ANDOVER, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DeuteRx, LLC, is a research and development-focused biotechnology company dedicated to improving racemic small molecule marketed drugs and drug candidates intended for ...
Making carbon–carbon bonds is hard. Linking racemic mixtures of two alkyls while simultaneously controlling the stereochemistry of both ends of the product is nigh on impossible. Now Gregory Fu, ...
When chemists need to separate one chiral molecule from a mixture of enantiomers—for instance, when synthesizing potential drug molecules—they often turn to high-performance liquid chromatography ...
A racemic mixture of tartaric acid forms mirror-image domains with equal propensity when adsorbed on a copper surface. When one enantiomer is present in a slight excess, however, only ordered domains ...
From 2001 to 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration approved 9 single-enantiomer drugs with racemic precursors. None showed pre-approval evidence of improved efficacy over the racemic precursor. We ...
THE separation of racemic mixtures of optical isomers is still limited, with rare exceptions, to the methods of Pasteur. For this reason the resolution of substances which seem identical in the ...
A quote from Rudolph Buchheim, an experimental pharmacologist who lived from 1820 to 1879, summarizes the nature and importance of studies in drug metabolism, including the pharmacokinetics and ...
This module has been designed to introduce second-year organic chemistry students to the concepts of stereochemistry through the lens of the World Health Organization’s Model List of Essential ...
