(October 18, 8th International SPACC Symposium, in Beijing, China)
Polaprezinc is gaining further attention worldwide, when receiving this October The Society of Pure & Applied Coordination Chemistry Technical Development Award for 2000 given out by Society of Pure & Applied Coordination Chemistry. Polaprezinc consists of a combined Peptide / Zinc-complex, which has shown remarkable effects in case of gastric ulcers.

Hamari Chemicals had been chosen for this prize, because of its great contribution to the process of developing new drugs based on a metal-protein-complex. It is still rare to apply Zinc-complex for drug use, when this new drug not only will draw attention for its effectiveness, but as well has opened up a new research field.

Since 1994 Polaprezinc is sold in Japan with a great success.
