Many studies have shown that one specific enantiomer of citalopram (“S”) is the one capable of inhibition of serotonin reuptake. Lexapro is the brand name for the purified form of the S- enantiomer of citalopram. Explain briefly why Lexapro would be more expensive than Celexa.

2. what functional group interaction between the catechplamine and adrenoceptors are most likely ? which functional group are considered pharmacophores of catecholamines?
1. (a) There are two main types of adrenergic receptors: the a- and B-adrenoceptors. Noradrenaline shows slight selectivity for the a-adrenoceptor, whereas isoprenaline shows selectivity for the B-adrenoceptor. Adrenaline shows no selectivity and binds equally well to both the a- and B-adrenoceptors. Suggest an explanation for these differences in selectivity. OH OH OH Но. NH2 HO. НО. НО Но Но Noradrenaline Isoprenaline Adrenaline (b) Isoprenaline undergoes metabolism to give the inactive metabolite shown below. Suggest why this metabolite does not bind to the B-adrenoceptor. OH MeO. Но inactive metabolite of Isoprenaline (c) R-Salbutamol is an anti-asthmatic agent that acts as an adrenergic agonist. Do you think it is likely to show any selectivity between the a- and B-adrenoceptors? Explain your answer. OH HOH2C, Но R-Salbutamol

Please answer Ture or False with full explanation 7. Ethanol is a glutamate agonist. 8. Withdrawal from ethanol is safer than withdrawal from heroin. 9. Detoxifying from ethanol can cause seizures. 10. Unlike cocaine and heroin, THC is not consistently reinforcing for laboratory rodents. 11. Endocannabinoids are released primarily from terminal boutons under the influence of action potentials.
Several compounds have been found to inhibit -lactamase, and drugs based on these compounds can be taken in combination with penicillins and cephalosporins to restore their effectiveness when resistance is known to be a problem. The commonly prescribed formulation called Augmentin is a combination of the -lactamase inhibitor shown below with amoxicillin (shown above). It is used to treat childhood ear infections when resistance is suspected, and many kids know it as the white liquid that tastes like bananas. Which of the statements below are true statements? 1. The stereochemistry of the fusion between the four-and five-membered rings in the inhibitor and amoxicillin are different. 2. The inhibitor possesses enol ether and allylic alcohol functional groups while the antibiotic possesses a phenol and a secondary amide functional group. 3. Neither the inhibitor nor the antibiotic contains strained rings. 4. Both 1 and 2 are true.
Digitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digitalis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).
Paroxetine (Paxil) is an antidepressant that is a member of a family of drugs known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIS). This family of drugs also includes fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertraline (Zoloft). SSRIS work by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the synapses of the central nervous system follow- ing release of serotonin during excitation of individual nerve cells. Between firings, the serotonin is taken back up by a nerve cell in preparation for firing again. Inhibition of reuptake has the effect of increasing the time serotonin molecules remain in the syn- apses following excitation, leading to a therapeutic effect. In one synthesis of parox- etine, the following reagents are used. Draw the structures of synthetic intermediates A and B. F НО SOCI, A B HO Pyridine
