Novartis considers selling Alcon: Layout medical ophthalmology market
In 2010, Novartis acquired Alcon, a subsidiary of Nestlé's ophthalmic products, for $51.6 billion to become the world's largest manufacturer of ophthalmic health products. Prior to the acquisition of Alcon, Novartis's contact lens manufacturer, Vision, was the only non-pharmaceutical business unit retained after its divestiture of medical supplements and baby food. However, the performance of Kangkang is too general, and Novartis is determined to spend a lot of money to buy Alcon. At that time, Novartis was facing difficulties in the patented drug business. In the case of new drug development difficulties and the impact of generic drugs, Novartis's eyes began to focus on other areas, the eye care business is exactly one, and hope to reverse the company's patented drug protection expired and the sales of the best-selling drugs may decline. The loss brought. At the time of the acquisition, Novartis stated that the acquisition of Alcon will help the company achieve its long-term development goals in the eye care market, and Novartis is very optimistic about the development of eye care and can build a broader eye care portfolio. . In February of this year, Novartis reorganized Alcon's ophthalmology business and took over the business unit by former Hospira CEO Michael Ball, and transferred most of Alcon's ophthalmic prescription drugs to pharmaceutical units, with some sales of $900 million to $1 billion. Mature drugs will be transferred to the generic unit. Novartis Chairman Joerg Reinhardt Single Packed Yellow Waxy Corn Cob
For the most common waxy and sweet corn on the market, waxy corn has a higher nutrient content than regular corn, containing 70-75% starch (and almost all straight-chain starch), more than 10% protein, 4-5% fat and 2% multivitamins, with more grains, VA, VB1 and VB2 in protein than rice, with the highest fat and VB2 content. Yellow maize also contains carotenoids, such as rice and wheat. The molecular weight of waxy maize starch is more than 10 times smaller than that of ordinary maize, and the starch makes glutinous rice sticky and soft, softer than ordinary hard maize. It is more than 20% more digestible to eat than regular maize and it is suitable for people with less than perfect teeth. At the same time, it is not suitable for diabetics because of the very high content of straight-chain starch (a polysaccharide).
Waxy maize is also known as sticky maize. The grain has coarse, waxy endosperm, similar to shiny, glassy (clear) grains such as hard and dent maize. Its chemical and physical characteristics are controlled by a recessive gene, which is located on chromosome 9. 100% of the starch in the endosperm is straight-chain starch.
