Kemin Industries' pharmaceutical focus is on finding solutions for unmet medical needs. We aggressively uncover novel molecules with the potential to cure infections caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Our research also targets new, resistant strains with alternative approaches.
Although several marketed anti-infectives remain efficacious, innovative new drugs will become increasingly important in the treatment of serious infections as resistant strains emerge. Which is why Kemin takes a unique approach.
Our molecules are fundamentally different from those currently marketed or researched by the pharmaceutical industry. They have a distinct 3-D structure and can contain several chiral centers. Kemin scientists are distinctive as well. With their unparalleled expertise in organic chemistry, Kemin can produce these compounds in an enantiomeric pure form.
Our Products
Deadly hospital outbreaks of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) have been blamed on an emerging, lethal strain of Clostridium difficile. As with antibiotic associated diarrhea (AAD), CDAD often stems from antibiotics-related pathogen overgrowth in the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, travel, stress and other factors can disrupt good digestive and gastrointestinal health.
In response, Kemin has developed a proprietary product, Bacillus subtilis Strain PB6. As a safe probiotic marketed under the brand name Anaeban™, Bacillus subtilis Strain PB6 is intended to promote the growth and activity of health-stimulating bacteria in the intestinal tract. Anaeban is of benefit for the gastrointestinal and digestive health issues that may be associated with antibiotic usage, travel and stress. At a higher dosage, Bacillus subtilis Strain PB6 is intended to be marketed under the brand name Inflammaban™. Inflammaban™ is currently under research and development for indications that include ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and irritable bowel syndrome, as well as AAD and CDAD.
