Nature Chemistry | The Sceptical Chymist
Don’t call it a comeback…
There’s been quite a bit of buzz about a recent Nature Chemical Biology paper from Chong et al. (the work was featured in CE&N, Chemistry World, and Reuters.com). The authors created a library of 2,687 existing drugs and screened them for inhibitors of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. (“”https://www.rsc.org/chemistryworld/News/2006/June/03070601.asp”>The [Johns Hopkins Clinical Compound Library] contains 1937 drugs that have been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), along with 750 drugs that have either been approved for use in other countries or are undergoing Phase II clinical trials.”)
