Search for active agents

Only a small part of the world's plant species have been phytochemically analysed. Correspondingly, flora holds a tremendous potential for the research and development of new active compounds.

BioPlanta harnesses this potential for its clients and breaks new ground in the research of active agents:

• Searching for biologically active plant ingredients
• Specific spectrum of active agents adapted to the customer's requirements
• Production of test batches for preclinical and clinical analysis
• Search for alternative resources
• Optimization of biological activity of extracts

Extracts for the industry
For centuries phytochemicals have been important constituents for the production of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and foodstuffs.
BioPlanta is a reliable partner for the individual manufacturing of plant-derived extracts of the highest quality.

Active substances for pharmaceutics
Plant-derived active substances such as paclitaxel, which is extracted from the Pacific yew tree, podophyllotoxin from the May Apple or camptothecin from Camptotheca acuminate ("tree of happiness"), are outstanding sources for pharmaceuticals in cancer therapy. BioPlanta produces plant-derived compounds as well as fine chemicals with high purity and homogeneity.
