Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used to alleviate pain, inflammation, swelling, and fever through inhibition of cyclooxygenase enzymes COX-1 and COX-2.

Rapamycin is an immunosuppressive agent widely used to prevent transplant rejection in organ recipients. Its primary mechanism of action involves inhibition of mTOR signaling through complex formation with FK-binding protein 12 (FKBP12), which prevents mTOR activation. As a result, ...

9-cis Retinoic Acid is a biologically active form of vitamin A and serves as an endogenous ligand for retinoid X receptors (RXRs). Like other retinoids, it also activates retinoic acid receptors (RARs). Retinoids are critical regulators of numerous cellular processes, including cell ...

Phytoalexins are naturally occurring secondary metabolites synthesized by plants in response to environmental stressors such as fungal infection, heavy metal exposure, or ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Statins are a class of compounds widely used for their antihyperlipidemic activity, clinically prescribed to lower plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol. Their primary mechanism of action is the inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase, a key enzyme in cholesterol ...

Watercress (Nasturtium officinale), a cruciferous vegetable, is rich in isothiocyanate compounds. These compounds exhibit anticancer properties and can induce Phase II detoxifying enzyme activity. The primary bioactive component of watercress is phenethyl isothiocyanate (PEITC), followed by ...

Resveratrol is a stilbene-type phytoalexin found in the skins and seeds of grapes, as well as in various other plants such as peanuts, soybeans, and mulberries. Similar to other phytoalexins, resveratrol exhibits diverse bioactivities, including antioxidant, anticancer, neuroprotective, and ...

A paper published August 24 at Org. Process Res. Dev by Professor Sean M. Kell et al. describes a robust and efficient continuous flow process technique for the synthesis of quinazoline organozinc reagents for KRAS G12C inhibitor divarasib.
