Baclofen, a commonly prescribed muscle relaxant, can exist as either the S or the R enantiomer. The Renantiomer, shown above as its HCl salt, is significantly more potent than the S enantiomer. Answer the following questions related to the optical properties of (R)-baclofen. a) A 100.0 mg sample of (R)-baclofen is dissolved in 50.0 mL of water. The solution is placed in a 1.0 dm polarimeter tube and analyzed using the 589 nm D-line of sodium at 25 °C. The observed rotation is -0.004°. Determine the specific rotation for (R)-

Paroxetine (Paxil) is an antidepressant that is a member of a family of drugs known as Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIS). This family of drugs also includes fluoxetine (Prozac) and sertraline (Zoloft). SSRIS work by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the synapses of the central nervous system follow- ing release of serotonin during excitation of individual nerve cells. Between firings, the serotonin is taken back up by a nerve cell in preparation for firing again. Inhibition of reuptake has the effect of increasing the time serotonin molecules remain in the syn- apses following excitation, leading to a therapeutic effect.

Penicillins and other β-lactam antibiotics typically develop a resistance to bacteria due to bacterial synthesis of β-lactamase enzymes. Tazobactam, however, is able to inhibit the activity of the β-lactamase by trapping it, thereby preventing resistance from developing.
