Tools and techniques available for research and development activities in the field of biotechnology:
o In vitro cell and 2D, 3D tissue culture engineering, confocal microscopy, molecular biological techniques e.g. electrophoresis, PCR
o Fermentation, cell banking, biological assay
o Virus production capacity (Fertilized egg, Class I)
Primycin, the only original Hungarian antibiotic, which was first described in Nature by Vályi-Nagy et al. in 1954, is in the focus of research and development activities. Primycin is the active substance of Ebrimycin® gel, which was first marketed by Chinoin Inc. in 1982. Rights of the medicinal product and the active substance were in-licensed by PannonPharma in 2003. Two new patents and numerous scientific articles, diploma and PhD thesis have been published in the field of primycin as a result of several years of research and development work and cooperation.
Primycin is a potential candidate against multiresistant Gram-positive pathogens as a result of re-evaluation of in vitro antibacterial activity.
Production site at Pécsvárad possesses GMP certificate for manufacturing and packaging of investigational medicinal products for clinical trials (solid and liquid dosage forms, non-sterile).
PannonPharma Ltd. is a member of the Hungarian Biotechnology Association and the accredited Biotechnology Innovation Base Cluster located in Southern Transdanubia.
