Bioactive compounds

Cyanobacteria are a rich source for numerous bioactive compounds, mainly non-ribosomal peptides and polyketides The bioactivities of cyanobacterial natural products are often pharmacologically interesting, e.g. cytotoxic, antifungal, antibacterial, immunosuppressive and ACE-inhibitory, protease- and phosphatase-inhibitory activities. Cyano Biotech screens cyanobacteria for bioactive compounds in high throughput screening employing state-of-the-art equipment in order to develop lead structures in drug discovery for the pharma industry.
