Scientists in Michigan are reporting discovery of the secret behind the fabled healing power of the main ingredient in turmeric – a spice revered in India as “holy powder.” Their study on the ingredient, curcumin, appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, a weekly publication.

In the study, Ayyalusamy Ramamoorthy and colleagues point out that turmeric has been used for centuries in folk medicine to treat wounds, infections, and other health problems. Although modern scientific research on the spice has burgeoned in recent years, scientists until now did not know exactly how curcumin works inside the body.

Reaxys, the new workflow solution for chemists, was released in January.

How can Reaxys help you as a researcher?

This innovative solution delivers exactly what you need.

  • Synthesis planner: compares synthesis routes across publications and get a single overview enabling you to reach the appropriate route faster
  • Superior reaction content: content from top journals and patent literature, selected by experts
  • Filter and rank your search results according to preference – key properties, synthesis yield or other criteria
  • Commercially available chemicals are flagged to directories (eMolecules and Symyx ACD): avoid synthesizing unnecessary compounds
  • Additional search capabilities – you can generate structure queries from chemical names


Interested in more information or a free trial?

Take a look here for more details
Sincerely,
The Reaxys Team

FDA’s decision “marks the dawn of a new era in medical therapeutics,” Thomas B. Okarma, president and CEO of Geron, said during a teleconference briefing. GRNOPC1 is intended to “permanently reverse disease pathology, not merely to temporarily relieve symptoms,” he noted.

Mr Yadunandan, was here in Leuven for an acedemeic ceremony at facultry of Theology, KU Leuven. As I have visited ISCON Temple Radhadesh

It was the annual New Year’s Lunch Party for Rega Institute’s Med Chem Team at Groot Begijnhof.

As we were leaving after finishing our lunch, he was curious to see five indians in the team and asked, if I am from Pune (India). I told that I am from Lucknow, if he knows..He said he knows Saxena (Dr Anil Kumar Saxena, AK Saxena) there and has collaboration with around 60 labs in India. As I did my PhD from there (CDRI, Lucknow) and worked in Dr Saxena’s lab (I was working in Tripathi Research Group).
