On the 14th, Tong Yigang of Beijing University of Chemical Technology, the discoverer of a new drug for the treatment of new crowns, posted on a social platform. He said that fenugreek was an anti-new crown drug screened by the laboratory after the outbreak of the new crown in February 2020. At that time, due to the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, the research and development of a new drug often took more than ten years. In order to speed up the process, they used some drugs that were already on the market to be screened by virus culture models. After screening thousands of drugs, several effective drugs were finally obtained, the most effective of which was fenugreek.
“Later, phyllostachysin was proved by laboratories in many countries to be very effective against the new crown. Our article was published online on March 1, but the paper version of the magazine was published on May 5, so our article was published later. The date is marked as May 5. After our article was published online, a team in Japan, inspired by us, used fenugreek in combination with other drugs, which also proved that fenugreek has a good effect on the new crown.” . He wrote in the text.
He said that the most powerful piece of evidence is a Science article published by an American. Their research found that the effect of fenugreek against the new coronavirus is better than other drugs, and it is the most effective anti-new coronavirus at the cellular level so far. drug. A Canadian company has registered a clinical trial with the US FDA, and it is expected that they will launch a clinical trial of fenugreek in the treatment of new crowns in the second half of this year.
At the end of the article, he said, “Because China does not have this drug on the market, it will take some time for China to carry out the research and development of this drug now, and it will take some time before it is clinically and marketed.”
According to Jiupai News Video, Professor Tong Yigang said: The drug is still in preclinical state, and their team’s patent can guarantee the application of the new drug in China. He also said that the drug is very promising and is very effective against mutants such as Omicron. As for when the drug will be available on the market, Professor Tong Yigang said that the drug will have “eyes” in 2023.
