The Novel Technology:
An extract of Aegle marmelos (Bael) fruit with cytotoxic effect against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Applications:
- To use the extract as an anti-TB formulation
- To develop potential lead molecules from the identified compounds for therapeutic use against Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Advantages:
- Easy to obtain extract from natural source than a synthetic sources
- Extraction time is less compared to other methods
- Efficient system helps in obtaining higher yield
Business Model:
Early stage technology. Proof of concept by fractionation yielded a pure compound and demonstrated that hexane extract showed activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
