Chapter 295: Searching for Disused Prescriptions(2/2)
Especially in the past ten years, Eisai has invested huge amounts of research and development funds, but has achieved little results. Due to lack of innovation, the problem of patent cliff cannot be solved, and the company is currently in trouble.
Its biggest hit, donepezil, is an AD drug whose main function is to improve the cognitive ability of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
This undoubtedly collides with Sanqing's special AD medicine.
Almost instantly, Eisai's flagship drug became unpopular and sales plummeted.
This is no longer a problem of patent cliff, but a complete dead end.
This medicine is completely useless.
This undoubtedly gave Eisai the final blow, and the company went downhill from then on.
As CEO, Okada Murao has racked his brains in the past two years, relying on the domestic market to barely survive.
Although a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, the company's revenue has dropped from the previous US$6 billion to US$2 billion.
Bad news is coming one after another. Several new drug projects have been abandoned. Money has been spent, but there is no profit at all. It is already beyond the means.
If it cannot find new performance points, sooner or later the company will become an ordinary generic pharmaceutical company and embark on the path of losing money and going bankrupt.
His face turned yellow, his expression was haggard, and he looked at the work report in front of him with a frown.
As he watched, veins popped up on his forehead, his eyes were red, his eyes were full of anger, and he gritted his teeth.
"Damn Sanqing, it's their news again!"
"Ba Ge, there is news that it has reached cooperation with major pharmaceutical companies. It's really damning."
"It's all the fault of the Chinese, who took away the market for Eisai's Alzheimer's drugs and put us in this situation."
Mr. Okada was filled with hatred, but he had no choice but to rage and bang the table.
"I hate it so much. Why didn't Eisai develop these drugs, anti-cancer drugs, and AD specific drugs? They should all belong to the Yamato nation."
While cursing the Sanqing Group, he flipped through the work report.
Suddenly, he stopped, his eyes widened, staring at the paper in front of him.
For a long time, he gasped suddenly and violently, looking very excited, as if he had discovered something incredible.
"Fake, I didn't realize until today that this Wei Kang is good at improving discarded medicines."
"Sanqing Group has been searching for all kinds of discarded prescriptions. They must have ulterior motives and other uses. It is impossible to buy them back without any use at all."
"Could it be that their medicines are all based on discarded medicines and have been improved before they are revived and successful?"
"In other words, many medicines have actually been successfully developed, but no one has discovered those new treatment directions."
"Ba Ge, why didn't I think of this?"
"Perhaps we can also try to find new treatment directions from abandoned prescriptions?"
"This is undoubtedly much easier and less troublesome than developing innovative drugs from scratch."
"Is this the secret of Sanqing Group's success?"
"It's mine now!"
