Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a "capping-and-coupling" strategy to transform ...

Tsukuba, Japan – Rarely is a tool more useful when it’s broken, but that’s just the case with C-glycoside, a molecule found in many plants, foods, and medicines. To be used by the body, C-glycosides ...

For medicinal chemists, C-glycosides hit something of a sweet spot. These molecules contain a sugar and a nonsugar group tied together by a carbon-carbon bond that is sturdier than the carbon-oxygen ...

C‐glycosides and nucleosides represent pivotal building blocks in modern synthetic chemistry, underpinning advances in drug development and natural product synthesis. C‐glycosides, characterised by a ...

GUELPH, ONT. – Howtian has received a “no questions” letter from the US Food and Drug Administration for the use of the company’s enzyme-modified steviol glycosides as a sweetener in foods. “The ...

International food standards body Codex Alimentarius has adopted a Framework for steviol glycosides that encompasses four different production technologies in a move that is expected to ‘benefit the ...

New research investigates how foxgloves create medicinal compounds, with an eye toward improving the process. Specifically, the lab is investigating the chemical processes the plants use to create ...

To understand better and more deeply appreciate the development of knowledge in this field, it is desirable to begin with the simpler aspects of the action of these glycosides and then to proceed to ...

Highly purified Stevia extracts (Steviol Glycosides like Reb-A), which are approved as safe, are a beneficial zero-calorie alternative to sugar, particularly for blood sugar management and weight loss ...

A 67-year-old Chinese woman presented to the emergency department with a three-day history of nausea and vomiting, palpitations and chest discomfort. Her symptoms had started suddenly a few hours ...
