May I recommend this series:
Published annually by Pfizer Merck Takeda and others
Review of synthetic methods to marketed drugs
Great look at the current state of pharma synthesis
Synthetic Approaches to the New Drugs Approved during 2023
This review is the next installment of an annual series that discusses the synthetic routes to access 28 small molecule drugs that were approved worldwide in 2023. A brief description of each drug’s m...

Next up we’ll have a talk from @stephanhacker2.bsky.social about identifying electrophiles to target amino acids beyond cysteine, including the first probes to globally monitor tryptophans, histidines and arginines ✨

Profiling the proteome-wide selectivity of diverse electrophiles
Targeted covalent inhibitors are powerful entities in drug discovery, but their application has so far mainly been limited to addressing cysteine residues. The development of cysteine-directed covalen...

Design of an aryne-platform for the synthesis of non-racemic heterocyclic allocolchicinoids
A four-step semisynthetic approach towards a highly versatile allocolchicine-related chiral aryne intermediate starting from naturally occurring colchicine was developed, and some of its synthetic tra...
