The Scripps Research Institute researchers have achieved a laboratory breakthrough in developing a new method to make complex natural compounds, known as polyhydroxylated steroids, which are used in the manufacture of heart failure medications and other drugs. The researchers demonstrated the new strategy by synthesizing ouabagenin [wa-bah-jenn-in], a close chemical cousin of ouabain, which Somali tribes once used as a potent poison on the tips of their arrows ...Sunday, 6 January 2013
Researchers Develop New Method to Synthesize Naturally Occurring Life-Saving Steroids on Large Scale
The Scripps Research Institute researchers have achieved a laboratory breakthrough in developing a new method to make complex natural compounds, known as polyhydroxylated steroids, which are used in the manufacture of heart failure medications and other drugs.
