`Click chemistry` reactions may boost cancer-fighting drug potency
(PHYSorg.com Chemistry)

Researchers at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have developed a quick and easy way to simultaneously modify dozens of drugs or molecules to improve their disease-fighting properties. Using the approach, scientists exchanged one chemical group for another in 39 cancer drugs-and discovered under lab conditions that the chemically altered versions of three of the drugs had more potent anti-cancer activity.
