Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The structure of (R)- and (S)-penicillamine is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. The configuration of compound is R and S when the substituents around stereogenic center, from higher priority to lower priority, are present in clockwise and anticlockwise direction, respectively.
(b)
Interpretation: The disulfide formed by the oxidation of (S)-penicillamine is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The chemical compounds in which carbon is bonded with acidic and basic group along with hydrocarbon side chain are known as amino acids. A disulphide bond is formed when two amino acids containing

- 2. Flavopiridol was the first semi-synthetic cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor to be tested in clinical trials. Research has shown that co-administration of flavopiridol with drugs such as the taxanes had synergistic cytotoxic effects against a variety of tumour cells. HO но. HO CI 2.2 Name two classes of compounds that appear in the structure of flavopiridol.arrow_forwardB) Which of the compounds pictured could be identified as one controlling the development of the sex organs and secondary sexual characteristics? Would it react with NaBH4? Explain why or why not.arrow_forwardDigitalis is a preparation made from the dried seeds and leaves of the purple foxglove, Digitalis purpurea, a plant native to southern and central Europe and cultivated in the United States. The preparation is a mixture of several active components, including digitalin. Digitalis is used in medicine to increase the force of myocardial contraction and as a conduction depressant to decrease heart rate (the heart pumps more forcefully but less often).arrow_forward
