Using sunlight to transform chemical manufacturing into ‘zero-waste’ industries
Chemical engineers have successfully manipulated carbon nitride to use sunlight to synthesize fluorine-based molecules, which are key building blocks of pharmaceutical products in a breakthrough on the path to the ‘holy grail’ of zero waste industry manufacturing. Researchers from The University of Manchester have discovered that simple manipulations of carbon nitride, a metal-free, non-toxic solid, […]

Virginia opens door to pharmacists dispensing fluoride supplements and more without a doctors prescription
Amidst the pandemic headlines, you may have missed that in April, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam signed into law a bill allowing pharmacists to dispense self-administered birth control (like pills and patches), as well as the injection, directly to patients over 18. (The bill also allows pharmacists to furnish opioid antagonists, epinephrine, fluoride supplements and prenatal […]

Osteoporosis Treatments Affect Bone Matrix Maturation in a Rat Model of Induced Cortical Remodeling.
Excerpt The example of sodium fluoride (NaF) clearly demonstrates an instance where increasing bone mass while altering maturation can negatively affect drug efficacy. NaF was a promising osteoporosis treatment because it increased BMD.5 However, it became evident that the treated patients were at increased risk of fracture,6, 7 which was later attributed to NaF-induced aberrant […]

The Dark Side of Fluorine.
Full Text: ABSTRACT: Despite the perceived stability of the C?F bond, chemical instability and drug-metabolizing enzymes can lead to its cleavage. The resulting release of fluoride and formation of certain metabolites may cause safety issues and warrant the medicinal chemists’ attention. Fluorine is an indispensable tool in the medicinal chemists’ toolbox. Due to its small […]

[18F]Fluoride : molar activity and utility in radiosynthesis and in biological applications
A radiopharmaceutical is a radioactive isotope combined with a biologically interesting molecule that targets specific tissues, organs, or cells in the living body. This special class of medicinal product has applications in both diagnostics and therapy. Positron emission tomography (PET) is a powerful non-invasive imaging technique that utilises gamma rays generated by short-lived positron emitting […]

Researchers make discovery that will benefit pharmaceutical companies
UTSA [University of Texas at San Antoni0] Researchers, led by Dr. Aimin Liu, professor and luther brown distinguished chair in biochemistry, made a discovery regarding fluorine, a reactive – and often toxic – chemical element found in water and air, also used in toothpaste and medicine. Not much is known about fluorine, aside from its […]

UTSA chemists make historic fluorine discovery
Note from the Fluoride Action Network – The articles we add to the NewsTracker have an importance that we want our readers to know about. Sometimes these articles contain misinformation, such as this one, and we wish to correct it. In the second paragraph the author states that fluorine is a “non-toxic element”. Fluorine is […]

Synthesis of the veterinary antibiotic florfenicol by a fast chemo-enzymatic route
Fluorinated structures make up more than 20 percent of modern drugs, but benign and fast fluorination schemes are scarce. In a study published in the European Journal of Organic Chemistry, scientists have now combined dynamic kinetic resolution and nucleophilic fluorination for the asymmetric synthesis of florfenicol, a veterinary antibiotic. After enzymatic resolution of the racemate, […]

Tinci Materials to Use NEV Battery By-Products for Drugs, Pesticides
A unit of Tinci Materials Technology will seek uses for by-products that form while refining materials for new energy vehicles’ batteries. Jimute New Materials will construct production lines for by-products, such as photoinitiators, methyl acetate, trifluoroacetic acid, and sulfuryl fluoride, which appear while processing lithium hexafluorophosphate, the Guangzhou-based chemical manufacturer said in a statement yesterday.
