  2. 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,

  3. The women & girl, who are not named in the indictments, represent only a fraction of the dozens of women federal prosecutors say the brothers used their #wealth & status to lure, #drug & #SexuallyAssault & #rape going back 2 decades to their high school years.

    The 3 men pleaded not guilty to the initial charges & are expected to soon be taken back into Manhattan federal court to be arraigned on the new charges.

    34 #motorists to be charged with #drinkdriving betw Aug & Dec
    "34 motorists aged btw 24 & 63 will be charged on Dec 19 with #drink #driving.. Statistics provided by the #police showed that there were 10 #deaths from 123 #accidents caused by drink driving in the 1st 9 months of 2024. Some 1,260 people were #arrested for drink driving in the same period"

  5. The synthesis of #drug libraries is key in drug discovery but can be inefficient, especially in small labs. Jiang Weng and colleagues at Sun Yat-Sen University (#Guangzhou #China) propose a reagent-free sulfamide coupling strategy to form bifunctional molecules. This method allows the coupling of acid and amine on a 96-well plate without additives published in the journal Angewandte Chemie.

  6. Experimental #antibiotic kills deadly #superbug, opens whole new class of #drugs
    Relatively large molecule clogs a transport system, leading to lethal toxicity. In this case, the new #drug—dubbed #zosurabalpin—fights off the #GramNegative #bacterium carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, aka CRAB. Though it may sound obscure, it's an opportunistic, invasive #bacteria that often strikes hospitalized and critically ill patients, causing deadly #infections worldwide. arstechnica.com/science/2024/0

  7. Small review about synthetic routes to #antiviral #drug remdesivir. Including first described synthesis by Gilead in #Nature, but also the approach from Benjamin List in Angewandte Chemie.
