Pharmaceutical Reviews (Associate Editor) Although the threat posed by antibiotic-resistant germs to human life is real, it takes a long time for new antibiotics to be developed. The solution may lie in a class of tried-and-true medications that have been used to treat cancer for years. The development of a brand-new class of antibiotics is currently underway at Linköping University in Sweden.Numerous medications and therapeutic candidates have demonstrated exceptional efficacy in eliminating germs or malignant cells. They are used extremely rarely or not at all because of the issue that they also injure the patient. They are administered straight into the circulation and distributed throughout the body when used to treat conditions like cancer. However, Linköping University researchers are currently working on a technique to deliver potent molecules in a way that is safer, which they think may create new treatment options for a number of disorders.
