Members of a new class of antivirals are being tested in U.S. clinical trials, and one has gained approval in Japan, but how ...

Chemical structures called cyclopropanes can increase the potency of many drugs, but traditional methods to create this structure require highly reactive -- potentially explosive -- ingredients. Now, ...

How does one identify something no one has a test for? Designer drugs replicate the effects of known, illicit drugs but evade law enforcement. The chemical structure variations that help these ...

WASHINGTON, Aug. 20, 2025 — How do you identify something no one has a test for? Designer drugs replicate the effects of known, illicit drugs but evade law enforcement. The chemical structure ...

Researchers have used single carbon atom doping to form four chemical bonds in one step. Gamma-lactams (cyclic molecules that are common in antibiotics) were easily synthetically accessible from alpha ...

UC Davis researchers have developed a new method that uses light to transform amino acids - the building blocks of proteins - ...

Sajish Mathew receives funding from NIH COBRE grant (P20GM109091). The effects a drug or chemical compound have on the body depend on how its atoms are arranged in space. Some compounds have a dark ...

Computational Chemistry is the study of complex chemical problems using a combination of computer simulations, chemistry theory and information science. Also called cheminformatics, this field enables ...

Previously undescribed chemical process may offer safer, more practical way to create cyclopropanes—a key feature in many drugs and drug-candidates. UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Chemical structures called ...
