  1. 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,

  10. Burnham urged to ditch dangerous #UK-US NHS #drug deal

    #Burnham urged to scrap the UK-US trade deal on #medicines as #health organisations and #doctors’ groups warn it is dangerous and prioritises #pharmaceutical company profits over the lives of #NHS #patients

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

  12. Thank you, Monterey PD!

    "September 13, 2024, at 5:47 P.M., #Monterey #Police Officers responded
    to a report of a stolen electric #scooter. The scooter had a #GPS device attached to
    it and the reporting party believed it was located in a wooded area near Mark
    Thomas Drive and Josselyn Canyon Road. Monterey Officers responded to the scene and located a campsite in the wooded area. Inside the campsite, Officers found the stolen scooter, a stolen electric

    This article may contain useful information but it has a misleading headline and does not give the whole picture...

    "This ancient disease still kills 1 million people every year. - A new generation of drugs promised salvation from hepatitis B and C. What went wrong?"

    First 👉 why the word "ancient"? It is irrelevant.🙄 Many human diseases have been around a long time.

    Second 👉 #hepatitisB and #hepatitisC are NOT the same disease at all. One is a double-stranded #DNA virus and the other is a single-stranded #RNA virus. Conflating them just confuses the reader.

    Third 👉 hepatitis B is a #VaccinePreventableDisease. The best way to deal with it is to VACCINATE people, not treat people that did not need to get it in the first place.

    cdc.gov/hepatitis-b/vaccinatio

    This information is not new. There is no vaccine for hepatitis C, so #PublicHealth measures and #drug #treatment are the only options.

  14. On the 1st day of #testimony in #HunterBiden’s federal #gun trial, #jurors heard his audio of his memoir, where he recounted his #drug use in graphic detail. A federal prosecutor told jurors “no one is above the #law,” & defense said the he did not “knowingly” lie when filling out forms to purchase a weapon.

    Prosecutors showed the jury the laptop belonging to Hunter that has long been a target of #RightWing activists & politicians, spurred by #Trump & #RudyGiuliani’s #ConspiracyTheories.

  15. 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.

  16. ‘Astonishing’ #molecular #syringe ferries proteins into human cells
    nature.com/articles/d41586-023
    "Technique borrowed from nature, and honed using artificial intelligence, could spur the development of better #drug-delivery systems.
    Researchers have hijacked a molecular ‘syringe’ that some viruses and bacteria use to infect their hosts, and put it to work delivering potentially# therapeutic proteins into human cells grown in the laboratory."

  17. NPP-669 is a promising #Cidofovir #prodrug acting as #broad #spectrum #antiviral agent (#BSAA) against multiple DNA #viruses.
    An excellent example on how #chemistry / #medicinalchemistry play a key role in the improvement of #drug #bioavalilability and clinical efficacy of #drug candidates.
