Reduction involves increasing the number of carbon hydrogen bonds by adding hydrogen across a double or triple bond which results in an increase in electron density at the carbon atom. Organic functional groups containing double and triple bonds which undergo reduction are unsaturated. The reduction of the double bond by addition of hydrogen atoms results in the product being fully saturated. Metal hydride reducing agents that have different reactivities toward specific functional groups are commonly used in chemical reductions.…
Minoxidil, an antihypertensive vasodilator medication, which was developed in the 1950’s by a company called Upjohn originally used to treat ulcers. During their experiments with dogs, they figured out that it did not cure ulcers, but acted as a vasodilator. Due to this recent discovery, Upjohn was able to develop a compound called Minoxidil in 1963 as well as being able to synthesize over 200 variations of the compound. The molecular structure and compound of Minoxidil is C9H15N50, made entirely of nonmetals with the molecular weight being 209.2483 g/mol, the UIPAC name being 3 hydroxy, 2 imino, 6 piperidin, 1 ylpyrimidin, and 4 amine. The percentage composition of carbon being 51.65, hydrogen being 7.24, nitrogen being 33.47, and oxygen being 7.64.…

Fentanyl According to Susan Robertson, the drug fentanyl which is an opiate agonist, has been around since the 1960s and created by Dr. Paul Jansen. "The use of fentanyl as a pain reliever and anesthetic was quickly adopted in the medical setting. In the 1960s, the agent was introduced as an intravenous anesthetic under the brand name Sublimaze"(S.Robertson)pg.1. In the 90s fentanyl was turned into a patch which breaks down into the blood stream through a period of 72 hours.…
The objective of this experiment was to oxidize 9-fluorenol with bleach to form 9-fluorenone. This was done with three different reactions, each under different conditions. The reactions were evaluated using the TLC plate to see how far each reaction progressed. During the experiment reaction test tube 2 had the darkest yellow color out of the three reactions.…
Furosemide is a medication known as a loop diuretic (Allen, 2013). A diuretic is a medication which increases the amount of urine that passes out from the kidneys and they are often referred to as water tablets. It works by eliminating water and salt from the body through urination. In the kidneys, salt and water are filtered out of the blood and into the tubules of the kidney to the Glomerulus (Waugh and Grant, 2014), making the filtered fluid into urine (Omudhome, 2014). The sodium, chloride and water that are filtered out of the blood is then reabsorbed back into the blood before being eliminated as urine (Omudhome, 2014).…
Being able to lose weight without having to exercise a lot of time is something everybody would love to experience Fortunately, this seems to be possible. In accordance with a research made recently, compound 14, a synthesized molecule that tricks cells into thinking they have exercised rigorously has just been discovered. That actually means that researchers from the University of Southampton in The UK could soon create a functioning weight-loss pill. What Does Compound 14 Do?…

John wake ups and decides to make himself a healthy and lean breakfast. John decides that a light potato and spinach quinoa breakfast bowl should be a great way to begin his day. Quinoa, a popular “super food,” that is now available in many US health food stores and supermarkets. To John, it’s a foodstuff recommended by many nutritionists and agricultural specialists, however, it is much more than that. Quinoa is a Peruvian cropped that forever changed the dietary history of the world.…
Five years ago, most of us had probably never heard of quinoa. The first time I read (and mispronounced) the word was a couple years ago, as I scrolled through Pinterest looking for healthy recipes that I had never tried before. Back then, [kee-nwa] was just an unknown grain found only in some whole-food specialty stores, but it has now risen to stardom as one of those superfoods that anyone who says they know anything about health puts into their regular rotation of meals. Today, quinoa is very trendy and is talked about like anything else in mainstream culture. Just like music trends start with local bands and then make it to the national radio, quinoa went from being an underground “foodie” grainmovement to a mainstream ingredient endorsed…
Remember to leave yourself enough time before you leave to obtain your medicines. All the malaria prevention medicines must be started before you travel. Mefloquine needs to be started two to three weeks before travel, chloroquine and proguanil should be started a week before, and Malarone and doxycycline one to two days before travelling. Chloroquine (Avloclor or Nivaquine) and proguanil (Paludrine) can be bought from pharmacies, but may have to be ordered in if you are going for a long trip.

Introduction Over the past few years, there is a worldwide increasing tendency for the consumption of functional foods, including probiotics, prebiotics or both. Influenza epidemics cause numerous deaths and millions of hospitalization each year. Because of the alarming emergence of resistance to anti-influenza drugs, there is a need to identify new naturally occurring antiviral molecules. Punicaceae has been used for centuries in many cultures for the prevention and treatment of a wide number of health disorders such as inflammation, diarrhea, dysentery, dental plaque and to combat intestinal infections. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB)…
