2013) Protease inhibitors can be used in medicine to treat different diseases and viruses which depend on protease for its mechanism of action. Protease inhibitors are most commonly used in the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Protease is responsible for the synthesis of new viral cells which would cause HIV to spread to uninfected cells. When the protease is introduced however‚ non-infectious vial particles are produced. The protease involved in HIV is called the HIV protease which is an aspartic protease (San

The Grignard Synthesis of 3-methyl-3-heptanol In this experiment‚ an example of an organometallic compound which has a carbon magnesium bond will be utilized to form a tertiary alcohol. Grignard reagents have been extremely useful in the synthesis of a large number of classes of organic functional groups. Although Grignard reagents are unstable and decompose in air and moisture‚ they can be prepared and used immediately with moderate difficulty in the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory

DNA synthesis inhibitors Nucleic acid inhibitors are chemicals which inhibit the production of nucleic acids including both DNA and RNA. DNA and RNA inhibitors inhibit enzyme action in DNA replication in the same way as the topoisomerase inhibitors we discussed earlier. Topoisomerase inhibitors (1) (10) are chemicals which interfere with the enzymes that allow DNA strands to separate and to re-join‚ a process that is required for the division of bacteria and without which DNA cannot effectively

SYNTHESIS OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL ASPIRIN (ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID) AIM: The aim for this experiment was to synthesise a small amount of aspirin with salicylic acid as the starting product and sulphuric acid as the catalyst. The product obtained from this reaction will be impure and will need to be purified. This will be done by recrystallization. We will then record the products’ melting point and calculate the yield in order to determine the degree of purity of the aspirin sample. Diagrammatic scheme

Media Argument Synthesis A man stumbles out of a bar and digs through the junk in his pocket to find his keys. He scratches the door of his car while trying to unlock it. He proceeds to get in his car and drive home. Five days later‚ here he sits…in a cemetery. He didn’t know when enough was enough and a bad decision was made based on his lack of knowing when to stop. Does experiencing too much negative media‚ such as violence and drug use impact people by subliminally interesting them in such

just one or a few dominant chemical components that carry the bulk of the taste/smell signal. Many of these chemicals are called esters. Esters have the structure of -COOR. Instead of the alcohol portion of thecarboxylic acid (-COOH)‚ there is an ether portion. The low boiling‚ volatile esters are known for their "fruity" smell and flavor. They are used in artificial flavorings. (Operational Organic Chemistry‚ John W. Lehman‚ Third Edition‚ Prentice Hall‚ 1999). The preparation of the food flavours

Chris CXXXX Organic Chemistry Lab Dr. Lyn XXXX 2 February 2012 Esterification of Isopentyl Alcohol to Isopentyl Acetate Procedure The technique for esterification that was employed in the experiment was to use a reflux apparatus (Figure 1) while heating in order to evaporate out water to drive our reaction into the product favored direction. The starting material of isopentyl alcohol (1.0 mL) and excess glacial acetic acid(1.5 mL‚ 17.6M) were eppendorf pipetted into a 5 mL conical vile. This
