Hello please help me with my homework, thank you I really appreciate it ?
Enalapril is an anti-hypertension "prodrug" (i.e, a drug precursor) that is inactive until the ethyl ester (arrow in figure) is hydrolyzed by esterases present in blood plasma. The active drug is the dicarboxylic acid ("enalaprilat") that results from this hydrolysis reaction. (a) Enalapril is administered in pill form, but enalaprilat must be akdministered intravenously. Why do you suppose enalapril works as a pill, but enalaprilat does not? EtOoC -NH CH3 HOOC Enalapril (b) Enalaprilat is a competitive inhibitor of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which cleaves the blood-pressure regulating peptide angiotensin. ACE has a KM = 12 µM for angiotensin, which is present in plasma at a concentration of 75 µM. When enalaprilat is present at 2.4 nM, the activity of ACE in plasma is 10% of its uninhib- ited activity. What is the value of K; for enalaprilat?

1. Polyketide synthesis (PKS) is a process by which many natural products such as macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin) are made. An important part of this process is the reduction of formed ketones to alcohols using a domain known as a keto-reductase. Keto-reductase catalyzes the delivery of hydride from NAD(P)H to the ketone. Provide a logical reaction mechanism using the arrow formalism. Enz Enz S S H H H „R Keto Reductase .R OH H, OH OH ŅH2 CH3 0oC. + NH3 ОН ОН
