Breaking news for pain relief! Researchers led by Professor of Chemistry Richmond Sarpong have created a new version of morphine, called carbamorphine, by swapping just one atom: oxygen for carbon.
By putting a carbon atom in place of a core oxygen, chemists constructed an opioid that blocks pain with less respiratory depression in mice cen.acs.org/synthesis/medi…

Congratulations to @SojungKim20, @charis_amber, and @gloganb on the publication of their Accounts of Chemical Research paper on our group's skeletal editing work, which, at its core, is inspired by total synthesis! pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

Chemists @ @UCB_Chemistry @UCBerkeley led by @SarpongGroup figured out how to shuffle peripheral pieces of a molecule by twisting its interior structure - like rearranging a Rubik's cube. Their work, in @ScienceMagazine, offers a shortcut to drug design. chemistry.berkeley.edu/news/twist-cor…
