1. Structures searching within articles Some RSC journal articles have been enhanced to enable structure searching. You can enter a SMILES string or draw the structure that you are looking for - or paste in a structure from ChemDraw or IsisDraw. http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/structuresearch.asp 2. Molecules of the Month (April 2008) Escitalopram: selective serotonin uptake inhibitor, used as an antidepressant. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP): most widely used plasticizer for PVC and other plastics. Cyclopentadiene: precursor to the popular cyclopentadienyl-ligand ('Cp') in in organometallic chemistry. Sulfuric acid: extremely important chemical used in the manufacture of fertilisers and explosives. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Rilonacept: a targeted inhibitor of IL-1, shown to improve overall CAPS (Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes) symptom scores. http://www.prous.com/molecules/default.asp?ID=170 3. Upcoming Organic Synthesis Conferences (April 2008) Modern Synthetic Methods & Chiral Europe 2nd International Symposium on Green Processing in the Pharmaceutical & Fine Chemical Industries
Chempod is an audio show which features important research from the Nature journals as well as interviews with the people behind the science, in-depth commentary, location reports and analysis from journalists covering chemistry around the world. Main topics of the March/April 2008 episode are catalysis and Alzheimer's drug candidates.
