Medicinal chemistry, also known as pharmaceutical chemistry, is a branch of chemistry focused on the development of new drugs and the improvement of existing ones. It is an interdisciplinary field ...

A surprising lab discovery reveals a light-powered way to tweak complex drugs faster, cleaner, and later in development.

Chemists have developed a light-driven method for producing a rare and highly strained molecular structure known as “housane.” Designing a new drug often starts with a basic but difficult task: making ...

Fake news can be tricky to spot, but spotting fake drugs just got a little easier. Researchers have devised a low-cost way to help distinguish legitimate medications from counterfeit ones.

The search for new ways to treat malaria — a disease that kills some 600,000 people a year, most of them children in Sub-Saharan Africa — may have just gotten a boost. Chemists at UC San Francisco ...

The human body consists of over 30 trillion cells, and there’s a lot happening inside every cell. Just like the human body has organs that perform a specific function, cells have organelles that ...

Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have increased the effectiveness of a standard antibiotic by a factor ...
