mart [117]

Answer:

Option A, a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract

Explanation:

The complete question is

If you were working for a pharmaceutical company as part of a drug discovery team, which of these enzyme inhibitors would you suggest as a productive avenue for drug development?

a) a drug to treat high blood pressure that reversibly inhibits an enzyme catalyzing production of a chemical that causes blood vessels to contract

b) a drug to treat diabetes that irreversibly inhibits an enzyme in the metabolic pathway to synthesize glucose

c) a compound that acts as a competitive inhibitor for a digestive enzyme produced only in the presence of certain foods

d) a compound that inhibits enzymes by significantly changing the ph throughout the body

Solution

Productive avenue of a drug simply means producing an drug that not only treats the main disease or disorder but also functions to inhibit the causative agent activity. In case of option A, both the objectives of producing drug are met and hence it is the right choice.

High blood pressure usually affects the blood vessels by narrowing them and in severe cases may rupture them. If a drug as stated in option A is produced, it will not only rectify the effects of high blood pressure but will also prevent the blood vessels from narrowing by inhibiting the activity of enzymes responsible for producing chemical that leads to blood vessel contraction.

Hence, option A is correct

<h2>Down Syndrome</h2>

Explanation:

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21

  • Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused when abnormal cell division results in an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21
  • Down syndrome is usually caused by an error in cell division called nondisjunction which results in an embryo with three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the usual two
  • Prior to or at conception, a pair of 21st chromosomes in either the sperm or the egg fails to separates
  • With development in embryo the extra chromosome is replicated in every cell of the body;this type of Down syndrome which accounts for 95% of cases is called trisomy 21
  • Maternal age is the only factor that has been linked to an increased chance of having a baby with Down syndrome resulting from nondisjunction;here environmental agents such as drugs, chemicals, and radiation act as mutagens which induce mutation in the fetus
