Colchicine-derived anticancer molecules with up to 2000-fold selectivity for cancer cells over normal cells - A drug discovery research team led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tanatorn Khotavivattana from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Chulalongkorn University has developed a new class of anticancer molecules by modifying the structure of colchicine, a natural compound known to inhibit cell division by binding to the tubulin protein… …
Laser-fabricated Electrochemical Sensor for Carbofuran Detection in Agricultural Product - Carbofuran (CBF) is a widely used carbamate pesticide, but improper application can leave harmful residues in food and pose serious health risks. Research group of Assist. Prof. Dr. Pumidech Puthongkham developed a novel electrochemical sensor based on laser-induced graphene (LIG), modified with laser-fabricated carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and electropolymerized poly(β-alanine).… …Laser-fabricated Electrochemical Sensor for Carbofuran Detection in Agricultural Product Read More »
Hydrogenation of Fatty Acids to Fatty Alcohols over Ni-Mo/Zr-SBA-15 - This study reports a sustainable Ni–Mo bimetallic catalyst supported on zirconium-modified SBA-15 for selective hydrogenation of fatty acids to high-value fatty alcohols. The catalyst enables nearly complete conversion of oleic acid to octadecanol under mild conditions and demonstrates excellent stability and recyclability. It offers a greener, cost-effective alternative to noble-metal… …Hydrogenation of Fatty Acids to Fatty Alcohols over Ni-Mo/Zr-SBA-15 Read More »
