Anti-Infectives
In the case of anti-bacterials, pure molecules that pass our primary screening criteria are further assessed against a broad ranging and sensitive MIC study using standard CLS protocols. Compounds are screened against a broad range of clinically relevant Gram positive and negative bacteria including resistant and non-resistant strains.
The company also looks at testing anti-fungal hits against a wide range of systemic and epiphytic fungal infections including Trychoderma spp, Candida tropicalis, C. Glabrata and a panel of Aspergilli and Fusarium spp.
Anti-inflammatory
Compounds that show good NF-kB activities are further evaluated against a large panel of kinases e.g. modulators of IKKb to look for compound specificity and mode of action in the inflammation cascade.
Anti-Oxidants
Compounds that show strong anti-oxidant activities compared against known standards such as α-tocopherol are then further evaluated using a number of different assays.
