The latest Riley Lab paper using a Ritter-like reaction to form aristoquionline analogues is now out in ACS Medicinal Chemistry Letters. https://t.co/EUFgZS3zQk

[Andrew Riley @TheRileyLab]

While we were at it, we tested all these compounds against the α3β4 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and found a few analogues with improved potency compared to the natural product aristoquinoline!
