(a)
Interpretation:
Mechanism for the conversion of compound (A) to compound (B) has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Acid catalyzed reactions:
In an
(b)
Interpretation:
For the conversion of compound (B) to compound (C) reagents has to be proposed.
Concept Introduction:
Grignard addition:
It is an addition of organomagnesium halide to an
(c)
Interpretation:
Mechanism for the conversion of compound (C) to compound (D) has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Acid catalyzed reactions:
In an organic synthesis reactions, most of the reactions are initiated by the abstraction of proton from acids by the reactant. Sulphuric acid is one of the reagent used for this purposes.
(d)
Interpretation:
For the conversion of compound (d) to amitriptyline reagents has to be proposed.
Concept Introduction:
SN2 reaction:
SN2 stands for bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction. In this type of reactions, simultaneous bond breaking and bond making steps are involved.
(e)
Interpretation:
The chirality of amitriptyline and the number of possible stereoisomers has to be checked.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers and chiral:
Isomers differing only in their spatial arrangement of atoms are called as stereoisomers.
The geometric property of a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image is known as chirality. Chiral carbon is the one which is attached with four different groups or atoms.

- Explain the biosynthetic pathway of caffeine to Theobromine in detail?arrow_forward1. (a) There are two main types of adrenergic receptors: the a- and B-adrenoceptors. Noradrenaline shows slight selectivity for the a-adrenoceptor, whereas isoprenaline shows selectivity for the B-adrenoceptor. Adrenaline shows no selectivity and binds equally well to both the a- and B-adrenoceptors. Suggest an explanation for these differences in selectivity. OH OH OH Но. NH2 HO. НО. НО Но Но Noradrenaline Isoprenaline Adrenaline (b) Isoprenaline undergoes metabolism to give the inactive metabolite shown below. Suggest why this metabolite does not bind to the B-adrenoceptor. OH MeO. Но inactive metabolite of Isoprenaline (c) R-Salbutamol is an anti-asthmatic agent that acts as an adrenergic agonist. Do you think it is likely to show any selectivity between the a- and B-adrenoceptors? Explain your answer. OH HOH2C, Но R-Salbutamolarrow_forward) The potency of antagonists is frequently defined in terms of either their IC50, ortheir Ki. Explain what these two terms mean.arrow_forward
- Compounds like amphetamine that contain nitrogen atoms are protonated by the HCl in the gastric juices of the stomach, and the resulting salt is then deprotonated in the basic environment of the intestines to regenerate the neutral form. Write proton transfer reactions for both of these processes. In which form will amphetamine pass through a cell membrane?arrow_forwardA drug which has high affinity for muscarinic receptors not nicotinic receptors and is an antagonist not an agonist: Norepinephrine (LEVOPHED) O Atracurium (TRACURIUM) Echothiophate (PHOSPHOLINE) Ipratropium (ATROVENT) Norepinephrine (LEVOPHED) nint)arrow_forwardPropranolol binds to beta-adrenergic receptors with a Kj of 8.9 x 10-9M. What concentration of propranolol would be required to achieve a 50% reduction in the binding of the receptor agonist isoproterenol if the agonist concentration is 10ONM and its dissociation constant for the receptor is 4.8 x 10-8 M?arrow_forward

Discuss the differences among the following compounds by drawing their structures: Acetylsalicylic acid, Acetaminophen (Paracetamol), Ibuprofen, Paracetamol and Phenacetin.arrow_forward2. what functional group interaction between the catechplamine and adrenoceptors are most likely ? which functional group are considered pharmacophores of catecholamines?arrow_forwardDepending on the size and complexity of the molecule, small chemical alterations can impart significant activity differences, especially if a certain part of the molecule is critical for binding. Considering this, select structure(s) below that are expected to have high cholinergic agonist activity based on what we learned about acetylcholine's SAR.arrow_forward
