Flavonoid molecules, like rugosaflavonoids, podocarflavone, and isoflavone found to inhibit tuberculosis and chikungunya, have so far been isolated from plants. For the first time, scientists have unearthed the route to synthesize the molecules in the lab, paving the path for ensuring their availability at all seasons without overexploiting the medicinal ...

First synthesis path for tuberculosis & chikungunya inhibiting flavonoid molecules deciphered
Flavonoid molecules, like rugosaflavonoids, podocarflavone, and isoflavone found to prevent tuberculosis and chikungunya, have so far been isolated from plants. For the first time, scientists have manage to synthesize the molecules in the lab, paving the path for ensuring their availability at all seasons without overexploiting the medicinal plants that ...

Astronomers observe cosmic steam jets and molecules galore
The ALMA telescope in Chile has transformed how we see the universe, showing us otherwise invisible parts of the cosmos. This array of incredibly precise antennas studies a comparatively high-frequency sliver of radio light: waves that range from a few tenths of a millimeter to several millimeters in length. Recently, ... Read More »
Organic molecules on Saturn’s moon indicate possibility of life
Researchers, who used data from the NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, think chemical reactions between the moon’s rocky core and warm water from its subsurface ocean are linked to these complex molecules. “We are, yet again, blown away by Enceladus. Previously we’d only identified the simplest organic molecules containing a few carbon ... Read More »
