Eco-Pharma Division Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A division of the institute that pursues research integrating drug discovery science and clinical pharmacy.
AboutAbout the lab
A drug discovery research hub that also explores new uses for existing drugs
The Eco-Pharma Division is one of the divisions of the Green Pharma Institute of the Systems Drug Discovery Research Center at Kyushu University.
The institute conducts research combining drug discovery science and clinical pharmacy, and in recent years has also put effort into drug repositioning research.
The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences has pursued ikuyaku research (Eco-Pharma), which extends approved drugs to new indications.
The researcher information for the division's faculty members lists themes such as the mechanisms of chronic pain and itch and the functions of membrane proteins.
Key terms
- Eco-Pharma
- A method of screening tens of thousands of existing drugs against target molecules found from the mechanisms of a disease.
- Drug repositioning
- Searching for new indications of existing drugs. Its advantage is that information on safety and pharmacokinetics is already available.

The Green Pharma Institute pursues research integrating drug discovery science and clinical pharmacy. It aims to efficiently develop innovative drug candidates and diagnostic markers to overcome serious diseases, including the three major causes of death: cancer, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases.
*Illustrative imageMechanisms of chronic pain and itch
Lecturer Yamashita analyzes the mechanisms by which chronic pain and itch arise and searches for therapeutic drugs. Keywords include neuropathic pain, spinal dorsal root ganglion neurons, and microglia.
*Illustrative imageMembrane protein function and muscle atrophy
Focusing on membrane proteins, Lecturer Kato clarifies their functions in physiological and disease states and explores pharmacological applications. Keywords are transporters, channels, and muscle atrophy.
