Development Areas
4MEDIKS is working on several development areas
in parallel, joining forces with different institutions,
companies and national and international organisations.
AGRI-FOOD
HOSPITALS
PHARMACEUTICALS
DRINKING WATER
VETERINARY
COSMETICS
High level quality control in keeping with national and international regulations and standards
Our greatest challenge is to become the leading company in Europe for next-generation disinfectants developed from highly bioavailable forms of natural molecules.
AGRI-FOOD
Our division develops active ingredients of botanical origin for use in different processes in the agri-food sector.
We develop pesticides for the eradication of various aggressive pathogens affecting a wide range of plant species from around the world, such as Xylella fastidiosa.
We are also focused on the development of non-toxic industrial disinfection products for fruit and vegetables that guarantee the absence of pathogens such as Salmonella, Listeria and E. Coli, among others.
HOSPITALS
In the hospital disinfection area, we have developed a non-toxic compound that has proven to be effective in eliminating viruses, bacteria, fungi and yeasts.
The fact that it is non-toxic makes this substance the perfect ally for hospital disinfection. However, this is not the key aspect.
Our R&D department has managed to develop a biocidal substance that, once applied, will continue to be effective for ten days on clean surfaces.
Recent studies carried out in a leading Spanish public hospital have demonstrated the effectiveness of this biocide against bacteria found in the hospital setting that are especially resistant, such as Clostridium difficile.
PHARMACEUTICALS
The discovery of a non-toxic substance that eradicates the viruses responsible for sexually transmitted diseases has led us to spend some of our time and resources on development in the pharmaceutical area.
Part of our scientific team is working to develop health products to reduce the transmission of this type of disease and to start a phase 1 process for the development of a medicine against HPV.
DRINKING WATER
We conduct research on innovative non-toxic solutions for disinfecting water for human and animal consumption to eliminate microorganisms contained in the water and that have not been completely eliminated in the previous water treatment phases.
VETERINARY
In this area we have developed non-toxic biocides to disinfect materials and surfaces used in the housing or transporting of animals.
This type of product is essential to prevent the spread of diseases at the time of transport or in areas where animals are housed.
COSMETICS
We develop active ingredients of botanical origin for the cosmetics industry capable of transferring unique features to the final products without altering.
Active ingredients capable of eradicating fungi and bacteria such as Malassezia furfur (related to seborrheic disorders) and Pityrosporum Ovale, the cause of skin acne.
In addition, we have developed the first completely stable antioxidant and preservative of 100 % botanical origin, specially designed for the entire natural cosmetics sector.
