Drugs complexation

Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. Each has been successful enough to form the basis of startup companies trying to apply these algorithms to solve complex drug targets. The utility of these approaches will become evident in time.

Opium, as a rather complex drug with numerous forms used both medically and nonmedically, is scheduled by the DEA very specifically. Every aspect of the opium plant is considered a Schedule II controlled substance (Table 11.1). This means that it is illegal to possess or sell opium without a DEA license or prescription. More specifically, the DEA lists opium with the following wording ... 

A benzofuran ring replaces one of the benzene rings of the biphenyl moiety present in many of the sartans in the rather more complex drug saprisartan (80-10). It is of note, further, that the acidic proton is provided in this case by a trifluorosulfo-namide instead of the more common tetrazole ring. Construction of the imidazole fragment begins by nitrosation of the (3-ketoester (79-1) by means of sodium nitrite in acid to afford the oxime (79-2). Reaction with acetyl chloride leads to the ester (79-3). Reaction of this last intermediate with the iminoether from propionitrile then affords the imidazole (79-4). 

Since indinavir is an inhibitor of CYP3A4, numerous and complex drug interactions can occur (Tables 49-3 and 49-4). Combination with ritonavir (boosting) allows for twice-daily rather than thrice-daily dosing and eliminates the food restriction associated with use of indinavir. However, there is potential for an increase in nephrolithiasis with this combination compared with indinavir alone thus, a high fluid intake (1.5-2 L/d) is advised.

The last example reflects in a modest way the importance of the study of stereoisomerism. Biological conversions represent a glorious array of diastereomeric reactions and interactions a given chiral amino acid is metabolized but its enantiomer is not a certain complex drug (often a chiral molecule) alleviates pain but its enantiomer is inactive and subdc changes in structure alter a given chiral compound s action completely in the human body. 

Compared to conventional tablet and capsule dosage forms, solid dispersion formulations are relatively complex drug delivery systems, requiring a substantially greater commitment of time, effort, and resources fordevelopment. Therefore, whetherthere is a need forsolid dispersion and whetherthi...
