A novel method of delivering a hydrophobic (water-insoluble) drug,
in which the compound effectively acts as its own carrier, has
shown comparable efficacy both in vitro and in
vivo to the same drug formulated in a conventional delivery...
A new concept to develop a more accurate method for rapidly
screening chemical compounds has been unveiled, which the
researchers say will significantly aid in identifying leads for
drug development and discovery.
BioFocus enters a new class of compound libraries with its
collection of novel low molecular weight compounds. The compilation
will allow drug researchers to find ligands that bind to proteins
without having to invest in specialised...
Canadian researchers have a developed a new chemical reaction that
