RUDN University chemists together with colleagues from the Chemnitz University of Technology (Germany) have synthesized the first chemical receptor that can effectively bind to cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in an aqueous solution—cGMP regulates many physiological processes in the cardiovascular and nervous systems. This could lead to more effective drugs for the treatment of myocardial infarction, as well as methods for detecting viruses by their nucleotides. The article is published in the Journal of Organic Chemistry.
