A hundred years of magnificent history, there are other worlds to change the world

Through the introduction, digestion and absorption, the national pharmaceutical industry has made great progress in terms of technology, varieties, dosage forms, quality and scale, coupled with the acceleration of the GMP promotion process, the popularization of new business concepts, the industrial scale has basically doubled every 5 years, and the whole industry has taken on a new look.

Chinese medicine needs the world, and world medicine also needs China.

In 1983, the "Vitamin C two-step fermentation production process" independently developed by the Institute of Microbiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing Pharmaceutical Factory was transferred to Roche of Switzerland at a price of 5.5 million US dollars, achieving a breakthrough of "zero" technology export.

The first epoch-making product that became a global blockbuster was artemisinin.

In October 1981, at the International Artemisinin Conference held in Beijing sponsored by the World Health Organization, Tu Youyou made a report on the Chemical Research of artemisinin as the chief spokesperson, which was highly praised, saying that "the discovery of artemisinin not only adds a new antimalarial drug, but also has a more important significance in discovering the unique chemical structure of this new compound." It will point the way to the synthetic design of new drugs."

In 1992, in response to the shortcomings of artemisinin such as high cost and difficulty in curing malaria, Professor Tu Youyou's team invented dihydroartemisinin, an "upgraded version" with 10 times the anti-malaria effect of the former.

This drug is praised by the international medical community as the "killer" of drug-resistant malaria, and it is a drug that China has independent intellectual property rights and truly goes to the world.

In October 2015, the Karolinska Institute of Medicine of Sweden announced in Stockholm that Tu Youyou, a Chinese female pharmacologist and chief researcher of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

The spring breeze of reform is invigorated, and the open door inspires innovation. By 1995, the national production of chemical raw materials had reached 330,000 tons, and bulk chemicals such as antibiotics and vitamins had become the main force in the international market supply, and China's modern pharmaceutical industry had finally taken a place in the world.
