Tu Youyou has been engaged in the research of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine for many years, and his outstanding contribution is to create new antimalarial drugs artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin. A colorless crystal with the molecular formula of C 15H22O5 was successfully extracted from 1972 and named artemisinin.
20 1 1 In September, artemisinin, a drug used to treat malaria, saved millions of lives around the world, especially in developing countries, and won the Lasker Prize and the "Outstanding Achievement Award in Life Science" of GlaxoSmithKline China R&D Center.
Extended data:
1972, Tu Youyou and her colleagues extracted a colorless crystal from Artemisia annua with the molecular formula of C15h2O5, which is an effective component with a melting point of 156℃ ~ 157℃. They named this colorless crystal as artemisinin.
Artemisinin is a new antimalarial drug, which has the advantages of "high efficiency, quick response and low toxicity" and has special effects on all kinds of malaria, especially drug-resistant malaria. 1986, "artemisinin" obtained a new drug certificate (86 Wei Yao Zheng Zi X-0 1). 1979 won the "National Invention Award".
20 15,10/0/0. On 5 October, Caroline Medical College of Sweden announced in Stockholm that Tu Youyou, william campbell and Satoshi Omura, female pharmacists from China and chief researchers of Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, had won the 20 15 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
This is the first time that a scientist from China has won the Nobel Prize for his scientific research in China, and it is also the highest prize won by China medical community so far. The reason is that she discovered artemisinin, which can effectively reduce the mortality rate of malaria patients.
