Chemists at Emory University have invented a reaction to streamline the total synthesis of a compound.

Phaeocaulisin A is an extract from a plant used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine.

In laboratory dish experiments, the researchers showed the compound's efficacy against breast cancer cells.

Phaeocausilin A has been cultivated in Sichuan for more than 900 years for traditional medicine.

Modern scientific research has identified the anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity of the extract.

Emory researchers wanted to find a shorter, more efficient way to synthesize a natural compound.

They invented a new palladium-catalyzed carbonylation reaction.
