Laboratory of medicinal chemistry is one of the research units of Theodor Bilharz Research Institute that focus on quantitative, qualitative and biological investigation of the different extracts and its isolated compounds from natural resources e.g. plants, marines, microbes….etc.The research work in the laboratory is considered the first steps of the drug discovery from natural resources.The techniques used in this field started with biomass selection followed by extraction, fractionation and chromatographic isolation of different phytochemicals in the extracts. The isolated compounds were structurally identified by different chemical and spectroscopic techniques. All the previous steps done in collaboration side by side with biological investigation (Bioassay guided fractionation and isolation of bioactive natural extracts).   The laboratory staff have an  excellent experience in different chromatographic techniques such as column chromatography (CC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), paper chromatography (PC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with PDA and RID. The Research team of the laboratory had excellent experience in interpretation the data obtained from chromatographic advanced techniques (GC-MS, LC-MS and LC-PDA) and spectroscopic techniques (UV-Vis, IR, MS, HRMS, 1D and 2D NMR). Beside the famous chromatographic techniques found in the laboratory (CC, TLC and PC), there are also some advanced instrument; LC-PDA and UV-Vis spectrometry. Investigation the biological activities of extracts and purified compounds as an antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antischistosomal and hepatoprotective agents in collaboration with other departments.

According to Egypt’s Vision 2030, the medicinal chemistry laboratory has set a future research plan aimed to discovering Egyptian drugs and products from safe natural resources, either in the form of pharmaceutical raw materials or in the form of pure compounds to treat many diseases that fall within TBRI interest. Our vision also to make the laboratory a pioneer in the field of natural products chemistry and applied its research outputs in cooperation with the industry which in turn will be benefit to society. Continuous research and development of methods for extraction and identification of pharmacologically leading compounds from natural resources. Transfer of experience and knowledge by providing a distinguished training service and collaborate researches, especially for researchers from Arab and African countries in the field of drug discovery from natural sources.

Phytochemical and biological evaluation of natural products from different resources (plants, microbes, marines…etc.) that could help in solve many problems facing society as treatment of diseases (drug discovery), industrial and ecological difficulties. Continuous learning and training for young researchers for raising their efficiency and developing their capabilities.
