to synthesise pure aspirin using chemical tests such as esterification and recrystallization independently and to also find out the melting point range of aspirin using melting point determination. INTRODUCTION Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid‚ is one of the commonly used and widely found in any drugstore or pharmacy. Its properties make aspirin a well-rounded drug that reduces inflammation and fever and also relieves pain. The active ingredient in aspirin was found to be salicylic

Aspirin analysis Introduction Aspirin‚ which is also known as acetylsalicylic acid. C9H8O4 is the chemical format for Asprin. The chemical structure of aspirin: Aspirin is anti-inflammatory. Aspirin is prepared by chemical synthesis from salicylic acid‚ by acetylation with acetic anhydride. The fact that it is an acid allows us to quantify the amount of aspirin in a solution. We would do this by by using an acid-base titration. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) will be used In this experiment as the

History Of Aspirin Aspirin is one of the most commonly used drugs in the world.. For centuries people throughout the world. Aspirin was discovered about 3500 years ago. A collection of 877 medicinal recipes‚ The Ebers papyrus‚ before Christ‚ from the middle of the second millennium had been bought during the last century from an Egyptian street vendor by Georg Ebers‚ a German Egyptologist Georg. He recommended an infusion of dried myrtle leaves for rheumatic and back pain. More than a

The lipase gene sequence from Alcaligenes sp. JG3 was translated into amino acid sequence using two methods‚ manual translation and ExPASy online software. By manual method‚ amino acid sequence was obtained via codon translation one by one as shown in Figure IV.7. The sequence reference used is the lipase from A. faecalis MOR02 due to having high similarity with the lipase sequence from strain JG3 during CLUSTAL alignment and the alignment of the deduced amino acid with the referred sequence was

micropipette 25 µL of my dye sample mix was added to the well. The gel was run at 130 V for 30 minutes. The gel was stained for 10 to 15 minutes using ethidium bromide. The gel was viewed using UV transillumination and a photograph was taken of the gel. Analysis of Genotype and Allele Frequency In Whole-Class Data Each student’s genotype of +/+‚ +/-‚ and -/- were counted and put into a genotype frequency equation of to get a percentage. The Hardy-Weinberg equation was then used to determine the genotypes

Determining Genotypic Frequencies for Alu Insertion Polymorphism at the PV92 Locus Introduction An Alu element is a short stretch of non-coding DNA found in primates. It gets its name from the single recognition site for the endonuclease Alu I‚ located near the middle of the Alu element. Alu elements are transposable DNA sequences that copy and insert themselves into new chromosome locations. They are regarded as “selfish DNA” because they do not encode protein and appear to only exist for their

up. The article I chose is called‚ “Synthesis of a Genius” by George Kauffman and Steven Chooljian. The area of exploration and discovery that I chose was the synthesis of urea in chemistry. Urea was discovered by Friedrich Wohler‚ in 1828. This discovery ultimately changed the belief at the time that only organic compounds can be created from living organisms. He was able to create urea (which is mostly what is found in human and animal urine) in the lab with inorganic compounds. The interesting

1. A physician forgets to tell a patient about the risk of combining a prescribed drug with aspirin and the patient takes two aspirin for a headache: In this scenario the extend of liability depends on the drug being prescribed‚ if the drug is dispensing in generic form with no warnings‚ then the physician could be considered liable‚ however it is still possible to make the argument that the patient would have been proactive about potential contraindications‚ and consult the dispensing pharmacy
