It often takes many years before a new active compound from basic research hits the market as a drug. In order to accelerate this process, the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) and Saarland University will work together even more closely in the future. To this end, they have now founded the Translational Centre for Bioactive Compounds, in which scientists from both institutions will interact closely with the University Hospital in Homburg and the pharmaceutical industry.

New antibiotics are urgently needed in the fight against multi-resistant bacteria. The recently discovered darobactin is a potential candidate with resistance-breaking properties. This substance shows very good antimicrobial activity against some of the most problematic hospital germs. However, so far darobactin could only be produced in relatively small quantities, making detailed investigation and further development difficult. A team led by Dr Sebastian Groß from the Department of Microbial Natural Products at the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) in Saarbrücken has now addressed this problem. The scientists published their results in the journal Chemical Science.
