Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The structure of (R)- and (S)-penicillamine is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. The configuration of compound is R and S when the substituents around stereogenic center, from higher priority to lower priority, are present in clockwise and anticlockwise direction, respectively.
(b)
Interpretation: The disulfide formed by the oxidation of (S)-penicillamine is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. A disulphide bond is formed when two amino acids containing

- Is there a reducing sugar present in digitoxin / digoxin? Why or why not?arrow_forwardHyaluronic acid, a component of connective tissue, is the fluid that lubricates joints. It is a polymer of alternating N-acetyl-d-glucosamine and d-glucuronic acid subunits joined by β-1,3'-glycosidic linkages. Draw a short segment of hyaluronic acid.arrow_forwardExplain triplet sensitizerarrow_forward
- Ceramide can then be used to synthesize sphingomyelin, another important molecule that is prevalent in cell membranes. 1.How does the structure of sphingomyelin differ from that of ceramide? 2.Sphingomyelin is also found in the cell membrane. Explain how you would expect to find the orientation of this molecule in the cell membrane. 3.Which amino alcohol is used in the synthesis of sphingomyelin? 4.What is particular about the amino alcohol used in in the synthesis of sphingomyelin? 5.How does your answer to #16 affect the physical properties of properties of sphingomyelin?arrow_forward1. Biogenic Amines are inactivated primarily by a. Sulfonation b. Glucoronidation c. Aromatic hydroxylation d. Methylation 2. A drug can exert its pharmacological effect only if it is a. Protein bound b. Protein unbound c. Free drug d. Both B & C e. Both A & C 3. In order for the drug to be ready and available for absorption, it must be release first from its dosage form with the exception of: a. Capsule b. Tablet c. Solution d. Suspension 4. All of the following are true, except a. Solubility increase with decrease particle size b. Solubility increase with increase surface area c. Solubility increase with increase particle size d. Solubility decrease with decrease surface area 5. The rate in which the drug appears in the bloodstream is also known as a. Half-life b. Potency c. Bioavailability d. Area under the curvearrow_forwardGive the products expected when (+)@glyceraldehyde reacts with HCN.(b) What is the relationship between the products? How might they be separated?(c) Are the products optically active? Explain.arrow_forward
- Using functional groups, determine why DEET (N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide):a) is insoluble in water (explain)b) has a low melting point (explain)arrow_forward(a) Give the products expected when (+)@glyceraldehyde reacts with HCN.(b) What is the relationship between the products? How might they be separated?(arrow_forwardd-Glucuronic acid is found widely in plants and animals. One of its functions is to detoxify poisonous HO-containing compoundsby reacting with them in the liver to form glucuronides. Glucuronides are water soluble and therefore readily excreted. Afteringestion of a poison such as turpentine or phenol, the glucuronides of these compounds are found in the urine. Draw thestructure of the a- and b-glucuronides formed by the reaction of b-d-glucuronic acid and phenol.arrow_forward
