med chem Flashcards
structure of dicoumarol
- 2 coumarin rings connected by methylene group (CH2)
- -OH substituent at 3, 4 position
how does warfarin form sodium salt?
acid base reaction with NaOH
- enol acidic -> enolate salt (keto enol tautomerism)
how does warfarin form hemiketal formation?
- enol interact with ketone -> hydroxyl group lone pair go to carbonyl C -> hemiketal (ring closure)
- form 2 chiral centre: di-isostereomer
what is indane
fused bicyclic hydrocarbon ring
what is phenindione
- orally active anticoagulant (Similar to coumarin)
- similarities with warfarin: acidic enol group, base structures (1, 3-indandione, phenyl ring)
- cross sensitivity with pt sensitive to warfarin
types of SAR from apixaban to rivaroxaban
ring variation
- highly likely amide group important so keep similar form in rivaroxaban
- aromatic ring needed but H3CO- replaced with Cl -> more lipophilic
organic chem MOA of aspirin
acetylation of key Ser residue on COX-1 -> irreversibly and permanently inactivate COX 1
organic chem for MOA of clopidogrel
thiophene in S-clopidogrel oxidised to thiolactone -> hydrolysed into thiol and carboxylic acid -> thiol form disulfide bond with Cys in P2Y12
inactivation of clopidogrel
1) Phase I: hydrolysis by esterases, oxidation by CYP3A4
2) Phase II: glucuronidation of free carboxylic acid -> form glucuronide -> glucuronide eliminated
paracetamol MOA
central antipyretic mechanism: inhibition of pg in CNS (possibly COX-3)
does paracetamol have anti inflammatory activity?
no but produce analgesia in arthritic and musculoskeletal disorders
can you use paracetamol long term?
no cuz hepatotoxic
- minor hydroxyamide metabolite converted to NAPQI -> hepatotoxicity
organic chemistry for paracetamol
1) weak acid, low water solubility
- ionisable group: phenolic OH
2) NAPQI electrophile
- resonnace = lower e- density in benzene ring
- drawn to -ve charge
3) interaction with glutathione
- SH group in glutathione e- rich -> react with electrophile
chemical structure properties for aspirin
- OH group ortho to COOH essential for activity
- second phenyl ring conjugated with phenyl in salicylic acid increase anti-inflam property
oil of wintergreen
- rubefacient: counter irritant
- trigger erythema when applied on skin -> sensation of heat mask pain
- used for muscle ache
