“1D NOESY study of bicalutamide conformations in a supercritical CO₂”
Published in Journal of Molecular Liquids
👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.molliq.2025.

We combined high-pressure NMR (1D NOESY) with quantum chemical modeling to explore how temperature & pressure in supercritical CO₂ affect the conformational balance of the drug bicalutamide.
