From name

While the trivial and trade nomenclature in most cases has accidental character, the lUPAC Commission has worked out a series of rules [4] which allow the great majority of structures to be represented uniformly, though there still exists some ambiguity within this nomenclature. Thus, many structures can have more than one name. It is important that the rules of some dialects of the lUPAC systematic nomenclature are transformed into a program code. Thus, programs for generating the names from chemical structures, and vice versa (structures from names) have been created [5] (see Chapter II, Section 2 in the Handbook). 

Historically the only melanocortin peptide to be used clinically is the parent hormone from which all these peptides are derived from namely ACTH (see above). It has also been used in the treatment infantile spasms for epilepsy, where it is administered as an intramuscular injection only over a 2-12 weeks period. Obvious side effects include weight gain, puffy face, high blood pressure and an increased risk of infection and should never be administered to patients with diabetics, renal or heart failure. ACTH is also used as a stimulation test to measure adrenal cortex activity, i.e. production of cortisol and is used to ascertain whether someone has Addison s disease. 

Work from name to formula, using information about polyatomic ions and being careful to build a formula that is electrically neutral. 

Atoms and their symbols were introduced in Chap. 3 and 1. In this chapter, the representation of compounds by their formulas will be developed. The formula for a compound (Sec. 4.3) contains much information of use to the chemist. We will learn how to calculate the number of atoms of each element in a formula unit of a compound. Since atoms are so tiny, we will learn to use large groups of atoms—moles of atoms—to ease our calculations. We will learn to calculate the percent by mass of each element in the compound. We will learn how to calculate the simplest formula from percent composition data, and to calculate molecular formulas from simplest formulas and molecular weights. The procedure for writing formulas from names or from knowledge of the elements involved will be presented in Chaps. 5. ft. and 13. 

In the preceding and the earlier expressions, session-5, ibm, and 1999/7/23 are names that refer to specific objects—only names of objects can start off navigation expressions startDate, instructor, course, and client are attributes—they occur to the right of the dot. Usually the names that refer to objects are variable names, such as formally named parameters to actions or local variables, and constants, such as 1999/7/23, A, and 15. We build navigation expressions from names and attributes.

The foregoing examples illustrate that naming compounds from structures or deducing structures from names requires knowledge of both the parent names and the substituent names of the important types of functional and nonfunctional groups. This information is summarized in the following sections and Table 7-1.

Rules for writing formulas from names will also be presented. An outline of the classes that wiU be presented is given in Table 6-1, and rules for naming compounds in the different classes are illustrated in Fig. 6-1. These summaries are available if you want them, but they are not the only way to remember the varioup systems. Use either one or the other if you wish, but not both.
