However, its α,β-unsaturated aldehyde structure designates it as a pan-assay interference compound (PAINS), which can produce non-specific effects through chemical reactivity—particularly in ...

The hepatitis A virus (HAV) is one of the main causes of viral hepatitis and is responsible for an estimated 159,000 infections and 39,000 deaths each year.

Acetaldehyde is “very toxic to a lot of different tissues,” says Dr. Sarah Wakeman, senior medical director for substance-use disorder at Mass General Brigham.

In a promising step forward, a team of researchers has developed a novel copper-based catalyst that can effectively convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into acetaldehyde. This catalyst offers a greener ...

Scientists have developed a copper catalyst that can efficiently convert carbon dioxide into acetaldehyde, a key chemical used in manufacturing. The breakthrough offers a green alternative to ...

Acetaldehyde is a vital chemical used in making everything from perfumes to plastics. Today, its production largely relies on ethylene, a petrochemical. But increasing environmental concerns are ...

Medical accounts of red wine headaches go back to Roman times, but the experience is likely as old as winemaking—something like 10,000 years. As chemists specializing in winemaking, we wanted to try ...

Ethanol is metabolised into a chemical compound called acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is toxic, but is rapidly converted to acetate (also known as acetic acid, found in vinegar).

Study demonstrates that glutathione (GSH) significantly reduces acetaldehyde levels, a key factor in hangovers, though subjective symptoms showed little difference between groups. Pharmacokinetic ...

Monte Carlo simulations have been performed to investigate the structure and hydrogen bonds formation in liquid acetaldehyde. An all atom model for the acetaldehyde have been optimized in the present ...
