Benzene is an important organic compound with the chemical formula C6H6, and its molecule consists of a ring of 6 carbon atoms, each with 1 hydrogen atom. Benzene is a sweet, flammable, colorless and transparent liquid with carcinogenic toxicity at room temperature, and has a strong aromatic odor. It is insoluble in water, easily soluble in organic solvents, and can also be used as an organic solvent itself. The ring system of benzene is called benzene ring, and the structure after removing one hydrogen atom from the benzene ring is called phenyl. Benzene is one of the most important basic organic chemical raw materials. Many important chemical intermediates can be derived from benzene through substitution reaction, addition reaction and benzene ring cleavage reaction.
Nitrogen compounds can be classified as mineral or organic. Mineral compounds are essentially formed by the ammonium ion (NH4+), which is generated when ammonium salts are dissolved in water. Organic compounds, in contrast, are carbon and hydrogen compounds that contain a nitrogen atom. All organic nitrogen-containing compounds can be considered as derivatives of ammonia in which one or more hydrogen atoms are substituted by hydrocarbon radicals.
CAMZYOS(Mavacamten) was recently approved in the European Union, following its approval in the U.S. and other markets worldwide, and is the first and only cardiac myosin inhibitor approved to treat adult patients with symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM).
Mavacamten is a first-in-class, targeted inhibitor of cardiac myosin, reduces the number of myosin-actin cross-bridges and thus decreases excessive contractility characteristic of HCM.
The New England Journal of Medicine publishes the primary CAHtalyst™ Adult Phase 3 study results of Crinecerfont for the treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) is a rare genetic disorder, affected by a lack of cortisol and/or aldosterone. Corticotropin-releasing factor type 1 receptor (CRF1) antagonism is shown to clinically decrease ACTH production and adrenal androgen levels.
Neurocrine's Crinecerfont is an investigational, selective CRF1 antagonist being developed to reduce and control excess adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and adrenal androgens. The phase 3 study meets primary and important key secondary endpoints, including a significant reduction in androstenedione levels and lowering glucocorticoid dosing.
