Benzene is an important organic compound with the chemical formula C6H6, and its molecule consists of a ring of 6 carbon atoms, each with 1 hydrogen atom. Benzene is a sweet, flammable, colorless and transparent liquid with carcinogenic toxicity at room temperature, and has a strong aromatic odor. It is insoluble in water, easily soluble in organic solvents, and can also be used as an organic solvent itself. The ring system of benzene is called benzene ring, and the structure after removing one hydrogen atom from the benzene ring is called phenyl. Benzene is one of the most important basic organic chemical raw materials. Many important chemical intermediates can be derived from benzene through substitution reaction, addition reaction and benzene ring cleavage reaction.
Novartis Scemblix® FDA approved in newly diagnosed CML, offering superior efficacy, and favorable safety and tolerability profile. Scemblix now approved for newly diagnosed and previously treated CML, allowing four times the patients access to potential new standard of care.
Scemblix is an orally available tyrosine kinase inhibitor that works by blocking the BCR-ABL1 fusion protein, a known hallmark of certain leukemias.
