The structures of LPSF-33, LPSF-34 and LPSF-35, including both E and Z isomers, were drew using the SPARTAN 08' program [20] and the optimization of each structure was carried out using the RM1 [21] method, available as part of the SPARTAN 08’ program, using internal default settings for convergence criteria. Docking analysis was carried out on Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor (PPAR) Gamma (PDB code: 2PRG). The chosen PPAR structure has been used in another work involving an antidiabetic

In fact, folic acid is actually used as a means of preventing toxicity by methotrexate (referred to in Pharmacodynamics). Although folic acid is considered low-risk for toxicity if taken in moderate doses, research has indicated that prolonged, high-dose (1-15 mg/day) folic acid supplementation may cause emergence of adverse symptoms. Allergic reactions to folic acid have been reported in a small number of isolated cases, and have induced erythema (redness of skin caused by increased blood flow

Background on the Case Study For years, Merck had been a successful and reputable pharmaceutical company that was known for its high-quality products and world-class research centres, and was often regarded in a good light compared to its less favourable competitors. However, all this fell apart in the early 2000s with the recall of the company’s “blockbuster” drug “Viroxx.” It was meant to act similar to ibuprofen in ways that it cured osteoarthritis and acute pain, but was withdrawn in 2004 after

Abstract Acetic Anhydride and p-Aminophenol were heated in a vial attached to an air condenser to synthesize crude acetaminophen, resulting in 0.097 grams (47.48% yield). The crude acetaminophen was then recrystallized in a solvent of water and methanol over heat resulting in 0.082 grams (39.61% yield) of pure acetaminophen. Melting points of both crude and pure acetaminophen were taken, and found to be 165.9 - 170.9°C and 168.2 - 171.5°C, respectively. The literature melting point of acetaminophen

The searing, stabbing feeling, vibrating through your skull that renders you completely to where you cannot move, talk, or even eat is what hit me on August 11, 2013. The day and night before my 15th birthday was spent in the ER with a crippling migraine. The feeling of being treated like there was nothing wrong with you, and you were just faking it must be the worst feeling I have ever felt in my life. Chronic migraines affect people differently and can cause so many different problems. This is

Imagine, you are nine years old, and you’re on a trip to Disneyland with your family. It's your turn to choose a ride to go on and you desperately want to go on the Alice in Wonderland ride. You get in line and you wait for what feels like ages. Finally, you’re up next to go on the ride; you and your mom step into the caterpillar-shaped cart and the safety bar comes down so it is now resting on top of your lap. The cart suddenly jerks forward and you are sent into the ride at full speed. You see
