Analytical chemists from Stellenbosch University (SU) have provided the first evidence of a rare class of phenolics, called flavoalkaloids, in Cannabis leaves. Phenolic compounds, especially flavonoids, are well-known and sought after in the pharmaceutical industry because of their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties. The researchers identified 79 phenolic compounds in three strains of Cannabis grown commercially in South Africa, of …

Cannabis compounds are showing early promise for healthy aging, a new study has found. However, much more research is needed to learn how results might differ depending on the frequency of use and the individual. Researchers in the UK reviewed 18 different studies across 15 years of research (2008 to 2023), involving both animal models and human participants. “By synthesizing …

Scientists Discover Natural Compounds That Clear Alzheimer’s Proteins  SciTechDailyView Full Coverage on Google News Source link

With help from artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have designed novel antibiotics that can combat two hard-to-treat infections: drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae and multi-drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Using generative AI algorithms, the research team designed more than 36 million possible compounds and computationally screened them for antimicrobial properties. The top candidates they discovered are structurally distinct from any existing antibiotics, and they appear …

Nobelium is now the heaviest element to have been directly detected as part of a larger molecule. The new nobelium complexes were created as part of a series of investigations charting the chemistry on the edge of the actinide series. Nobelium is element 102, and is too unstable to exist naturally on Earth. It was first made in particle accelerators in …

August 5, 2025 At a Glance An experimental small molecule alleviated CoQ10 deficiency and reversed associated brain damage in a boy with a rare disease. The results suggest a practical approach to treating inherited diseases involving reduced CoQ10 levels. LuckyStep / Shutterstock Human cells gain their energy by breaking down compounds from food, mainly sugars and fats. This process takes …

Summary: Scientists developed a computational “aging clock” that measures the biological age of brain cells and identifies compounds with rejuvenating potential. By analyzing gene activity from healthy and neurodegenerative brain tissue, they pinpointed 453 interventions predicted to reverse cellular aging. Initial animal tests showed improvements in behavior, cognition, and molecular markers of youth in older mice. This breakthrough paves the …
