王玉強

暨南大學藥學院教授

王玉強,男,博士,暨南大學藥學院教授,博士生導師。王玉強教授從事DNA-minor groove binding 藥物CC-1065衍生物的研究多年, 他的實驗室合成了100多個CC-1065衍生物, 其中的YW-053是目前已知抗癌活性最強的少數化合物之一,其體外抗癌活性比臨床應用的抗癌藥物阿黴素強一百萬倍 (. , 8917, 1995)。王玉強教授在美國首次GMP合成治療老年痴獃藥物 memantine,作為核心成員,其團隊在美國將memantine 成功開發。Memantine2003年先後在歐美上市,2011年在日本上市,2013年在中國上市。Memantine 2007年的銷售額達10億美元, 正式成為“重磅炸彈”級藥物。

人物經歷


1981年畢業於山東師範大學化學系,獲學士學位
1987年獲美國University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and M. D. Anderson Cancer Center博士學位。隨後進入美國耶魯大學 (Yale) 醫學院和加拿大阿爾伯特大學 (University of Alberta) 做博士后研究。
九十年代初進入美國加州矽谷的生物醫藥公司從事藥物的研究與開發,2005年回國任暨南大學教授,藥學院院長,現任暨南大學新葯研究所所長,博士生導師。
2010年獲廣州經濟技術開發區科技領軍人才稱號。

研究方向


藥物研究的第一步是發現有生物活性的化合物,然後是研究這些化合物的作用機理和藥理活性。王玉強實驗室目前主要從事抗細菌和病毒藥物、治療糖尿病、心血管疾病藥物如心肌缺血神經退行性疾病如老年痴獃和帕金森等疾病藥物的設計、化學合成、藥理活性與作用機理的研究。

主要貢獻


王玉強實驗室近年開展了對中藥有效成份分子結構進行系統的化學修飾的工作。在中藥穿心蓮川芎及丹參有效成份的結構修飾方面已卓有成效,發現了比天然產物療效更高,毒性更低的新化合物。其中具有獨特作用機理和良好治療效果的治療缺血性腦中風新葯已完成臨床前研究。
