According to historical records, Fan Qingsheng used the basic theoretical knowledge and the latest experimental methods learned in the United States to lead his assistant Zhu Riye to develop it. Finally, the first batch of penicillin reagents with 50,000 units was successfully developed in that year (1944), and the clinical application showed good results. As a result, China has become one of the seven countries (the United States, Britain, France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and China) that can develop penicillin.
Extended data:
At that time, imported penicillin was expensive, and there was a saying that one or two pieces of gold were penicillin, which was not used by ordinary people. Fan Qingsheng believes that only by realizing mass production as soon as possible can domestic penicillin benefit ordinary people. Fan Qingsheng opened the history of antibiotic production in China and was a pioneer in the introduction, development, naming and production of penicillin in China.
After penicillin was successfully developed and mass-produced, Fan Qingsheng considered that it should be given a Chinese name, so that the general public in China could accept it, so he named it penicillin. Penicillin is named penicillin because this mold strain is bluish yellow in shape, so it is "blue"; The suffix "-in" in English is often translated into "vegetarian" in biology, such as "vitamin" translated into vitamin. The combination of the two is named "penicillin". Since then, this name has been used to this day.
