今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予了屠呦呦(共同获奖者),她的研究促使了青蒿素的发现。这是一种至关重要的治疗疟疾的新疗法。青蒿素挽救了数十万人的生命,并改善了数百万人的健康状况。全世界每年有超过2亿人罹患疟疾,约60万人死于疟疾。青蒿素已成为治疗疟疾的重要组成部分,据认为仅在非洲一年就能挽救10万人的生命。

屠呦呦是一位坚定而耐心的科学家,1930年12月30日出生于中国宁波,1955年毕业于北京大学医学院。毕业后,她在北京的中国中医研究院工作。1967年,中国政府组建了一支以探索治疗疟疾新方法为目的的科学家队伍,屠呦呦是其中首批入选的研究人员。在开始的时候,屠呦呦去了海南研究疟疾患者,在那里疟疾较为普遍。

1969年,她成为北京项目的负责人,并决定复阅中国古代医药文献,寻找这种疾病的传统植物疗法。她的团队查阅了2000多本古老的医药文献,并对280 000种植物的药用价值进行了评估。在他们的研究中,他们发现并测试了380种不同的中国古代疗法,这些方法为抗击疟疾带来了希望。

Tu Youyou’s road of discovering the artemisinin
本四世纪的医药文献推荐使用青蒿提取物来治疗发烧。屠呦呦的团队测试了一批干青蒿,但没有发现效果。然后,他们试着把新鲜的青蒿煮沸,并用从中提取的液体来治疗疟疾,但这也不起作用。他们的项目陷入了困境。然而,屠呦呦并不承认失败。她再次分析了一遍医药文献,偶然间,她发现了一句话,建议用另一种方法来处理青蒿。她得出结论,煮青蒿显然破坏了它的药用价值。

她用较低的温度提取提取物,发现了一种有效的物质。在失败了190多次之后,这个团队终于在1971年成功了。屠呦呦和她的团队成员甚至坚持在自己身上测试药物,以确保它是安全的。后来,这种药物在疟疾患者身上进行了测试,大部分受试患者都康复了。这种被称为青蒿素的药物很快成为治疗疟疾的标准药物。
