4. Northwestern chemists develop new method for synthesizing anti-cancer flavonoids
   04-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
   For years chemists have struggled to find a good way to make flavonoids -- the good-for-your-health compounds found in plants -- in the lab. Now a team of Northwestern University researchers has, for the first time, synthesized 10 different flavanones, a type of flavonoid, using a new general method they developed that takes advantage of one simple catalyst. This helps set the stage for the development of new cancer therapeutics based on flavanones with anti-cancer properties.
