Applicable research results
| Title | Basic characteristics | Beneficiary |
|---|---|---|
| New dietetic product – compressed lozenges based on medicinal plant extracts with antibacterial activity | natural active substances with strong activity even against strains resistant to antibiotics are incorporated into pharmaceutical preparation of compressed lozenge aimed for treatment and protection of oral cavity and pharynx. Stability tests were performed (accelerated and two year tests). The compressed lozenges were produced on industrial level | University of Belgrade, Economic Institute (Belgrade) |
| Bioactive semisolid and liquid phytopreparations | natural active substances with strong activity even against strains resistant to antibiotics are incorporated into pharmaceutical preparations for topical applications (cream, spray, ear and nose drops, vaginal tablets ets.). The cream was tested in vivo for antibacterial activity in dogs. Anti-inflammatory activity of the cream was tested in humans. Obtained results proved strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity. Unlike antibiotics, application of this product does not contribute to the bacterial resistance. | University of Belgrade, Institute for medicinal plant research “Dr Josif Pančić”, Faculty of medicine University of Niš and Economic Institute (Belgrade). |
