Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The compounds which are expected to cross the BBB the easiest and the compounds which are expected to cross the BBB the hardest has to be given and also provide a chemical rationale for the answer.
Concept introduction:
Blood-brain barrier (BBB) is made up membrane lipids.
The breaching of BBB is depending upon the solubility of substances in the membrane.
Alcohols are very soluble in lipids.

Consider the decapeptide angiotensin I.a. What products are formed when angiotensin I is treated with trypsin?b. What products are formed when angiotensin I is treated with chymotrypsin?c. Treatment of angiotensin I with ACE (the angiotensin-converting enzyme) cleaves only the amide bond with the carbonyl group derived from phenylalanine to afford two products. The larger polypeptide is angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure. Give the amino acid sequence of angiotensin II using three-letter abbreviations. ACE inhibitors are drugs that lower blood pressure by inhibiting the ACE enzyme
List two classes of compounds derived from arachidonic acid. Suggest some reasons for the amount of biomedical research devoted to these compounds.
Cholestyramine is an anion-exchange resin used by clinicians to lower serum cholesterol in patients. This oral medication forms insoluble complexes with bile salts in theintestine, thus preventing their reabsorption. Explain themechanism by which cholestyramine lowers serum cholesterol levels.
