Based on the definitions of pharmacophore and privileged structure, outline essential structural features a 1,4-dihyrdopyridine

must possess for effective Ca2+ channel blocking capability. (ex. functional groups, presence of electron-donating or electron-withdrawing moieties) 2. Why are the products of today's lab (dimethyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate and diethyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethylpyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate) ineffective in this regard?

Answer:

Explanation:

Pharmacophore (pharmacology) - The molecular framework responsible for a drug's biological activity. According to IUPAC — A pharmacophore is the ensemble of steric and electronic features that is necessary to ensure the optimal supramolecular interactions with a specific biological target structure and to trigger (or to block) its biological response.

Privileged structures are defined as molecular frameworks which are able of providing useful ligands for more than one type of receptor or enzyme target by judicious structural modifications.

1) The 1,4-dihydropyridine ring is present in many biologically important molecules that acts as an important scaffold for cardiovascular drug - a calcium antagonists and although it is technically not considered as a pharmacophore, it is considered as a privileged structure.

1,4-Dihydropyridine (DHP), belongs to the class of calcium antagonist that inhibits the influx of extracellular Ca+2 through the L-type voltage-dependent calcium channels.

A positional substitution in the 4-position is feasible in the heterocyclic ring which in turn culminates in various calcium channel antagonist activities and this heterocyclic ring is the common feature for various pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammatory activity, analgesic activity,

antihypertensive, antianginal, antitumor, antitubercular activity and antithrombotic .

Position on the heterocyclic ring binds to the L-type channel and also to N-type channel on membranes.

2.) The bioisosteres are not a suitable bioisostere for the traditional C-4 aryl or heteroaryl substitution which is necessary for calcium ion blockage thereby inhibiting it to function with the mechanism shared above.

How are the nature of genes expressed
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do. Moreover, each step in the flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein provides the cell with a potential control point for self-regulating its functions by adjusting the amount and type of proteins it manufactures.
At any given time, the amount of a particular protein in a cell reflects the balance between that protein's synthetic and degradative biochemical pathways. On the synthetic side of this balance, recall that protein production starts at transcription (DNA to RNA) and continues with translation (RNA to protein). Thus, control of these processes plays a critical role in determining what proteins are present in a cell and in what amounts. In addition, the way in which a cell processes its RNA transcripts and newly made proteins also greatly influences protein levels.

In ____________ , signals pass through a cell junction from one cell to adjacent cells.
erastovalidia [21]
The answer should be NEURONES (nerve cells).
Neurons transmit electrical signals called NERVE IMPULSES from the cell body through the axon to the end plate. The junction between the end plate and the adjacent cell is called SYNAPSE. impulses passes through the synapse by diffusion of chemicals.

Which molecule prevents a muscle contraction from occurring when the muscle is at rest?
AysviL [449]

Troponin-tropomyosin molecules prevents a muscle contraction from occurring when the muscle is at rest.

<h3>What is muscle contraction?</h3>

The activation of tension-producing regions within muscle cells results in muscular contraction. Because muscle tension can be created without changes in muscle length, such as when holding something heavy in the same position, muscle contraction does not always imply muscle shortening in physiology. Muscle relaxation, or the return of the muscular fibers to their low tension-generating state, occurs after a muscle contraction has finished.

Both length and tension can be used to characterize muscle contractions. If the muscle tension varies but the muscle length doesn't, the muscle contraction is said to be isometric. A muscle contraction is isotonic, however, if the tension in the muscle remains constant during the contraction.
