We have already discussed funny story Amiksin or Lavomax, which were developed 50 years ago and not even here.
With cycloferon, about the same story. It was patented in 1971 by the Swiss company Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., which we now know simply as Roche.
It must have been a cool time at the turn of the sixties and seventies. Then they came up with a bunch of drugs.
Here patent information for the Swiss cycloferon, which was not yet called cycloferon at that time. Moreover, the very chemical name of the drug does not particularly resonate with the modern cycloferon allegedly developed in our country.
You will have to flip through one page of this graphic copy of the patent to see the formula for the drug. You don't have to be a chemist to do this. It is enough just to compare his picture and a picture of our cycloferon. Our authors themselves say that their drug is slightly different from the one known somewhere in Poland (in 1987) or something else.
In short, foreigners still early seventies years of the last century experimented on mice with such a drug.
In modern scientific literature, both that drug and ours are called the same - "cycloferon".
It turned out that this thing helps mice to cope with some kind of viral infections.
This is all, of course, interesting, but such garbage has not been tested in public. All experiments were left somewhere in the past.
Then came the dashing nineties and, as far as I understood, our scientists began to dig into old foreign patents. They took something from there, changed something slightly, and tried to feed you and me with untested chemistry, which a huge international pharmaceutical company disdained to use.
Have you been fed already?
