C=O
Ring
O’s

.
Organophosphates (sarin, DIFP) - structure
F-
CH3
Organophosphates (sarin, DIFP) - function
Suicide inactivator of AChE
Organophosphates (sarin, DIFP) - function
More ACh, death
Atropine - function
Binds ACh receptor (buys more time to make AChE)
Atropine - body
Treat organophosphate poisoning
Pralidoxime - function

COO-
2 CH3
β-lactam ring
PCN - function
Tricks cell wall transpeptidase into thinking it’s D-Ala-D-Ala
PCN - body
ATB - inhibit bac cell wall synthesis
Augmentin - structure (and parts)
Like PCN
Has amoxand clavulanate
Augmentin - function
Tricks β-lactamase (produced by bacteria)
Augmentin - body
ATB - fights ATB resistance to PCN
Acyclovir - structure
Like G
Acyclovir - function
Stop DNA synthesis
Acyclovir - body
Treat HSV
5-F-U - structure
Like dUMP except F instead of H
5-F-U - function
Suicide thymidylate synthase (so no T for DNA synthesis)
