Adjutec Pharma

Adjutec Pharma’s vision is to develop and provide novel antibiotic resistance breakers in order to retain efficacy and facilitate reduced use of antibiotics. Its lead products are two β-lactamase inhibitors (BLI) targeting metallo-β-lactamase and serine-β -lactamases, APC148 and APC247 respectively. They have demonstrated in-vitro and in-vivo efficacy in large panels of multidrug-resistant isolates. The chemical synthesis route is scalable, and preliminary tests indicate a favorable toxicity profile.

The third pipeline product targets resistant tuberculosis (TB-MDR) and has already shown better result in-vitro compared to the latest drug registered on the market.

All APIs are secured under company patents and the Adjutec has attracted €5mill public and private funding to drive preclinical development.
