Q

What is a dipole-dipole bond?

Q

when is EN considered Ionic?

A

2.2-3.2

17
Q

What makes something more polar in water?

A

Polar bonds

18
Q

What are the stages of drug action?

A

absorption, distribution to target, binding at target, metabolism and excretion.

19
Q

What are the properties that are crucial to drug binding ability?

A

3D Shape and Polarisation of functional groups

20
Q

what are the crucial properties of drug absorption?

A

Hydrophobicity (across cell membrane) and hydrophilicity (through blood)

21
Q

What are the two types of enzyme inhibitors?

A

reversible and irreversible

22
Q

What is the geometry of a molecule with single, double and triple bond?

A

tetrahedral, trigonal planar and linear

23
Q

what are the three types of constitutional isomers?

A

skeletal, functional group and positional isomers

24
Q

What is a chiral centre

A

Carbon atom with four different functional groups that is not superimposable on its mirror image.

25
Q

How do you determine chilarity?

A
  1. find centre
  2. prioritise according to atomic number
  3. oriented so lowest priority number is going away from you
  4. determine of r or s
26
Q

what does r and s mean respectively?

A

r= clockwise
s= anticlockwise

27
Q

What are enantiomers?

A

Non superimpsobale mirror images

28
Q

What is chiral recognition?

A

enzymes that are drug targets are chiral and so usually only occur as a single enantiomer. drugs should only recognise one.

29
Q

diastereoisomers

A

stereoisomers that are not mirror images (differ three-dimensionally)

30
Q

How do you deterine the diastereoisomers of a molecule?

A

reverse the chilarity of any chiral centre (not all of them though)

31
Q

What does the wedge represent?

A

Towards me (out of the page)

32
Q

What does the dotted wedge mean?

A

Going away from me (into the page)

33
Q

What is the acronym for identifying HBA and HBD

A

A(acceptors)N(not)D(donors)Y(yes)

34
Q

Why in lipinski’s rule can there be 10 HBA but only 5 HBA?

A

Because all donors are also acceptors, except for amides

35
Q

What are incompatbilities?

A

antacids

36
Q

what do antacids do?

A

Alter the pH of the stomach via neutralisation, ionise drugs based on the relationship of pH and pKA and affect absorption and distribution.

37
Q

what is pKA?

A

Acid dissociation constant to the negative base log 10. Determines acids strentth

38
Q

The smaller the pKa, the. … the acid

A

stronger

39
Q

what are some antacid drugs?

A

Maalox, Tums and Rennie
