Planta was founded in 1994 by three dynamic biotechnologists whose aim was to put their ideas and visions into practice. Today Planta is an innovative drug development company. Our staff members’ academic backgrounds lie in the fields of biochemistry, biology, pharmacology and toxicology. Our permanent key personal consists of seven co-workers – a group which allows for a compact and familiar atmosphere. Flexibility is our strength and is a great asset to our customers and cooperation partners.
R&D:Our main area of interest lies in isolating and highly purifying small molecules from biogenic raw materials. However, our projects also concern themselves with complex macromolecules and enzymes (and other functional proteins) from plant and animal based natural raw materials, ie, human blood. At present, we are working on diterpenes, such as Forskolin, Salvinorin, plant occurring dye (Hypericin, Curcumin), and on the human peroxidases MPO (Myeloperoxidase) and Eosinophil Peroxidase (EPO).
