Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 11TYU
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: ORGANIZATION In 1918, an epidemic of sleeping sickness caused an unusual rigid paralysis in some survivors, similar to symptoms of advanced Parkinson's disease. Years later, L-dopa (below, left), a chemical used to treat Parkinson's disease, was given to some of these patients. L-dopa was remarkably effective at eliminating the paralysis, at least temporarily. However, its enantiomer, D-dopa (right), was subsequently shown to have no effect at all, as is the case for Parkinson's disease. In a short essay (100-150 words), discuss how the effectiveness of one enantiomer and not the other illustrates the theme of structure and function.

Tricyclic, anti-depressant drugs were developed from the observation that some tricyclic, anti-psychotic drugs elevated a patient’s mood.
Identify the structural features of a tricyclic drug that were found to affect its action as a pure anti-depressant or a mixed anti-psychotic/anti-depressant agent and comment on the structural modifications that can be made to such an anti-depressant drug whilst retaining the essential pharmacophore.

- Write the Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) of Nifedipine ? Please write at your own words.arrow_forwardFrom a medicinal chemistry (and a pharmacologist) perspective, functional groups provide specific properties and behaviors that allow drug molecules to exert their desired PD and PK effects. The key point here is that each individual group within a drug molecule can serve to provide one or more specific roles, tasks, or functions. The following table summarizes a series of drug discovery lead optimization for targeting a certain renal disease. Explain the basis for changing the R- functionality at the para- position.

What do you suppose is the structural basis for such interactions? Be specific.arrow_forwardWhich of the following situations would produce a Hill plot with nH < 1.0? Explain your reasoning in each case.(a) The protein has multiple subunits, each with a single ligand-binding site. Binding of ligand to one site decreases the binding affinity of other sites for the ligand.(b) The protein is a single polypeptide with two ligand-binding sites, each having a different affinity for the ligand.(c) The protein is a single polypeptide with a single ligand-binding site. As purified, the protein preparation is heterogeneous, containing some protein molecules that are partially denatured and thus have a lower binding affinity for the ligand.arrow_forward
