pharmaceutical chemistry Flashcards
focuses on quality aspects of medicines and aims to ensure fitness for the purpose of medicinal products
pharmaceutical chemistry
the study of drugs, and involves drug development; usually done in a laboratory setting
pharmaceutical chemistry
involves cures and remedies for disease, analytical techniques, pharmacology, metabolism, quality assurance, and drug chemistry
pharmaceutical chemistry
same atoms but linked together differently
constitutional isomers
constitutional isomers are also known as
geometrical isomers
isomers in which the atoms have different connectivity
constitutional isomers
isomers with different carbon atom arrangements and different hydrogen atom arrangements
skeletal isomers
isomers that differ in the location of the functional group
positional isomers
isomers that contain different functional groups
functional group isomers
this is positioning the different functional groups in their sites of action
stereochemistry
3 main groups of stereoisomers
- optical isomer
- geometric isomers
- conformational isomers
contain at least one asymmetric, or chiral, carbon atom
optical isomers
carbons that have four non-identical substituents around it
chiral
TRUE OR FALSE
each asymmetric carbon atom can exist in one of two non-superimposable isomeric forms
true
optical isomers that are mirror images of one another
enantiomers
have identical physical and chemical properties except that one rotates the plane of polarized light
enantiomers
clockwise direction
dextrorotatory (d/+)
counterclockwise
levorotatory (l/-)
equal mixture of d and l enantiomers
racemic mixture
TRUE OR FALSE
racemic mixtures are considered optically active
false
they are optically inactive
used to designate the handedness of glyceraldehyde enantiomers
D and L system
(( Fischer Projection Formulas ))
TRUE OR FALSE
enantiomers are optically active
true
chiral compound that rotates light towards the right
dextrorotatory
chiral compound that rotates light towards left
levorotatory
