Question
Chapter 8, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction
To explain:
The functions of statins along with comparing statins with stanol esters.
Introduction:
Statins are the class of medicines which has a mechanism of action of inhibiting activity on enzyme HMG CoA reductase. Statins are useful for controlling blood cholesterols level.
Stanol esters also known as Phytosterols are produced in plant cell membrane. Stanol esters have similar structure like cholesterol and they block the absorption of cholesterol and reduce the level of cholesterol in blood.

what are the different classes and some examples of neuroprotectants that can be used to treat, prevent, or combat neurotoxicity/a neurotoxicant...for example, antioxidants, nutraceuticals, etc.,..?
Imagine that aldolase can react with the seven carbon molecule Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate (below). Use the mechanism to predict the two products generated.
Please draw out the stereochemistry in a fischer projection.
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a potent inhibitor of aldolase. It is known to ONLY inhibit theenzyme when it is complexed with substrate. Treatment of the enzyme alone has no effect.What is the mechanism for this inhibition?
Please draw out the mechanism and show how it inhibits this.
