Phthalazinone pyrazoles as potent, selective, and orally bioavailable inhibitors of Aurora-A kinase
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Share
  
The inhibition of Aurora kinases in order to arrest mitosis and subsequently inhibit tumor growth via apoptosis of proliferating cells has generated significant discussion within the literature. We report a novel class of Aurora kinase inhibitors based upon a phthalazinone pyrazole scaffold. The development of the phthalazinone template resulted in a potent Aurora-A selective series of compounds that display good pharmacological profiles with significantly improved oral bioavailability.

Ab initio study of key branching reactions in biodiesel and Fischer-Tropsch fuels
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
  
Many biologically and Fischer–Tropsch synthesized fuels contain branched alkanes which, during their combustion and atmospheric oxidation mechanism, produce methylalkyl radicals. As a result, an accurate description of the chemistry of these species is essential to integrating these fuels into our energy systems.

China prepares for big entry into vaccine market
The Associated Press via Bioscience Technology Share
  
China's vaccine makers are gearing up over the next few years to push exports in a move that should lower costs of lifesaving immunizations for the world's poor and provide major new competition for the big Western pharmaceutical companies. However, it may take some time before some parts of the world are ready to embrace Chinese products when safety is as sensitive an issue as it is with vaccines.

Princeton technique puts chemistry breakthroughs on the fast track
Lab Manager Share
  
Scientists can now take that "a-ha" moment to go with a method Princeton University researchers developed and successfully tested to speed up the chances of an unexpected yet groundbreaking chemical discovery. The researchers report this month in the journal Science a technique to accomplish "accelerated serendipity" by using robotics to perform more than 1,000 chemical reactions a day with molecules never before combined.

Reductive carboxylation supports growth in tumour cells with defective mitochondria
Nature Share
  
Mitochondrial metabolism provides precursors to build macromolecules in growing cancer cells. In normally functioning tumour cell mitochondria, oxidative metabolism of glucose- and glutamine-derived carbon produces citrate and acetyl-coenzyme A for lipid synthesis, which is required for tumorigenesis.

Where does Geron's exit from embryonic stem cells leave the field?
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News Share
  
Geron, a pioneer in stem cell research founded in 1990, announced on Nov. 14 that it was halting its stem cell therapeutics programs to conserve funds. Geron had been developing cell products from differentiated human embryonic stem cells for multiple indications. The company is viewed as the leader in stem cell therapies because of its patents on technology used to grow, manipulate and inject stem cells into the human body.

Low paternity skew and the influence of maternal kin in an egalitarian, patrilocal primate
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Share
  
Levels of reproductive skew vary in wild primates living in multimale groups depending on the degree to which high-ranking males monopolize access to females. Still, the factors affecting paternity in egalitarian societies remain unexplored. We combine unique behavioral, life history and genetic data to evaluate the distribution of paternity in the northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus), a species known for its affiliative, nonhierarchical relationships.

Neutrinos beat light speed once again
Popular Science Share
  
Remember in September when neutrinos were observed moving faster than the speed of light, potentially overturning everything we thought we knew about physics? It was met with all sorts of skepticism and dubiety, so the physicists decided to replicate their experiment and take new measurements. Well, the new results are in, and they confirm the original findings.
