STRANGE NEWS: #Khat litters the #USA
UK INDEPENDENT: Thousands of pounds of the #Drug khat have been smuggled into the U.S. over the past month — but what exactly is it?
Khat, which is pronounced like “cot,” is a flowering evergreen shrub typically grown in parts of #Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.
The shrub’s leaves can be chewed for their #Stimulant-like effect, according to the #DEA....
People using khat often store it in their cheeks, like #ChewingTobacco,

Health groups call on expected next PM to rip up agreement, which analysis suggests could lead to 229,000 excess deaths by 2036

Excited to share our paper in Journal of Medicinal #Chemistry exploring carbobicyclic nucleoside analogues as potential #antivirals!
We swapped the ribose oxygen for a carbon in nucleoside analogues and explored this novel scaffold.
From our library, several compounds showed activity against #HCV, #HSV, #influenza, and #RSV. One uracil-based analogue stood out by inhibiting multiple viruses like #flu and HCV. Modeling suggests it “locks” the viral active site instead of being incorporated into RNA.
What really surprised us: nucleobases with known antiviral effects (like NHC from molnupiravir) didn’t work in our scaffold—but unmodified uracil did. The scaffold itself changes how these molecules behave.
Encouragingly, these compounds phosphorylate efficiently in cells without needing prodrugs, don't inhibit human polymerases, and our #synthesis is efficient: 28 pyrimidine and 35 purine analogues from just two intermediates in under 10 steps.
Huge thanks to all collaborators and colleagues who made this work possible!

@MelissaBearTrix wow, I would rate injectable #drugs far better than any #advertisement and I'm sure I would get a backing of support by a number of people who hate #marketing and #ads and would prefer an injectable #drug anyday.... Most drugs are injectable, even all those fun drugs that are prohibited by our backwards government...

#Drugcrisis deepens our #economic woes
"urine testing suggests tt actual number of #amphetamine users cld exceed 5 million, or 7.6% of population. With the cost of an amphetamine tablet ~30 baht, drugs hv become increasingly accessible to low-income earners, driving the # of users even higher. >95% of #drugaddicts in #Thailand r btw 15-59 yrs old..

Организатор даркнет-маркетплейса Hydra получил пожизненный срок :blobfoxshocked:
Московский областной суд приговорил организатора даркнет-площадки Hydra, Станислава Моисеева, к пожизненному заключению и штрафу в ₽4 млн.
Его 15 сообщников получили сроки от 8 до 23 лет и общие штрафы в ₽16 млн.
Все обвиняемые признаны виновными в организации преступной группировки и незаконном производстве наркотиков.
Суд также конфисковал их имущество и продолжает арест активов для выплаты штрафов.
Hydra существовала с 2015 года и достигла транзакций до $2 млрд, предлагая наркотики, оружие и поддельные документы.
Расследование, начавшееся в 2016 году с участием правоохранителей из Германии и США, завершилось ликвидацией Hydra в 2022 году, после чего было конфисковано биткоинов на сумму около €23 млн.

Fantastic. Inspirational, that MD introduced a bill to make this easier. Cautionary, that insurance companies haven't heard of these. GOOD NEWS STORY will send you into the weekend w/ a smile.

Chemical tweaks to a #toad #hallucinogen turns it into a potential #drug
Targets a different #serotonin receptor from other popular #hallucinogens.
The Colorado River toad (Incilius alvarius), also known as the Sonoran Desert toad, secretes a #psychedelic compound that likes to bind to a different #serotoninreceptor subtype called #5HT1A. And that difference may be the key to developing an entirely distinct class of #antidepressants.

CW: #TooMuchInfo
Prolly loose some followers with this one - but it needs saying.
I think much of #sports are #institutionalized #trauma #training for #men. A lot like #military basic training.
Men are trained to fight. Damaged with #fear and #aggression from early ages.
Women may want #equality - but I’m not sure they understand the #cost. Look at #incarceration, #drug addictions, #suicides - they all skew #male.
We should treat our #boys better.

Federal #court in #Texas dismissed #lawsuit brought by heavy-hitting #pharmaceutical trade group, #PhRMA, which argued forcing #drug makers to negotiate #Medicare #drugprices is #unconstitutional. The big pharmaceutical companies suing government directly over negotiations include J&J, #BristolMyersSquibb, #NovoNordisk, #Merck, and #AstraZeneca. District Judge David Ezra found they first need to bring claims through an administrative review process under the #MedicareAct https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/02/judge-tosses-big-pharma-suit-claiming-drug-price-negotiation-is-unconstitutional/

On Tuesday, #Johnson & #Johnson became the latest drugmaker to take the Biden administration to federal court in an attempt to put a #halt to the #drug #pricing #program. Three other drug companies — #Merck, #Bristol #Myers #Squibb and #Astellas #Pharma — have filed their own lawsuits, as have the industry’s main trade group and the U.S. #Chamber of #Commerce.
The suits make similar and overlapping claims that the drug pricing provisions are #unconstitutional. They are scattered in federal courts around the country — a tactic that experts say gives the industry a better chance of obtaining #conflicting #rulings that will put the legal challenges on a fast track to a business-friendly #Supreme #Court.
