Biotechnology Awards 2024

4 Headquartered in Taiwan, Fethiann Molecule Applied Co., Ltd. is an innovative research and development company dedicated to leveraging the power of bioactive extracts like Magnolia Figo and Litsea Cubeba to support the health of people across the world following the Covid-19 pandemic. To this end, the company supplies the biotechnology industry with natural medicinal extracts, as well as providing comprehensive solutions to the health science, pharmaceutical, and food and beverage sectors. Native to Taiwan, Magnolia Figo is an evergreen tree that is often cultivated as an ornamental plant for its fragrant cream-white, yellow, or purple flowers. Fethiann was the first to discover the precious components of natural Magnolia Figo extract, which are rich in phytochemicals and possess significant medicinal value, making them highly sought after. This inspired the company to develop a special concoction using customised extraction equipment with unique parameters. Ten kilograms of Magnolia Figo can be harvested and bioprocessed to produce one gram of the pure, highly active extract, which has the potential to treat non-small cell lung cancer, relieve atopic dermatitis, heal wounds, and more. These solutions and patents belong exclusively to Fethiann, which is why the extract is named FMO®️ (Fethiann Magnoliafigo Only). Fethiann’s mission is centred around solving the health issues faced by people across the world and helping to provide those afraid of disease with peace of mind. To accomplish this, the company combines molecular technology extraction, Molecurique®️ (Molecular Unique), with green energy, natural plants, and phytochemistry, driving advancements in biomedicine for the benefit of human health. It strives to share the unbelievable natural power of its discoveries with people and their families. Another product developed by Fethiann is a special herbal hydrogel named FLC®️ , made from the herbal plant Lauraceae of Litsea Cubeba. It is a valuable plant traditionally used to treat headaches, muscle aches, arthritis, and insect bites in Taiwan. Previous research also suggests that it has good antibacterial and anti-inflammatory abilities, but no systematic research on gouty joint inflammation had been carried out, and there was no scientific development model for topical products. This inspired Fethiann to develop a thermosensitive smart hydrogel for topical dressings, containing supercritical fluid extract of Litsea Cubeba fruit. In research, the company used UV light to graft and polymerise temperature sensitive polymers, which were then used to coat the extract. The resulting gel was applied to an experimental animal and found to significantly reduce swelling and inhibit inflammation, making it useful for topical dressings. Furthermore, with the addition of a promoter, the product’s positive effects came into fruition faster. Fethiann believes that its patented raw materials, obtained from natural and native plants using biotechnology processes, are at the core of its work. The company’s patents not only protect its technological developments and prevent competition from counterfeits but also enable it to license its products to others and earn licensing fees, thus attracting more investment and collaboration opportunities. Furthermore, proper patent deployment can enhance the negotiating value of products in licensing discussions and instil greater trust in the company amongst consumers and investors. Fethiann’s patented raw materials have a variety of potential applications, including life science research and the consumers market of healthcare. As a result, the company’s customer base is broad, ranging from Biomedical Research Organisations to other enterprises in the medical materials, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food and beverage industries. Fethiann is honoured to serve clients in so many industries and proud of the role it plays in enhancing the daily lives of people across the world. Now standing out as a leading research and development company in the field of herbal extracts, Fethiann owes its success to its exceptional team, who play a crucial role in its ability to consistently meet the needs of consumers and achieve its corporate objectives. For this reason, the company strives to foster cohesion, efficiency, and high performance amongst its workforce by creating a sense of belonging, providing encouragement, and championing team spirit. Fethiann’s team is also expected to adhere to the organisation’s three core values: quality, responsibility, and sustainability. Quality Herb Extract Research Innovator of the Year 2024 - APAC
