2022: Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation revealed how pharmaceutical companies earn on COVID-19
In mid-January 2022, it became known how pharmaceutical companies earn on COVID-19 coronavirus in Russia. The corresponding analysis of the register of permits for clinical studies of the Ministry of Health for 2021 was conducted by Vedomosti.
According to the publication, at least two companies in 2021 tested the effectiveness of their drugs in combating the symptoms of posterior syndrome, which, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), include fatigue, shortness of breath, cognitive dysfunction, etc. For example, the Scientific and Production Company (NPF) Materia Medica Holding is testing the Prospectus nootrope used for cognitive impairment in the treatment of asthenia (fatigue, weakness) in patients after acute coronavirus, indicated in the registry. Phase three studies began at the end of September 2021, for which 680 patients from 46 hospitals were involved.
According to DSM Group CEO Sergei Shulyak, whether the company, if approved by new indications, will be able to increase the revenue of this drug, released in 2021, will depend on investments in the advertising campaign and the quality of its implementation. The DSM Group estimated the sales of Prospectus for January-November 2021 at 9929 packages in the amount of 6.32 million rubles.
By the end of 2021, six drugs were being investigated for the therapy of postcovid syndrome and disease prevention.

Foundation Association 'What to Do' helped doctors and hospitals for four months
On August 6, 2020, the Cancer Prevention Foundation announced that despite international experience in combating COVID-19 and awareness of the virus, Russia was not ready for the rapid spread of infection, and the vast majority of medical workers met with it without protection. Ineffective, bureaucratized by the federal law on public procurement of FZ-44 public procurement mechanisms and delays in the supply of methodological materials for the protection of medical workers, the shortage of PPE in the Russian market and the lack of funds for them in hospitals and regions, as well as the lack of methodological recommendations by the Ministry of Health on the calculation of needs for PPE and the procedure for their procurement - these and many other factors have caused outbreaks of the epidemic in medical institutions and mass infections among medical workers.
In these conditions, in March 2020, the charitable foundations "Not in vain," "Tradition," AdVita, "Living," "Pravmir," "Good City Petersburg" and "Shop of Joy" united in the movement "What to do" to provide medical personnel with PPE and consumables medical , as well as help them in the fight against coronavirus and stop the spread of infection inside hospitals. For 4 months, the Funds supported more than 180 Russian hospitals in the amount of 325.909.070.54. rubles
Entrepreneurs, companies and industries, individuals, sports clubs, theaters and actors joined the movement. Participating funds aggregated up-to-date information about the needs of hospitals and clinics and advised donors - it is much more effective to direct funds, were engaged in the purchase of PPE and consumables and provided logistics from the manufacturer to a specific medical institution. In addition, the funds provided doctors of various specializations with up-to-date information on the diagnosis and treatment of coronavirus infection. So, the Foundation "Not in Vain" in a short time gathered a team of doctors and volunteers who provided translation of the latest foreign studies about COVID-19 and access to high-quality information, and also lectured for doctors from the regions.
In addition to PPE and medical consumables, doctors working in the red zone needed water, hot food and a safe (for themselves and others) road to the workplace, as well as disposable dishes for quarantined departments, etc. They wrote about all this when filling out an application for help on the website of the What to Do movement. These requests were distributed within the community according to the capabilities and resources of each organization.
As of August 2020, our task has been completed: by July 2020, the number of requests for help from hospitals has decreased, the pandemic of coronavirus infection in Russia is on the decline, and the state managed to include its resources and provide PPE doctors. This means that each of our organizations can fully return to the fulfillment of its specialized tasks. We sincerely hope that the second wave of the epidemic, if it comes, will make medical organizations and the medical administration prepared. However, the Not in Vain Foundation will continue to provide expert support to hospitals and doctors: the team is ready to accept applications for consultations, lectures and assistance in organizing the fight against COVID in medical institutions.

Supercomputer in Russia attracted to fight coronavirus
March 26, 2020 Interdepartmental Supercomputer Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences (JSCC RAS) announced the allocation of computational resources of a modernized cluster system PROFIT CENTER-10P for research to combat coronavirus infection. COVID-19
This updated supercomputer based on the 2nd generation Intel Xeon Scalable server processors began to be used by Russian scientists and their foreign colleagues as part of a project to develop medicines for the diagnosis and therapy of this infectious disease.
Using supercomputer modeling, the interaction of the Spike protein on the surface of a coronavirus with its target in the human body - the APF2 protein (ACE2, Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) is studied in detail. APF2 serves as an inlet for coronaviruses of the SARS and SARS-2 types, so blocking the interaction of this protein with the virus is one promising way to reduce viral activity in the human body.
To assess the binding energies of these proteins, large-scale molecular-dynamic and quantum-chemical calculations of complexes of virus and human proteins are carried out. The results of theoretical calculations and computer simulations will then be tested experimentally on proteins, viruses and cells
The supercomputer will also be used for computer modeling, which allows you to study processes at the level of individual molecules, as well as based on the knowledge obtained to predict the effectiveness of the use of various drugs. It is noted that by modeling biochemical processes on high-performance computing systems, you can quickly obtain the necessary data for subsequent full-scale experiments of significantly smaller volumes.
