Alkylation

Researchers at UC Merced have used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging.

Naloxone and Naltrexone sound alike, look alike chemically, and are both used to counter the misuse of opioids. But pharmacologically, they're strikingly different. This is why the two drugs are used for different purposes. Confused? Let's clear things up.

A promising year for bispecific antibodies

Guess what we don't need. How about an inexpensive and addictive drug called fenethylline (aka captagon) that is pouring out of Syria and addicting hordes of people in Saudi Arabia and neighboring countries? If that's not bad enough it is also used to make jihadist fighters more "effective." There is considerable concern that it could be headed to Europe and the US. And it's super easy to synthesize. Wonderful.

Sundyne will Present a Technical Paper describing how its HMD Kontro Sealless Magnetic Drive Pumps Uniquely Address Safety, Reliability & Complete Fluid Containment Required for Hydrofluoric Acid Alkylation Applications

2019 is a very special year in chemistry. 2019 marks two major anniversaries: the 100th anniversary of the founding of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), and the 150th anniversary of Dimitri Mendeleev's first publication on the Periodic Table of Elements [1]. IUPAC is the global organization that, among many other things, established a common language for chemistry—enabling scientific…

Invasive breast cancer rates among female childhood cancer survivors have modestly fallen over time, especially among survivors younger than 40.

Reports of myocarditis, penile necrosis, and atypical/persistent rash requiring amputation

Direct hydrogenation of CO2 into liquid fuels can mitigate CO2 emissions and reduce the rapid depletion of fossil fuels. Here, the authors show an iron-based multifunctional catalyst that converts CO2to gasoline with high selectivity due to synergistic cooperation of multiple catalytic active sites.

Top news in 2024 included the first CAR-T approval for CLL, triplet regimens, and more

In Texas, Lummus Technology and Next Wave Energy Partners announced the production of what it claims to be the world's first renewable alkylate.  This renewable alkylate, derived from ethanol and produced through a series of Lummus' technologies, is a biobased, low carbon intensity fuel blending component. Leon de Bruyn, President and Chief Executive Officer, Lummus […]

Dose-dependent increase regardless of age at treatment or chest radiotherapy

Organic N-alkyl amines are important chemical products and intermediate with wide applications in the fields of daily chemicals, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, and life sciences. The C–N bonds formed by alkylating reagents (halocarbons, metal halides, etc.) to produce amines usually suffer from low atomic efficiency, poor product selectivity, and chemical contaminants.

Perhaps one of your patients could benefit from clinical trials that have started recruiting patients with prostate cancer.

A research group at Nagoya University in Japan has successfully developed an ultrafast and simple synthetic method for producing indole derivatives. Their findings are expected to make drug production more efficient and increase the range of potential indole-based pharmaceuticals to treat a variety of diseases. Their findings were published in Communications Chemistry.

In Stand 1 C-1A, Sundyne will Showcase its Capabilities and Overall Value Proposition for Energy, Chemical and Petrochemical Applications
