Small Molecules of the Month - June 2020: drug-hunter.com/2020/07/12/smo… Summer starts with some natural-product inspired molecules, two metal-binders (including 1 via a ketone!), two transcription factor modulators, a molecular glue degrader, and more! #chemtwitter #biotwitter

Small Molecules of the Month - July 2020: drug-hunter.com/2020/08/22/smo… A cmpd from a DNA-encoded library, some from phenotypic screens, and a featured cryo-EM structure from Novartis, among July's features! Full post + hi-res PDF @ drug-hunter.com #chemtwitter #biotwitter

Our review on #benzylic methylene functionalizations of #diarylmethanes is now available online (free access). A long list of # marketed drugs is included highlighting the importance of the scaffold. Thanks to Upma and Radhika for their tremendous effort!

Our paper is now available online as an accepted manuscript! Very excited to share this work with everyone pubs.rsc.org/en/content/art… Darren Derksen Chemical Science

Previously, we developed chemistry largely using a one-electron oxidant K2S2O8. We now use a one-electron reductant for the chemistry that presented challenges earlier. Thanks to SERB for funding generously.
