Research Area: The Institute’s basic objective is discovery and development of new drugs and contraceptive agents, and development of innovative, economic and environment friendly process technologies for known drugs and drug intermediates. The thrust of research is on tropical diseases (tuberculosis, malaria, leishmaniasis), cardiovascular disorders (dementia, stress), metabolic diseases (diabetes, obesity) and some other problems (ulcers). synthetic routes as well as natural products are explored to obtain drugs. Natural products explored include terrestrial plants, including Indian traditional remedies, and marine flora and fauna for search of novel molecules for drug development. The institute is equipped with latest facilities, infrastructure and expertise to utilize both conventional approaches of drug research as well as target-based molecular approaches utilizing inputs of molecular and structural biology, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, etc. and by utilizing high throughput technologies.
