Abstract:
A high relapse rate for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is still a major barrier to the long-term survival of these patients. Nevertheless, considerable progress has been made both in the biology and therapy of the disease. Specifically, progress has been made in the areas of integrated genomic analysis for prognosis, the widening application of minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring in clinical practice, the development of new agents, and the increasing use of drugs, such as IDH and FLT3 inhibitors, as a bridge to transplant. Continued progress and inquiry into these and other areas are essential to improve the survival outcome for adult patients with AML.

02:45Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
01:20Amides to Amines: LiAlH4 Reduction
Amide reduction requires two equivalents of the reducing agent, acting as a source of hydride ions. As shown in the figure, the reaction is initiated with a nucleophilic attack by the hydride ion at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate.

Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen. In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...
01:21Acid-Catalyzed α-Halogenation of Aldehydes and Ketones
In the first step of the mechanism, the acid protonates the carbonyl oxygen resulting in a resonance-stabilized cation, which subsequently loses an α-hydrogen to form an enol tautomer. The C=C bond in an enol is highly nucleophilic because of the electron-donating nature of the –OH group. Consequently, the double bond attacks an electrophilic halogen to form a...
