Weihnachtsbäume werden zu Tamiflu

Gefunden in der taz:
Ein kanadischer Arzneimittelhersteller will aus weggeworfenen Weihnachtsbäumen das Grippemittel Oseltamivir herstellen. "Aus Bäumen, die nach Weihnachten normalerweise im Häcksler gelandet wären, wird ein Medikament gemacht, das die Menschen vor einer möglichen Massenerkrankung schützen soll, die Millionen Menschen töten könnte", erklärte die Firmengründerin von Biolyse Pharma, Brigitte Kiecken. Die Pharmafirma will aus Tannennadeln Shikimik-Säure gewinnen, die Hauptbestandteil des Grippemittels Oseltamivir beziehungsweise Tamiflu ist. Derzeit sei Shikimik nur in kleinen Mengen zu erhalten, sagte Kiecken. Im vergangenen Jahr sei der Kilopreis für den Rohstoff von 45 auf 600 Dollar hochgeschnellt. AFP
