Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.10P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A curved arrow mechanism for the reduction of mevaldehyde shown on page number 1294 (Equation 25.9b) is to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
The hydride donor, NADH or NADPH, activates the carbonyl group of the amino acid by protonating the carbonyl carbon. This reduces the mevaldehyde to mevalonate by cleavage of the bond between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms.

- Enalapril is an anti-hypertension "prodrug" (i.e, a drug precursor) that is inactive until the ethyl ester (arrow in figure) is hydrolyzed by esterases present in blood plasma. The active drug is the dicarboxylic acid ("enalaprilat") that results from this hydrolysis reaction. (a) Enalapril is administered in pill form, but enalaprilat must be akdministered intravenously. Why do you suppose enalapril works as a pill, but enalaprilat does not? EtOoC -NH CH3 HOOC Enalapril (b) Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptide angiotensin. ACE has a KM = 12 µM for angiotensin, which is present in plasma at a concentration of 75 µM.
