Joint Research Project to Discover Medicinal Resources from Marine Organisms Launched

This project seeks to identify previously unknown substances that may have beneficial applications for humanity, including potential new medicinal resources, from marine organisms attached to ship hulls and other surfaces, and to elucidate the effects of those substances.
 
This endeavor led to the discovery of an unknown natural substance, the effects of which were subsequently analyzed in collaboration with Professor NOZAKI Tomoyoshi’s research group at the Graduate School of Medicine at The University of Tokyo.
 
Preliminary results revealed that the substance inhibits the growth of Rhodesian trypanosome, the pathogen responsible for African sleeping sickness*, a disease classified as a “neglected tropical disease.” This finding was presented at the annual meeting of the Chemical Society of Japan in March 2025** by a student from the Iwasaki Laboratory.
 
Building on the outcomes of the initial research, Chuo University and NYK have formalized a five-year joint research agreement. Chuo University’s Iwasaki Laboratory will collect marine organisms, explore unknown natural substances, and evaluate their usefulness, while NYK will primarily facilitate the collection of these marine organisms.
