Prostaglandins are a class of eicosanoids, fatty acid derivatives with a variety of extremely potent actions on vertebrate tissues. They are responsible for producing fever and inflammation and its associated pain. Prostaglandins are derived from the 20- carbon fatty acid arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. This enzyme, a cyclooxygenase, uses oxygen to convert arachidonic acid to PGG2, the immediate precursor of many different prostaglandins.

The flavors and aromas of almost any fruit are primarily due to esters. In an experiment, an artificial fruit flavor is prepared using the Fischer esterification (reaction of an alcohol with a carboxylic acid in the presence of sulfuric acid catalyst). Why is it easier to remove excess carboxylic acid from the product than excess alcohol?

Drinking methanol can cause blindness in humans, as well as a severe acidosis that may be life threatening. Methanol is toxic because it is converted in the liver to formaldehyde and formic acid by the enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. Methanol poisoning is treated with dialysis and infusions of bicarbonate and ethanol. Explain why each treatment is used.
