A

polarimeter

28
Q

enantiomers can have large differences in:

A
  • potency

result when the drug molecule has an asymmetric interaction

29
Q

neither mirror images nor superimposable

A

diastereomers

30

drugs must have at least two chiral centers in order to exist in diastereomers

A

diastereomers

31
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

diastereomers have some stereochemical centers that are identical and some that are opposite

A

true

32
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

diastereomers

A

possess different physicochemical properties and, thus, differ in properties, such as solubility, volatility, and melting points

33
Q

a special type of diastereomers because all epimers are also diastereomers

A

epimers

34

compounds that are structurally identical in all respects except for the stereochemistry of one chiral center

A

epimers

35
Q

the process of ____ (in which the stereochemistry of one chiral center is inverted) is important in drug degradation and inactivation

A

epimerization

36
Q

occurs due to restricted rotation of double bonds based on the longest chain (not mirror images and have different physicochemical properties and pharmacologic activity)

A

geometric isomer

37
Q

based on a set of priority rules about the relative position of the two higher-priority groups

based on cahn ingold prelog rules

A

40
Q

“boat” and “chair” forms

A

conformational isomers

41

43
Q

functional groups that are interchangeable with minimal impact on the activity of a molecule

based on the size of functional group

A

isosteres

44
Q

isosteric replacement of functional groups can:

A
  1. increase potency
  2. decrease side effects
  3. separate biologic activities
  4. increase the duration of action by altering metabolism
45
Q

containing groups that are spatially and electronically equivalent and, thus, interchangeable without significantly altering the molecules’ physicochemical properties

A

46
Q

3 types of isosteres

A

bioisosteres

48
