooperation with cro.

Sanqing currently has quite a few new drug research and development projects, but if they are not produced systematically, it does take a little longer.

Even with the help of AI pharmaceutical systems, the screening efficiency of compounds has been greatly improved, but it is still often measured in years.

It's not like he is now, just gathering the wool of the system and having 8 new drugs in one fell swoop.

There is even an upgraded version of the portable universal monitor.

These results are enough for the company to develop for a period of time.

And Wei Kang was a little tired after so long of selection.

I glanced at the clock on the office wall and saw that it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, which was exactly the time to get off work.

He yawned, stretched again, got up and walked home.

"It's time to go home, there are people waiting at home."
Chapter completed!
