1litre of solution

Moles= Mass in grams

Molecular weight

Molarity M = Mass in grams/Molecularweight

1 litre of solution

Weight required= Molarity*Molecular weight*1litre of solution

 

Example:

For 0.2 M NaOH:

Weight required= Molecular weight*Molarity*1litre

                           = 40*0.2*1

                            = 8gms/1L

Example:

For 2M HCl (in 100ml):

Density= 1.19 g/cm

% purity= 37%

MB=37*1.19*10/38.5

      =12.06in 1000ml 0f water.

MB*VB= moles required *volume required

VB= moles required*volume required/MB

      =2*100/12.06

VB= 16.6ml in 100ml water to make 2M HCl solution.

*make up the volume upto 100ml

NORMALITY:

Molecular weight= 98g/mol

Gram equivalent=98/2

                          = 49

NB= %Purity*Density*10

Gram equivalent

       = 96*1.84*10

Example:

For 0.1 N Ca(OH)2 (100ml)

Molecular weight= 72g/ml

No of replaceable ions= 2

Gram equivalent= 72/2

                           = 36

Weight required= Normality *Gram equivalent* 1litre

=0.1*36*1 litre

=3.6g/1000ml

If 1000ml contains=3.6g of Ca(OH)2

1ml contains=3.6/1000 of Ca(OH)2

100ml contains=3.6/1000*100 of Ca(OH)2

=0.36gms/100ml of Ca(OH)2

EXPERIMENT 10

SYNTHESIS OF PARACETAMOL AND STUDY OF ITS STRUCTURAL ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP (SAR).

Introduction:

Paracetamol is very widely used analgesic and antipyretic. It is a relatively safe drug though toxicity has been observed with very high dose.

Physical properties:

Pure paracetamol is a white crystalline solid which melt at 169ยบC. It is sparingly soluble in cold water but in hot water its solubility is about 5g/100ml. It is quite soluble in ethanol 14g/100ml.

The drug Acetaminophen was formly used as antipyretic to relieve fever but long term use of phenacetin cause kidney damage and urothelial neoplasm. In 1893 Joseph Von Mering discovered paracetamol, which was found to be not only a good antpyretic but also a much safer one than phenacetin.

 

Synthesis:

 

2622314_orig.png

 

Procedure:

1.      1g of 4-aminophenol and 9ml of distilled water was placed in 50ml conical flask and stirring briskly at room temp,  in order to suspend the solid in water.

2.      In a fume covered, 1.17g (1.1ml) of acetic anhydride or acid chloride was added to stirred suspension and gently shake to mix. The solid got dissolved after about 30 sec, shaking was continue until precipitate was formed.

3.      After 10 min. the solid was filtered off under suction, washed with little cold water and dried.

4.      The product was purified by distillation by dissolving crude product in minimum of distilled water at about 80ยบ C.

5.      The clear solution was allowed to cool slowly to room temperature and recrystallized product was collected by suction filteration.

6.      The recrystallized product was dried between filter papers and then yield was determined.

Paracetamol toxicity:

 

 

N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) is a toxic byproduct produced during xenobiotic metabolism of paracetamol.

It is normally produced only in small amount and then immediately detoxified in liver.

In adults primary metabolic pathway for paracetamol is glucoronidation. This yields a relatively non-toxic metabolite which is excreted in bile and passed out of the body.

A small amount of drug is metabolized by CYP450 pathway (CYP3A4, CYP2E1) into NAPQI which is extremely toxic to liver tissue as well as a strong biochemical oxidizer.

In an average adult only a small amount (appx. 10% of therapeutic dose) of NAPQI produced which is inactivated by conjugation with glutathione. (At high dose this enzyme get saturated and relative metabolite produce damaging effect on hepatocytes)

 

Precaution:

 

1.      Though NH2 is more nucleophilic than OH excess acetic anhydride/acid chloride should be avoided as there is a chance of double acetylation of 4-aminophenol.

2.      Avoid too high temperature.

 

 

 

 

 

 

STRUCTURAL ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP (SAR):

 

N-4-hydroxyphenylacetamide.gif

 

1.      Presence of 1-4,di-substitution at benzene is necessary for analgesic and antipyretic activity.

2.       Same functionalities at 1-2, or 1-3-position if benzene destroy its activity.

3.      Conjugation in the system is necessary for its activity.

4.       N-acetyl group increases the activity and decreases the toxicity.
