Researchers at the UC Davis Institute for Psychedelics and Neurotherapeutics have found a route to synthesize the psychoactive drug ibogaine and related compounds. This will make it easier to study ...

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 ...

According to Olson, the research was 10 years in the making with the team exploring multiple synthesis routes, each with varying levels of effectiveness. “A lot of these iboga alkaloids and ibogaine ...

Understanding the impact of MOF synthesis conditions on the production cost is vital in order to have a competitive product with a view toward industrial applications. Here, considering the benchmark ...

Turning carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful chemicals is a compelling avenue towards minimizing our CO2 emissions and curbing climate change. Photocatalysts, which can be designed to leverage energy ...

This was achieved through the modification of an established reagent to prevent unwanted reactions with water molecules, allowing for a more straightforward synthesis route. It is hoped that the ...

Synthetic routes to pharmaceuticals greatly expanded leading to new and more effective treatments Crystallographers provide medicinal chemists with 1,800 additional pharmaceutical building blocks ...

The concept was simple, but, Leproust says, “the engineering was hard.” When you synthesize DNA, she explains, the yield, or success rate, goes down with every base added.
