Natural products have found numerous applications to treat and prevent diseases in humans, animals, and plants, and are widely used as research reagents to probe biological processes. They are a proven and sustainable resource for R&D projects in different fields. The micro4all (www.micro4all.com) platform represents a Major Change in Drug Discovery, making R&D processes faster and more successful. This platform provides access to purified compounds, microbial extracts and strains, and to the “Molecules Gateway”, an extensive online database of >150k molecules, known and yet-to-be described, physically present in the microbial extracts derived from strains from Naicons collection. Through multiple search options, users can explore this growing database to readily find data or materials that are relevant for their projects. Visit our website: www.naicons.com |
