NEWS RELEASE
Fluorine catch-and-attach process could boost drug efficiency
When it comes to chemical reactions, fluorine has a reputation as a 'magic bullet atom' for its ability to increase a drug’s absorption and prolong its lifetime. However, traditional methods of adding it to compounds entail expensive materials and can be difficult to pull off. Rice scientists developed a reliable and cost-effective process of adding fluorine to molecules for increased pharmaceutical drug efficiency using an iron and sulfur reaction.
