Dear Colleagues and Partners,
We are delighted to announce a significant milestone in the engagement between Medika Natura Sdn Bhd and Universiti Malaya (UM). Both organizations will be signing a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to formalize our collaboration on PERVIRA® Clinical Research, which focuses on complications related to Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD). This partnership represents an important step towards advancing clinical research and driving healthcare innovation in Malaysia.
PERVIRA®, a pharma-grade formulation derived from Kaempferia parviflora, is widely recognized for its health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, metabolic, and cardiovascular effects. The primary bioactive compound in PERVIRA®, 5,7-Dimethoxyflavone (DMF), has gained attention for its multi-faceted role in enhancing muscle protein synthesis, improving mitochondrial function, and reducing inflammation—key factors implicated in the pathogenesis of IHD.
The signing ceremony will take place during the Selangor Life Sciences Convention 2024, from October 16 to 19, 2024, at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center (KLCC). This prestigious event will gather leaders from both industry and academia, providing a platform to explore new opportunities for engagement in the life sciences sector.
