Discovery is slow, expensive, and uncertain
Most natural candidates are ruled out late, after the budget is gone.
INDUSTRIES · PHARMA
Start with the plants no one has characterized.
Prioritize species, compounds, and mechanisms before the lab. Develop the candidate to extract, fraction, or molecule.
Why it's hard today
Latin American chemistry is underrepresented
Much of the region's flora has never been characterized, so it rarely enters a pipeline.
IP decides early
A promising candidate with no room to protect it is a candidate you can't move forward.
What you can do with Moka
With the platform · Moka BDE
- Predict bioactivity, even in plants with no prior studies.
- Understand likely mechanisms and targets before testing.
- Assess patentability and freedom to operate early.
- Connect your experimental data to what is known about each plant.
With a service
- I have a plant: bring a species of interest, and we find out what it can do.
- I know what I need: bring a target or a therapeutic need, and we find the candidate plants.
- Extract, fraction, or molecule, with an IP assessment.
Questions you can bring us
Every project starts with a question. These are the kind we hear.
- “Which Latin American species could act on this target?”
- “What mechanism could explain this extract's activity?”
- “Is there freedom to operate for this molecule?”
- “Which understudied family should we explore first?”
Frequently asked questions
Does Moka run clinical trials?
No. Moka works in early discovery: prioritizing and developing candidates up to extract, fraction, or molecule.
Does Moka have its own candidates?
Yes. We have a patent pending for an immunomodulator candidate identified through our discovery pipeline.
Are predictions validated?
Predictions are hypotheses to prioritize. Our R&D service takes the selected candidates into the lab.
Clear terms, in writing.
By contract
Data, results and IP are governed by a written agreement for each project.
Traceable origin
Every plant traceable together with the communities.
