Researchers have achieved total chemical synthesis of the psychoactive compound ibogaine and its analogs from pyridine. The discovery will make it easier to explore the therapeutic possibilities of ...

"Although the α-D-ribofuranoside structure is frequently found in natural products, there have been fewer reports of the synthesis of α-D-ribofuranosides than of the β-anomers. Thus, the ...

In contrast to conventional organic synthesis, mechanochemistry does not use solvents that eventually become industrial wastes. Thus, mechanochemistry is environmentally friendly and enables us to ...

Aspirin-induced bronchoconstriction is thought to be caused by the shunting of the arachidonic acid metabolism away ... leads to exaggerated cysteinyl LT synthesis only in AIA patients due to ...

By inhibiting the COX pathway, aspirin diverts arachidonic acid metabolites to the LO pathway ... along with an increase in the synthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTs). Evidence suggests ...
