Extraordinary Sailing

Chapter 441

Far sail leads to the north, belonging to Aiwen's high-standard biological laboratory.

Guru Guru

In the glass still, broken green leaves, red, yellow, and purple petals are constantly tumbling in the boiling water, and the hot steam rises up with the essential oil separated from the oil storage cells.

Passing through the condenser tube above the distiller, it continuously flows into the spiral condenser surrounded by cold water outside, and the last drop falls into the collection bottle below.

A hand with sterile gloves took off the transparent collection bottle that had been filled with the oil-water mixture, and replaced it with a new one by the way.

clatter!

Young people wearing protective clothing used the experimental equipment at hand to separate the oil and water with ease, and then filled the extracted refined oil into several glass bottles.

"Teacher, the essential oil of pineapple flower has been extracted. Would you like to see it?"

Distillation is currently the most commonly used method for extracting essential oils from plants, and there is no one.

Approximately 95% of various essential oils are extracted by distillation. Others include squeezing method, solvent extraction method, etc., which are applicable to medicinal ingredients of different properties.

Now this simple preparation process does not require Ivan to do it himself, and the second disciple Calvin is more than enough.

After taking the finished product in Calvin's hands, Irvin did several sets of controlled killing experiments on the collected [Super Cyst Fungus], and after getting the expected results.

Holding the test record, walk to the doctor of medicine who is working at the other end of the laboratory.

"Dr. Taylor, the essential oil of pineapple flower has stable properties and has excellent killing effect on this pathogen. It is also most suitable for large-scale preparation. I think this is the good medicine we are looking for."

"Crack-leaf pineapple flower? Let me see."

Shortly before Ivan and his party separated from Dr. Taylor, Gary led a group of guards to find him and **** him to Yuanfanling.

When Yuan Fanling had the first batch of [cystic attendants] attacked, causing panic infection, he helped a lot in time. Of course, it was not only because of the doctor's vocation, but because of the great value of being a professional medical wizard, he was originally a guest of the Marquis and his wife.

When Aiwen and his party flew to Yuanfanling across the entire new Granada Vice-Kingdom and the Golden Sea. Dr. Taylor, who was already prepared, used the knowledge inherited from the "Visaari School" to lock a series of targeted herbs using the original strain as a medium:

Eriocheir japonicus, Eriocheir japonicus, Flos Butterbur, Pineapple Flower

In fact, those who look down on Chinese medicine don't know that even the first western medicine mostly comes from grass roots, bark, and flowers in the vast nature.

It's just that the pharmacists researched and extracted the most effective, single-component chemical products. This is a Western medicine that is purer and more unitary than traditional Chinese medicine, which is made by westerners using chemical methods.

For example, aspirin is an alias for acetylsalicylic acid, and it is a synthetic compound produced by the synthesis of the active ingredient "salicyl alcohol". Salicyl alcohol is named after a kind of "sericin" of the willow tree.

The original source of raw materials is the resin extracted from willow bark and the juice extracted from willow leaves.

Quinine is a special medicine for treating malaria, and it also originates from a flowering evergreen plant, the famous cinchona tree.

At first, the bark of the cinchona tree itself was widely promoted as an anti-malaria drug. Two hundred years after being used as medicine, some pharmacists extracted an alkaloid called "quinine" from it, which transformed it into a conventional Western medicine.

In this era of great navigation, with the gradual development of experimental medicine.

Natural plant extracts or essential oils have gradually replaced bottled decoctions with complex ingredients derived from wizards’ "potions", becoming an important weapon in the hands of pharmacists, and will soon become the main form of medicine in the mundane world.

If one or two hundred years pass, when natural substances are either raw materials for manufacturing medicines or reference samples of artificial products, chemists will also produce more and more chemical compounds that are not available in nature.

Of course, it is now in the initial stage of medical science, and Aiwen and the others are far from the corresponding conditions and knowledge system.

Directly extracting active ingredients from plants is currently the easiest and the only way to produce enough medicines to solve the epidemic at the fastest speed. It is simpler than chemically replicating its complex effects.

As for the pharmaceutical giants in modern society, why never promote these complex natural medicines? It is not because they are not effective, but because they have difficulty in obtaining patents for the corresponding pharmaceutical formulations and profit from them.

For Aiwen, this problem does not exist.

In a collaborative experiment with Dr. Taylor, they finally chose a plant that is widely distributed in the subtropical and tropical regions of the New World from several candidate plants: the "Pineapple Flower" of the genus Artemisia of Bignoniaceae.

The essential oil components directly extracted from it can exert a strong killing effect on the witchcraft-modified [Super Cyst Fungus], and even have a broad-spectrum inhibitory effect on many other germs.

In particular, the growth range of this plant is very wide, even if the simplest and rude distillation extraction method is used, the effective ingredients will not be destroyed, and it is convenient for large-scale preparation.

Moreover, unlike the antibiotics that Ivan is planning to manufacture, it may have strong side effects on the human body, and it must be tested for allergy in advance.

This also means that they do not need to conduct too complicated human experiments, they can be directly listed!

"I don't think there is a problem, Mr. Irwin. Although it is not the best sterilizing effect among them, it is balanced by various factors, and this medicine can fully meet all our current requirements.

After reading the experimental report and the comparison of several alternative drugs, Dr. Taylor also somewhat excitedly agreed with Aiwen's choice.

Sand...Sand...Sand...

By the way, from the professional point of view of an excellent doctor, a prescription for how to use this new drug was left at the bottom of that report.

Coupled with this plant essential oil named [Rurubin] because of its color, and several adjuvants, it is expected to be sufficient to cure the second generation of patients infected by [cystic attendant] within three days.

However, after being absorbed too much nutrients by the cyst fungus, weakness is inevitable for a long time.

As for the first-generation patients who were directly infected by the "Plague Poison Cloud", it is not yet certain. Because they don't have such a patient at hand for the time being, even if one comes in, they have been burned as a source of infection.

And Ivan was very suspicious that after killing two members of the "poisonous epidemic school", they would dare to continue spreading the germs in such a big way.

Although this time because of various coincidences and the pertinence of the road, they fell into their own hands.

However, we can't question the survival ability of the "poisonous epidemic school" and the powerful threat to ordinary people. If you are a low-key person, you can at least get very nourishing.

Aiwen couldn't help thinking, just a germ in a crystal hole can cause such a big trouble, then what kind of power will it have after the outbreak of various pathogens that are not well recognized by humans?

Even common diseases that are very popular in ocean waters: malaria, yellow fever, blood dysentery, edema, colds, and parasitic diseases. These are more troublesome than one, but they can't be solved by strength.

So when Calvin left the laboratory with the report and the warrant issued by Aiwen, collecting raw materials and calling craftsmen to prepare for large-scale preparation.

Aiwen asked the doctor who arranged the laboratory equipment next to him:

"Dr. Taylor, after solving the matter here, do you have any other plans?"

After finding the special medicine, Taylor, who just breathed a sigh of relief, did not expect that Ivan would ask this question. After thinking for a while, he answered him very honestly:

"I may choose to continue to travel to the magical new world and improve my medical skills in the process of continuous treatment. If I can make some groundbreaking medical results and leave a fortune in the medical classics, it will not waste my decades. Practicing career."

Aiwen also knew that the actual age of this seemingly middle-aged doctor was close to seventy. It was just because of the wizard's nature and special knowledge that his physical condition was much better than ordinary people.

And if such an "old man" can travel across the oceans and across the Black Sea to the New World, it would be totally unimaginable without firm belief or obsession.

Therefore, after hearing his words, Aiwen must feel that his plan this time should be stable.

He stared into Taylor's eyes and said very sincerely:

"With such great ambitions, you are destined to become a great doctor.

It just so happens that I have a little idea, which may be able to inspire you.

Plant-derived essential oils have multiple effects because they contain specific natural ingredients. "

When the other party couldn't help listening, Irvine threw a blockbuster.

"And I also found a special kind of substance produced by a certain microorganism~www.ltnovel.com~ They can be used to treat various bacterial infections or pathogenic microbial infections. I named it: antibiotics.

Moreover, they have much better antibacterial effects than natural plant extracts, and they are destined to be the gospel of countless patients suffering from diseases.

The most important thing is that this is a brand new category of drugs, and his inventor will be destined to stay in medical history! "

Seeing Dr. Taylor who was already short of breath, Ivan finally showed a devilish smile:

"I haven't completed the experimental part completely, and the second author of the paper is currently missing, I don't know."

"Please give me this opportunity to contribute to the cause of human medicine!"

Seeing Dr. Taylor, who had bowed to the end in front of him, Ivan was extremely happy and made a fist gently:

"Ship doctor, get!"
