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, ...

After training as a mathematician and physicist, Felix Wong, PhD, developed a keen interest in biology. He found the perfect fit in the lab of James J. Collins, PhD, at MIT, where he started using ...

The FDA and EMA require CNS penetrant drug candidates to be assessed for abuse potential. As part of this assessment, the chemical similarity to known drugs of abuse is analyzed. Scitegrity Limited ...

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 ...

The Phase 1 study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic activity of ACCG-2671 in both healthy volunteers and individuals with obesity. The study will ...

Researchers have developed new drugs that encourage the mitochondria in our cells to work a little harder and burn more calories.

Scientists test safer mitochondrial drugs to boost calorie burn, fight obesity Australian researchers report experimental ...

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 ...
