Chemical structures called cyclopropanes can increase the potency and fine-tune the properties of many drugs, but traditional methods to create this structure only work with certain molecules and require highly reactive-;potentially explosive-;ingredients. Now, a team of researchers from Penn State has identified and demonstrated a safe, efficient and practical way to create cyclopropanes on a wide variety of molecules using a previously undescribed chemical process.
FDA Plans to Ease Requirements for Biosimilars’ Interchangeable Status
The FDA on Thursday announced that biosimilars seeking an interchangeable status would no longer require studies showing that switching between a biosimilar and its branded
