Medicinal Chemistry of Polyphenols : their potential use as bioactive compounds

Introduction :

A team from the Department of Medicinal Chemistry is expert in the extraction of natural active substances as well as in the development and synthesis of analogues. These new synthesized compounds can prove to be highly advantageous to companies interested in identifying new molecules of therapeutic and cosmetic value.

The department has patented a number of inventions related to the use of  polyphenol derivatives in pharmacy and cosmetology which in turn have led to the commercialization of active polyphenols in cosmetology. These factors may differentiate the department from other laboratories and can potentially lead to reduced lead times necessary for synthesizing or extracting new molecules.
