European Gram Negative Antibacterial Engine (ENABLE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2020,

The intensive use and misuse of antibiotics has resulted in some level of antibiotic resistance in essentially all human bacterial pathogens. There is a growing concern that the loss of therapeutic options will present us with a post-antibiotic era where present and future medical advances are negated. Resistant bacteria dramatically reduce the possibilities of treating infections effectively, a ...

Ocean Medicines

Start date: Dec 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2019,

Marine organisms have the capacity to produce a variety of biologically potent natural products. Such novel molecules have new mechanisms of action and therefore could be used to treat human diseases and enhance the quality of life, especially in the ageing segment of the population. However, although there is growing interest in marine natural products (MNP) as potential therapeutic agents for hu ...

Thoroughly Optimised Production Chassis for Advanced Pharmaceutical Ingredients (TOPCAPI)

End date: Jan 1, 2017,

TOPCAPI will exploit the natural fabrication power of actinomycetes as microbial cell factories to produce three high value compounds: GE2270, a starter compound for the semi-synthesis of NAI-Acne, a new topical anti-acne drug in Phase II clinical trials; 6-desmethyl-tetracycline (6DM-TC) and 6-desmethyl 6-deshydro tetracycline (6DM6DH-TC), intermediates for semi-synthetic conversion to medically ...

A systematic analysis of parasite metabolism - from metabolism to intervention (ParaMet)

Start date: Jun 1, 2012, End date: May 31, 2016,

Parasites exact a devastating toll on health and economic productivity, infecting man and also domestic livestock. Drugs used to combat parasitic diseases are deficient in many ways and new, better drugs are needed to establish sustainable means to combat diseases caused by protozoan parasites that include malaria, trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis in man, and coccidiosis among others in animals. ...

Novel applications of diffusion NMR spectroscopy in microbial natural products research (DOSYMNPS)

Start date: Sep 1, 2011, End date: Aug 31, 2015,

Natural products have inspired chemists by their rich structural diversity and complexity while playing a pivotal role as sources for drug lead compounds during the last century. However, in order for natural products chemistry to continue to be competitive with purely synthetic based drug discovery methods, there is a need to continually improve the efficiency of the source selection, screening, ...

Cocultivation of microorganisms as a strategy for discovery of new natural products with antimicrobial properties (CoculMicro)

Start date: Aug 1, 2011, End date: Jul 31, 2015,

New antibiotics are urgently needed to combat persistent, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. Historically, microbial natural products have been a prolific source of antibacterials, and the screening of microbial extracts has yielded many classes of antibiotics. However, this approach was largely abandoned by big pharma because of the high rates of rediscovery of known antibiotics, and t ...
