Moscow, Jan. 15 -- Researchers in Russia have devised a novel chemical technique that could markedly enhance the potency of anti-cancer drugs by reinforcing their active ingredients, offering fresh momentum to oncology research, as reported by TV BRICS.

The development has been made by scientists at Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, who are working on methods to improve biologically active compounds known for inhibiting tumour cell growth.

According to the researchers, the newly developed approach allows for the incorporation of multiple aminomethyl groups into biologically active molecules. These groups function as pharmacophore elements, which play a critical role in determining how effectively a drug interacts with can...
