SINTMOL Biotechnology

SINTMOL Biotechnology: The SINTMOL served by the Biotransformation, Fermentation, Biocatalysis, and Bioassay Laboratory

Bioassays: The laboratory is equipped to bioassay synthetic organic compounds, particularly to explore features related to:

antibacterial activity
larvicidal properties
antioxidant ability
tyrosinase inhibition
acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition

Biotransformation/biocatalysis: Enzymes and microorganisms are employed to biotransform and biocatalyze organic substrates (bioactive or otherwise) to trigger or potentiate biological activity.

Molecular bioprospection: The focus is mainly on finding the solutions for drug resistant infections (bacterial and fungi).

Production of antibiotics: We are interested in producing 6-APA and 7-ACA by biotechnological processes.

The laboratory is managed by:

The SINTMOL research group has become a part of CIBSINT.

The CIBSint is an important initiative for the research, development, and innovation of products useful for health and agriculture, with the potential to generate positive impact on society and the country's economy.
