A new non-addictive class of compounds developed by researchers at Purdue’s College of Pharmacy could lead to the treatment of chronic pain conditions, such as back pain and arthritis, in the absence ...

Using artificial intelligence, researchers discovered a class of compounds that can kill methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a drug-resistant bacterium that causes more than 10,000 ...

Clinical failure in the pharmaceutical industry remains at a staggering 90%. Failed drugs are costly, both financially and in terms of human suffering. The debate rages on about how best to fix the ...

An interdisciplinary team presents a new class of chemical compounds that can be reversibly oxidized and reduced. The compounds known as 'pyrazinacenes' are simple, stable compounds that consist of a ...

Many cancer therapies, in addition to producing numerous side effects, fail to achieve complete tumour remission, partly due to the presence of cancer stem cells, which are difficult to eradicate.

A new class of experimental drugs reduces hot flushes in menopausal women by almost three-quarters in just three days. The treatment, tested by scientists at Imperial College London, also reduces the ...

Scientists at Uppsala University have discovered a new class of antibiotics with potent activity against multi-drug resistant bacteria, and have shown that it cures bloodstream infections in mice. The ...

Using a type of artificial intelligence known as deep learning, MIT researchers have discovered a class of compounds that can kill a drug-resistant bacterium that causes more than 10,000 deaths in the ...
