K-State Student Researches Chemical Compounds to Improve Performance of Anticancer Drugs
Monday January 5, 2009
Many potentially useful anticancer drugs never reach their full capability due to poor solubility and stability, but a Kansas State University student is researching compounds that could help improve the drugs’ delivery and efficacy.
Jackie Johnson, junior in pre-professional secondary education and chemistry, Overland Park, is researching how to improve anticancer drugs by altering the physical properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients, or APIs, used in the manufacturing of a wide array of therapeutic drugs.
