    Panacetin Lab Report

    The second experiment of the semester focuses on separating and identifying the components of Panacetin, which is a common medication that relieves pain. The label reveals that Panacetin is composed of sucrose (10%), aspirin (40%), and Tylenol (50%). Although this information is reported, the true composition of Panacetin is questionable. While sucrose and aspirin are present in Panacetin, Tylenol may be replaced by an unknown component (acetanilide or phenacetin). Separation of the components of a sample of Panacetin may prove valuable in identification of the unknown component, as well as the true percent composition of each component of Panacetin.…

    Spectrometric Assay Lab Report

    Natural enzymes are proteins that catalyze biological reactions by lowering the activation energy of the reaction without being altered during the process. The enzyme used in this experiment was the β-galactosidase purified from E. coli. This enzyme hydrolyzes lactose and turns it into galactose and glucose. Since it is difficult to assay the activity of β-galactosidase, we will be using the artificial substrate, o-nitrophenyl-β-galactoside (ONPG) instead of lactose. ONPG is an analog of lactose and an advantage of using ONPG is that it is easy to determine the amount of ONPG cleaved by using spectrometric assay (1). The β-galactosidase hydrolyzes ONPG and yields a yellow solution that contains o-nitrophenol and galactose. The solution becomes more yellow as the more ONPG is being degraded. Using spectrophotometry, the absorbance of the solution can be determined at a wavelength of 420nm. The assays will help determine the Km, Vmax, and Kcat of the enzyme. In our assays, Na2CO3 is used to stop the reactions by changing the solution pH to basic and as a result the enzyme will become inactive.…

    St John's Wart Research Paper

    It can either increase the effect of the drug or decrease it. It is broken down by liver enzymes, meaning any other drugs broken down by the same enzymes may cause an interaction. Atorvastatin is one of those drugs. St Johns Wart is known to decrease the effects of atorvastatin. St Johns Wart also increases the serum level of LDL and increases total cholesterol. Taking St Johns Wart with antidepressants may cause an interaction, mainly serotonin syndrome. A few medications that would cause this dangerous condition are Celexa, Zoloft, Lexapro, Cymbalta and Elavil. Serotonin syndrome symptoms include seizure, extreme changes in blood pressure, increased heart rate, confusion and could cause death. In people with major depressive disorders St Johns Wart may cause mania. St Johns Wart should be stopped 2 weeks before any surgery due to its effect on serotine levels in the brain affecting how sedatives work. Overall, St. John’s Wort can cause interactions with antidepressants, antihistamines, cough medications, anticoagulants, sedatives, alcohol, triptans, antifungals, and statins. Besides medications, St. John’s Wort should also not be taken with medications high in tyramine. Taking this herbal medicine with tyramine can cause an elevation in blood pressure. Foods with tyramine include sausage, poultry, beer, aged cheese, and cough medicines. Jeff should be educated on all of these negative effects of St. Johns Wort and his current antidepressant medication should be reevaluated for effectiveness. Another antidepressant or a combination of medications may be prescribed to better control Jeff’s depression and make his transition away from this herbal medication more…

    N405 Medication Error Analysis

And more than 7,000 deaths that occurred each year were related to medications.

However, at the end of the story it becomes clear that regardless of one's imagination or will, the future is set in stone and the path you walk is already set in stone.…

Although seemingly hard, for the majority of my academic classes this year I've easily adapted and have progressed quite smoothly within each individual course. To tell the truth the hardest course to overcome was AP Chemistry.
