Benzene is an important organic compound with the chemical formula C6H6, and its molecule consists of a ring of 6 carbon atoms, each with 1 hydrogen atom. Benzene is a sweet, flammable, colorless and transparent liquid with carcinogenic toxicity at room temperature, and has a strong aromatic odor. It is insoluble in water, easily soluble in organic solvents, and can also be used as an organic solvent itself. The ring system of benzene is called benzene ring, and the structure after removing one hydrogen atom from the benzene ring is called phenyl. Benzene is one of the most important basic organic chemical raw materials. Many important chemical intermediates can be derived from benzene through substitution reaction, addition reaction and benzene ring cleavage reaction.
AstraZeneca announced Phase I trial data for its PCSK9 inhibitor, AZD0780. AZD0780 is an oral small molecule PCSK9 inhibitor as a first-in-class therapy for patients with dyslipidemia that cannot be controlled by statins alone. PSCK9 is a well-known and validated target in lipid metabolism and inhibiting PSCK9 signalling has shown to be effective in reducing LDL cholesterol levels in plasma. Lower LDL-C levels are associated with a reduction in the risk of long-term cardiovascular disease and major cardiovascular events. Chemenu has been working to develop more compounds for drug discovery. Here are the building blocks we can provide.
