Nutraceuticals

The Nutraceuticals area produces and characterizes fractionated extracts from natural products and residues, for the definition of health claims. Bioactivity tests are performed namely in terms of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative and antimicrobial activities. In vitro ADME studies, related to permeability and metabolic interaction with drugs are also performed to further evaluate bioavailability. These studies can be complemented with in vivo bioavailability studies.
