are deemed sufficient for court purposes.
U
26
weakly acidic compounds because of the
J
27
undergoing ionization in aqueous media forming compounds that will strongly interact with the stationary
phase in HPLC analysis, causing tailing of the peaks when analyzed using liquid chromatographic methods
U
28
Because of this, ionization is suppressed by the presence of acetic acid in the mobile phase.
Y
29
tends to be favored over HPLC.

severely from thermal decomposition and, as a result, do not chromatograph well.
T

belong to a family of compounds known as narcotic analgesics,
T

extracted from the opium poppy and its acetylation affords the semi-synthetic opiate
diacetylmorphine (diamorphine).
G
33
crude mixture of opium alkaloids obtained from the extraction of morphine from opium and the
acetylation reaction.
T

was found to have narcotic and addictive properties far
exceeding those of morphine.
H
35
the air-dried milky latex, obtained by cutting unripe pods of the opium poppy Papaver somniferum (Papaveraceae).

used as an analgesic, sleep-inducer (narcotic), and for the treatment of coughs.

Y
45
3-O-methyl ether of morphine and is the most widely used of the opium alkaloids.
K
46
Because of the
relatively small amounts found in opium, almost all of the material prescribed is manufactured by semi-synthesis
from morphine.
U
47
action is dependent on partial demethylation in the liver to produce morphine,
U
48
so it produces morphine-like
analgesic effects, but little if any euphoria.
8
49
As an analgesic, codeine has about one-tenth the potency of morphine.
U
50
It is a
relatively safe non-addictive medium analgesic, but is still too constipating for long-term use.
U
51
antitussive action, helping to relieve and prevent coughing. It effectively depresses the
cough centre, raising the threshold for sensory cough impulses.

differs structurally from morphine/codeine mainly by its possession of a conjugated diene ring system.
V
60
almost devoid of analgesic activity,
but may be used as a morphine antagonist. Its main value is as substrate for the semi-synthesis of other drugs.
V
61
benzylisoquinoline alkaloid, and is structurally very different from the morphine, codeine, thebaine group of alkaloids (
morphinans). It has little or no analgesic or hypnotic properties, but it relaxes smooth muscle in blood vessels.
F
62
member of the phthalideisoquinoline alkaloids and provides a further structural variant in the opium alkaloids.
V
63
antitussive and cough suppressant activity comparable to that of codeine, but no analgesic or narcotic action.
I
64
Despite many years of use as a cough suppressant, the finding that noscapine may have teratogenic properties (i.e.
may deform a fetus)
V
65
effective and reliable antitussive, can be obtained by alkylation with N-(chloroethyl)morpholine.
C
66
is a reduced form of codeine with similar analgesic properties.
D
67
double bond of morphine has been reduced, and in addition the 6-hydroxyl has been oxidized to a ketone.
,
68
This increases the
analgesic effects, but also the side-effects; the drug is used for severe pain associated with cancer.
B
69
diacetate of morphine; it is a highly addictive analgesic and hypnotic.
K
70
The increased lipophilic character of heroin over morphine results in
improved solubility, with better transport and absorption, though the active agent is probably the 6-acetate, the 3-acetate group being hydrolysed by
M
71
synthesized originally as a cough suppressant; and though most effective in this role, it has unpleasant addictive properties, with users
developing a psychological craving for the drug. It is widely used for terminal care, e.g. cancer sufferers, both as an analgesic and cough suppressant.
L
72
obtained from salutaridine by stereospecific reduction of the carbonyl group. Ring closure
to form the ether linkage in thebaine would be the result of nucleophilic attack of the phenol group onto the dienol
system and subsequent displacement of the hydroxyl.
D
73
treatment of salutaridinol with acid. In vivo, however, an
additional reaction is used to improve the nature of the leaving group, and this is achieved by acetylation with acetyl
-CoA. The cyclization then occurs readily, and without any enzyme participation.
C
74
The conversion of thebaine into codine and morphine, involves a process which modifies the oxidation state of the
diene ring, removing two O-methyl groups.
D
75
The enzymic demethylations of both the enol ether (in thebaine) and the phenol ether (in codeine) involve
hydroxylation followed by loss of the methyl groups as formaldehyde.
D
76
Opioid Analysis
S
77
often used as a simple and rapid screening technique to identify the opiate alkaloids and other
components that may be present in heroin samples prior to examination by other methods.
G
78
Examples of solvent systems are cyclohexane/toluene/diethylamine (75:15:10) and
toluene/acetone/ethanol/ammonia (45:45:7:3)
S
79
generates highly specific mass spectral
data enabling the definitive identification of both known and unknown components within heroin samples.
H
80
Heating the heroin street samples from 250 to 400°C produced substantial diamorphine degradation,
whereas morphine, codeine, acetylcodeine, papaverine and caffeine were heat stable.

data enabling the definitive identification of both known and unknown components within heroin samples.

stereospecific reduction of the carbonyl yields tropine with a 3α-hydroxyl, or the
isomeric ψ-tropine, the precursor of the calystegines.

is the ester of tropine with (S)-tropic acid, which is derived from l-phenylalanine via phenyl-
lactic acid.
C

the subsequent intramolecular Mannich reaction will generate a tropane skeleton with an additional carboxyl
substituent.
D
88
diester of ecgonine, the benzoyl moiety arising from phenylalanine via cinnamic acid and
benzoyl-CoA. It found in Erythroxylum coca (coca) and is used medicinally as a local anesthetic, and as an
illicit drug for its euphoric properties.

chewing has been practiced by South American Indians for many years and has been an integral
part of the native culture pattern.
J
93
Leaf is mixed with lime, thus liberating the principal alkaloid cocaine as the free base, and the combination
is then chewed. Cocaine acts as a potent antifatigue agent, and allows laborers to ignore hunger, fatigue,
and cold, enhancing physical activity and endurance. It is estimated that 25% of the harvest is consumed in
this way by the local workers, who may each use about 50 g of leaf per day (≡ 350 mg cocaine).
H
94
are extracted from crushed leaf using alkali (lime) and petrol.
D
95
The petrol extract is then re-
extracted with aqueous acid, and this alkaloid fraction is basified and allowed to stand, yielding the free
alkaloid as a paste.

This is achieved by blocking ion channels in

dentistry, and is still used in ear, nose and throat
surgery.

has become a social drug.
