National Award for Science and Technology Progress goes to Hongjitang

2016.01.12

For its contribution as the organizer and executor in the project Research and Development of Synthetic Muscone and its Industrialization, Hongjitang Pharmaceutical Group won the First Class National Award for Science and Technology Progress in Beijing on January 8th.

As a high-value ingredient among all TCM raw material, the odor-intensive muscone has such medicinal effects as inducing resuscitation, relieving pains, soothing uneasiness, promoting blood circulation and inhibiting acute inflammation, which results in a huge demand on the market. After musks had been under the first-class special state protection, Chinese pharmacologists began to work on substitutes for natural muscone in the 1970s. In May 1975, Hongjitang Pharmaceutical Group was entrusted to set up a team for the R&D of synthetic muscone. Supported by the Shandong Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the project team succeeded in synthesizing muscone in only 3 years. The new product was then approved by the National Health Commission after its efficacy had been confirmed through all stages of clinical trials over a decade. In 1992, Hongjitang started the industrial production of synthetic muscone.
