Racemic or enantiomerically pure alcohols can be converted with high yield into enantiopure chiral amines in a one-pot redox-neutral cascade process by the clever combination of an alcohol ...

Acute bronchiolitis in infants frequently results in hospitalization, but there is no established consensus on inhalation therapy — either the type of medication or the frequency of administration — ...

In chemistry, breaking a mirror isn’t always a harbinger of bad luck. Using a trio of catalysts and some blue light, researchers have transformed a racemic mixture of mirror-image molecules into a ...

Albuterol is a selective β 2-agonist that is widelyused in the prevention and treatment of reactive airwaydisease. It is formulated as a racemic mixturecontaining equal parts of the R- and ...

Some research shows a new drug called ketamine is effective in the treatment of depression. Ketamine is available in two forms: Esketamine and racemic ketamine. Racemic ketamine (used in ketamine ...

From 2001 to 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration approved 9 single-enantiomer drugs with racemic precursors. None showed pre-approval evidence of improved efficacy over the racemic precursor. We ...

Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the racemic metasurface. (a) Arbitrary polarization-wavefront conversion. (b) Racemic "super-units". Chirality is one of the fundamental phenomena widely present in ...

NEW WORK SUGGESTS that a technique called racemic crystallography could help structural biologists get high-quality protein crystals of tough-to-crystallize proteins. The idea that a racemic protein ...

The racemic compound (R, S)-(±)-ibuprofen is a popular and well understood active pharmaceutical ingredient, but it has several disadvantageous formulation properties such as poor solubility, low ...
