NitroPep

NitroPep is a UK private company and University of Birmingham spinout developing antimicrobial and antiviral coating technologies for high-touch surfaces and air filtration systems. Its core technology bonds antimicrobial actives to metal and plastic surfaces to rapidly kill pathogens on contact, with published and institutional reports describing activity against organisms including MRSA, Escherichia coli, fungi, and SARS-CoV-2. The company appears to operate more as a healthcare materials and infection-prevention technology developer than as a therapeutic drug developer. NitroPep has also worked with partners on coated air filters intended for transport and built-environment applications. The business is active and privately held, with a registered office in County Durham, England.
