Since its founding in 1951, Chengdu No. 1 Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has undergone reform, innovation, and rise, always advancing in step with the nation. From being one of China’s four strategic drug reserve bases in the early years of the People’s Republic to becoming a global leader in tropane alkaloid research; from the first comprehensive pharmaceutical enterprise in Southwest China to a national high-tech enterprise—each transformation embodies the wisdom and dedication of generations of Chengdu First Pharma pioneers.
We carry forward the intellectual legacy of pioneering scientists from China’s centralized research era, steadfastly focusing on natural botanical medicines like Hyoscyamus and Leonurus (motherwort) to build leading brands in microcirculation and obstetrics/gynecology. Our mission is to elevate China’s original drugs into vital contributors to global healthcare.
Clinical Value as Our Compass
We forge core competitiveness through therapeutic breakthroughs:
Our proprietary R&D achievement, Anisodine Hydrobromide, delivers unique clinical benefits in treating ischemic stroke (the top cause of disability/mortality) and ischemic optic neuropathy (a high-blindness-risk condition).
Anisodamine Hydrobromide plays a critical role in managing septic shock, proving indispensable for COVID-19 critical care.
Leonurus Injection has set benchmarks for traditional Chinese medicine in obstetrics/gynecology, dominating its category domestically.
Innovation-Driven Future
We embrace a triple-upgrade strategy—industrial, innovative, and ecological—to chart a new blueprint. Through sustained R&D and differentiated development, we pioneer the globalization of ethnopharmacology, reigniting the ascent of China’s plant-originated chemical drugs.
Seven decades of perseverance have forged our unchanging ethos: heritage, innovation, and responsibility. We sprint forward on life’s battlefield, targeting unmet clinical needs.
Gratitude & Commitment
To our employees, partners, and society: Your trust fuels us. We pledge to shoulder this responsibility with gratitude, striving for a century-lasting legacy while creating shared prosperity.
Global Partnership
We invite collaborators worldwide to join us in illuminating lives with China’s original medicines and shining our national pharmaceutical brand on the world stage.
