Pipeline

Bioseutica® is in the advanced R&D development of AMCIPATRICIN by inhalation for treatment and/or prevention of severe fungal infections in cystic fibrosis and/or immunocompromised patients (Patent pending). Bioseutica® is looking for development and commercial partners.

Bioseutica® AMCIPATRICIN

Bioseutica® AMCIPATRICIN

Fungal diseases are a public health issue: opportunistic infections (e.g., cryptococcosis and aspergillosis), hospital-associated infections (e.g., candidemia), and community-acquired infections pose an important threat to public health1. Globally, over 300 million people are afflicted with a serious fungal infection, and 25 million are at high risk of dying or losing their sight2. AMCIPATRICIN diascorbate (code SPK-843) is a new semi-synthetic, water-soluble polyene antibiotic with potent broad-spectrum antifungal activity, particularly against Candida spp., Cryptococcus sp., and Aspergillus spp.

EFSA scientific opinion on Lysozyme from hen’s egg
EFSA opinion on Bioseutica's application for Lysozyme from hens’ eggs

The food enzyme lysozyme (peptidoglycanN-acetylmuramoylhydrolase; EC 3.2.1.17) is produced from hens eggs by Bioseutica B.V. It is intended to be used in brewing processes, milk processing for cheese production as well as wine production. The dietary exposure to the food enzyme–total organic solids (TOS) was estimated to be up to 4.9 mg TOS/kg body weight per day. This exposure is lower than the intake of the corresponding fraction from eggs for all population groups.

Bioseutica® Ovotransferrin
Looking for a lactoferrin substitute? Try Ovotransferrin - with similar molecular properties and thermal stability to BLF and HLF.

Want to improve your protein products' processing quality and biological activities? Try using Ovotransferrin as a lactoferrin substitute. Ovotransferrin (OVT) is a protein that has a high similarity to Bovine lactoferrin (BLF) and human lactoferrin (HLF) and may be used as a substitute for lactoferrin (LF) due to its limited production. While there were differences in isoelectric point, particle size, and hydrophobicity, it was still able to maintain good dispersity with similar denaturation temperatures. Ovotransferrin is more sensitive to heating at a pH of 5.0.
