Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are drugs that can alleviate symptoms of depression by blocking the reuptake of serotonin (5-HT) from the synaptic cleft, thereby increasing the amount of time that 5-HT remains active. Elevated levels of 5-HT within the synapse are associated with feelings of well-being; conversely, low levels of 5-HT are correlated with depressive symptoms. Recent studies have shown that SSRIs can also mediate their antidepressant effects by increasing brain levels of certain cytokines, including interferon gamma (IFNY). IFNY directly induces the expression of the protein p11 in neighboring neurons, which then interacts with 5-HTR4, a 5-HT transmembrane receptor. Figures 1 and 2 provide information about this interaction. 5-HTR4 protein expression (% of WT) CAMP levels (% change control) from MEM TOT Figure 1 5-HTR4 protein expression in plasma membrane-enriched fraction (MEM) of hippocampal lysate and in total hippocampal lysate (TOT) from p11…

Sulfanilamide, a sulfur drug, acts as an antibiotic. Explain its mechanism of action in the context of enzyme inhibition. Methotrexate is used in cancer chemotherapy. Explain how this compound works by elaborating on the type of enzyme inhibition involved for its action.
The medicine can conditionally be divided into two parts: the active substance and excipients. An active substance is a substance that directly affects the body. Excipients are needed so that the active substance is better absorbed by the body (for example, so that the tablet dissolves only in the stomach, and not earlier). The active substance for a number ofdrugs are:a) KCl - replenishing potassium deficiency,b) KBr - sedative,c) KI - replenishing iodine deficiency, d) CH3COOK - diuretic,e) KMnO4 - disinfectant. Determine the mass fraction of potassium in the above drugs (the mass fraction of excipients for all a)-d) preparations should be equal to 95%, for KMnO4 there are no auxiliary substances). Determine the pH of 0.1 M solution of salts mentioned in a) - e) (appropriate constants find in literature).
