For decades, cannabis growers have stripped the leaves off their plants and thrown them away. The flowers hold the ...

In the world of organic chemistry, nitrogen-containing organic compounds are ubiquitous, forming the backbone of ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new layer of complexity in Cannabis, identifying dozens of previously unknown compounds—including the first-ever evidence of rare molecules called flavoalkaloids ...

A Texas A&M University study published in Nutrients has identified how compounds in coffee activate NR4A1, a receptor tied to stress response, inflammation, metabolism, and tissue repair. Researchers ...

Scientists don’t know the limits of chemical space—the collection of all possible molecules—but a new analysis concludes chemists have discovered new compounds in that space at an exponential rate ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The synthetic pesticides used to control bed bug infestations face two problems: the insects are gaining a tolerance to them, and many consumers are looking for “green” ...

Roasted coffee may do more than wake you up—it could help control blood sugar. Researchers discovered several new coffee compounds that inhibit α-glucosidase, a key enzyme linked to type 2 diabetes.

Researchers at MIT and other institutions have identified compounds that can fight off viral infection by activating a defense pathway inside host cells. These compounds, they believe, could be used ...

The idea behind the caging technique is that a molecule of interest can be rendered biologically inert (or caged) by chemical modification with a photoremovable protecting group (Fig. 1). Illumination ...
