Medical Return

34. Multinational pharmaceutical companies, Haines (3)

Amy's white face slightly reddened. She said, biting her red lips.

“I'm sorry about the test. So, Mr. Kim, can you guess why TC80 is having an adverse reaction? ”

Of course I knew.

TC80 was the cause of the abandonment.

Jinhyun unfolded the part of the report that represents the molecular formula. and pointed to the end.

“Because of this place. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“Does Miss Amy know what this part does? ”

Amy frowns.

“I'm in charge of this project. Of course I do. That's a key part of 5HT7. ”

But Jinhyun shook his head.

“I was only half right. ”

“What?”

“This part has a strong bond to 5HT7. So it's expected to be more potent than other existing drugs. ”

“I see.”

“But these structures can work on other receptors, not on 5HT7. There is a high probability of an adverse event occurring due to the inadvertent stimulation of other receptors. ”

“ ……! ”

At the end of the day, Amy had a horrible look on her face.

‘How do you know that? ’

What Jinhyun said was consistent with what the experts at Haines had analyzed.

In fact, Hayes believes the site is causing problems with other receptors.

By the way, what do the best pharmacologists in biology know by incorporating a hybrid?

"No way. You just threw the wheel, didn't you? ’

Amy asked to see if Jinhyun really knew what she was saying.

“What receptor do you think it's going to work on, exactly? ”

“We don't know the exact receptor at this stage. However, given the clinical presentation, it is likely to be another 5HT, 5HT4. ”

“ ……! ”

Amy opens her mouth. This also matched Haines' analysis!

“How...? It's not only possible to see the numerical formula... ”

“It was assumed from previous failed medications. because there were drugs that acted on 5HT4 and caused adverse reactions.

But Amy couldn't help but be surprised.

It's not easy, it's impossible to draw a similarity between molecular formulas and a few examples, unless it's at the expense of the relevant field.

Jean, who was listening to the conversation next to him, asked in white.

“It's Jin Hyun-gun, too. Great! What can we do to avoid further adverse reactions in the future? ”

Jean believed that Jinhyun would come up with a magical solution.

Amy forgot what she had initially ignored and waited for her answer.

However, Jinhyun merely scrambled the dishes and rarely answered.

“But why? I'll take a breath while you wait. If you have a good idea, tell me quickly. ”

Jean urged with an urgent face.

Eventually, Jinhyun slowly opened his mouth to them.

“Nothing.”

“Huh?”

“In the first place, the design itself is the wrong molecular formula. At this time, you cannot avoid adverse reactions by any means and expect an improvement in depression symptoms. ”

“ ……! ”

Jean's face turned white.

Jinhyun's words were like the death penalty.

“Well, that's..... I can't..... ”

Jean stuttered. His hands, holding the teacup, trembled.

Amy nods as if she agrees.

‘It's the same opinion that Hayes' experts put forward in their analysis. Yeah, TC80 can't save anything. ’

She was also fooled by the first project, but the answer was to dispose of the problematic new drug development as soon as possible.

‘But this knowledge and insight. It's amazing.'

She saw Jinhyun rather highly proposing the disposal of the project without saying anything blurry.

Did you say "medical student"? I don't know what kind of doctor I'll be in the future, but it won't be bad knowing. ’

Haines conducts many research projects with Korean medicine.

If you already have this level of skill, you will become a good collaborator in the future.

Jean asked again in a trembling voice.

“Can't you really... really... save the project? If this project is discarded… our Mine Bio……. ”

“Nothing.”

“Ah……. ”

Jean made a desperate look.

At that time, Jinhyun said something unexpected.

“However, we have to dispose of the project, but there is no way to save TC80. ”

“ ……?! ”

At the end of the day, Jean and Amy's eyes grew.

What are you talking about? You think there's a way to get rid of the project and save TC80?

“What does that mean? ”

“As you say. ”

“You already saved the wrong TC80 from the rescue? It's impossible.”

Amy shakes her head like it's bullshit.

Jinhyun asked.

“What if we could actually save TC80? ”

“Ha! If we can do that, our Hayes will pay Mr. Kim a billion dollars. ”

“Are you sure about that? Can I trust you to pay a billion dollars? ”

In that firm voice, Amy looked into Jinhyun's eyes and was surprised.

The Eastern youth was not saying empty words at the moment.

That deep eye was incredibly convincing.

Her eyes shook.

‘Are you sure you can save TC80? How?’

Next to Jean, I asked him if he was frustrated.

“Jinhyun, what the hell kind of method is that? I'm gonna take a breath.

But Jin Hyeon did not open her mouth easily and asked again.

“Would you really pay a billion dollars if you could save TC80? ”

He faced Amy's blue eyes.

With Jinhyun's firm eyes, Amy bites her red lips.

“I can't give you a billion. But if I could really save TC80, I would pay the equivalent. ”

Jinhyun put out two fingers.

“200 million.”

“Yes?”

“At least 200 million, that's the price of my idea. If you do not agree to these terms, I will not let you know. ”

At his words, Jean opened his mouth.

You want $200 million for an idea? He wanted to know if Jinhyun was sane.

“Ji, Jinhyun? What is this.... ”

However, Jinhyun did not even fluctuate.

‘There's no reason for me to serve Haines, a multinational pharmaceutical company. And when you think about the market value of the TC80 that you see in the future, 200 million is the same thing as a hundredth of a dollar. ’

The idea Jinhyun was proposing right now was not just his own idea.

As evidenced by prolonged clinical trials in the future, its value transcended the rise.

‘It's not 200 million, it's not enough to take a billion... but there's no way to prove that it's proven in the future. ’

Given that, I had no intention of receiving less than $200 million. $200 million is too much to be unfair.

Jinhyun looked at Amy. Amy looked at him like she was staring at him.

“I don't know what kind of brilliant idea you have, but the idea is just an idea. No matter how good an idea is, applying it to the real world is a completely different problem. ”

It only meant having an idea and it didn't mean much. I was right.

So Jinhyun said.

“If you think the idea is worth it, we'll design a study design that will take care of all the outlines. You'll only have to pay an additional $100 million to design your study. ”

Jean's jaw fell. You're asking for 300 million in your seat?

“ ……. ”

A choking silence ensued.

Amy bites her lips and asks.

“What a desperate demand. ”

“Right? But when you think about the market value of TC80, you think it's a lot of money. ”

“What if I refuse your offer? ”

Jinhyun replied without hesitation.

“I'm going to get up from here and go to Klein and make the same offer. ”

“ ……! ”

Klein was a large multinational pharmaceutical company, a rival of Haynes.

Jean's face turned white.

If Jinhyun holds hands with another pharmaceutical company, Mine Bio is bankrupt as it is.

“Jin Hyun-gun... ”

“Of course, I have a relationship with Jean, and I'd like to work with Maine Bio, Haines. So make your judgment. ”

With Jinhyun's words, no one opened their mouth.

Popcorn.

Amy's clock only moves the first time, and a heavy tent sits in the room.

The fine foods on the table have cooled down.

Seeing those foods, Jinhyun said:

“The food is cold. Think about it while you eat.”

And Jinhyun heard chopsticks.

With that relaxed attitude, Amy suddenly smiles.

With a smile on her face, Zhang opened his eyes. He never saw Amy smile.

“Mr. Kim, what did you say your name was? ”

“This is Jinhyun Kim. ”

“Excuse me, but how old are you? ”

“I'm 24 years old in Korea. ”

“You're 24 years old... in Korean. ”

Amy smiled.

It's like a flower on ice. Her smile with a cold impression was prettier and softer than I thought.

“Apart from the real value of the idea, that attitude is amazing. I leave my age, and I feel attractive. ”

The moment Jinhyun was slightly embarrassed by the mysterious words, Amy's smile disappeared.

She said in a stiff tone.

“All right. If we could save the TC80 that did so much damage to Haines, what would that be worth? I'll take your terms. But! If you think your idea is worthless, don't expect a penny. ”

Jinhyun nodded.

“Very well, Miss Amy hears and judges the value of the idea. ”

“I get it, so tell me quickly. ”

Jean was also exhausted.

“First of all, it's impossible to save TC80 with neuropsychotic drugs like depressants. because they have a lot of side effects. ”

“And then?”

Jinhyun asked one question instead of answering it right away.

“What are the side effects of TC80? ”

“It's mainly the digestive system. Severe abdominal pain and diarrhea in the dog. ”

“Then why do you have abdominal pain and diarrhea? ”

“because it works on your receptor, as you said earlier. ”

“Yes, that's right. TC80 not only improves depression, but it also acts on other receptors, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. So how does that receptor cause abdominal pain and diarrhea? ”

“That's..... ”

This time, Amy didn't answer easily either.

Jinhyun explained.

“It's because the bowel function is over-stimulated. The function of the intestines that you need to stay calm is exacerbated, so you have abdominal pain and diarrhea. ”

“What does that have to do with saving TC80? ”

Amy frowns.

Jinhyun said,

“Excessive stimulation of bowel function… doesn't that mean that TC80 can also be used as a digestive booster? That is also a powerful tool.”

“ ……!! ”

Amy's eyes seem to be tearing apart. I understood what Jinhyun said.

“Well, that means...? ”

“Yes, it's an adverse reaction, it's a drug. TC80 will be a powerful digestive booster. This can be a new alternative, especially for patients with refractory constipation who do not respond to existing drugs. ”

Amy's head quickly turned back.

It's just a transition to the idea, but it's a huge idea.

It's worth turning a TC80 that's about to cause hundreds of billions of damage into a golden egg-bearing goose.

‘Moreover, the digestive function market is much larger than the depression market. If only commercialization……. ’

She will be able to be promoted to president, not vice president of the Korean branch. No, I can go back to the executive.

But she soon shook her head. It was a good idea, but it wasn't as easy as saying.

“I listened to your idea. But it's too much abdominal and diarrhea to use as a remedy. You can't sell poison as a drug, can you? And I don't know what side effects it would have if I sold a drug that was acting on the neuropsychiatric system as a digestant. ”

It was the right point, but Jinhyun had a solution.

It didn't have to be difficult.
