&lt;br /&gt;
Confusingly, this popular anti-biotic is also known as azithromycin, and is marketed as zithromax by Pfizer. According to their website, it&#039;s the most widely sold antibiotic in the world. It is a member of a large class of antibiotics derived from erythromycin, which differs only from azithromycin in that the nitrogen in the macrocycle is replaced by a carbonyl group. They have similar activities with respect to bacteria and appear to work in much the same way, but azithromycin is much more readily accepted by the body, causing fewer and less severe side effects. This means that even though the drug itself is more expensive, the overall cost of its&#039; use is lower as less follow up appointments are required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mode of action==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic which works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting the translation of mRNA. This inhibits the growth of the bacteria, their ability to replicate and increase in numbers. This therefore stops the spread of infection and allows the body&#039;s immune system to kill any remaining bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994 a [http://www.rsc.org/ejarchive/C3/1994/C39940001615.pdf joint study] conducted by Smithkline Beechams (now trading as GlaxoSmithKline) and the University of Manchester established using real time NMR spectroscopy and other more specialised methods that the drug molecule binds to the bacterial ribosomes in a two stage process, the first of which is the formation of a weak interaction between the ribosome and the amine in the macrocycle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is able to combat a variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of bacterial infections namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Chest or lower respiratory tract infections of the lungs and airways such as pneumonia and bronchitis.&lt;br /&gt;
* Upper respiratory tract infections of the nasal passages, sinuses and throat such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and pharyngitis.&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the middle ear such as otitis media&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the skin or soft tissue caused by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus| staphylococcus aureus]&lt;br /&gt;
*Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin may not be used on people with allegic reactions to macrolide type antibiotics, eg erythromycin, or liver disease. The safety of zithromycin for use during pregnancy has not been established and as such is not recommended. Zithromycin can pass into breast milk and so is also not recommended for use by breast feeding mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Dose==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin should be taken at least one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal to prevent it from binding to food and not being absorbed by the small intestine. Zithromycin should be taken once daily for a short course of five days for the majority of infections. Zithromycin is usually given as a double dose, 500mg, on the first day and as a single dose, 250mg once daily for the remaining four days and can be taken in tablet form or as an intravenous injection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pharmacokinetics==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is acid stable and thus can be taken orally without the need to protect it from the gastric acids. Zithromycin is readily absorbed, and can diffuse into most tissues. Phagocytes in the body take up the zithromycin and actively transport the drug to the site of infection where it is actively released by phagocytosis. Thus large concentrations of zithromycin can be built up at the site of infection, with the concentration being up to 50 times higher in the tissue than in the plasma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side effects==   &lt;br /&gt;
*Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain&lt;br /&gt;
*Headache&lt;br /&gt;
*Loss of appetite&lt;br /&gt;
*Dizziness&lt;br /&gt;
*Thrush infections&lt;br /&gt;
*Somnolence (sleepiness)&lt;br /&gt;
*Asthenia (weakness or loss of strength) &lt;br /&gt;
*Anxiety and agitation&lt;br /&gt;
*Hyperactivity&lt;br /&gt;
*Paraesthesia (pins and needles)&lt;br /&gt;
*Hearing distubances&lt;br /&gt;
*Palpitations (awareness of your heartbeat) &lt;br /&gt;
*Arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats)&lt;br /&gt;
*Arthralgia (pain in the joints)&lt;br /&gt;
*Decrease in the number of platelets or white blood cells in the blood&lt;br /&gt;
*Allergic skin reactions&lt;br /&gt;
*Photosensitivity (abnormal reaction of the skin to light, usually a rash)&lt;br /&gt;
*Convulsions (seizures)&lt;br /&gt;
*Liver or kidney disorders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
A chemoselective methylation method for preparing zithromycin from 11-aza-10-deoxo-10-dihydroerythromycin and paraformaldehyde is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Confusingly, this popular anti-biotic is also known as azithromycin, and is marketed as zithromax by Pfizer. According to their website, it&#039;s the most widely sold antibiotic in the world. It is a member of a large class of antibiotics derived from erythromycin, which differs only from azithromycin in that the nitrogen in the macrocycle is replaced by a carbonyl group. They have similar activities with respect to bacteria and appear to work in much the same way, but azithromycin is much more readily accepted by the body, causing fewer and less severe side effects. This means that even though the drug itself is more expensive, the overall cost of its&#039; use is lower as less follow up appointments are required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mode of action==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic which works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting the translation of mRNA. This inhibits the growth of the bacteria, their ability to replicate and increase in numbers. This therefore stops the spread of infection and allows the body&#039;s immune system to kill any remaining bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994 a [http://www.rsc.org/ejarchive/C3/1994/C39940001615.pdf joint study] conducted by Smithkline Beechams (now trading as GlaxoSmithKline) and the University of Manchester established using real time NMR spectroscopy and other more specialised methods that the drug molecule binds to the bacterial ribosomes in a two stage process, the first of which is the formation of a weak interaction between the ribosome and the amine in the macrocycle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is able to combat a variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of bacterial infections namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Chest or lower respiratory tract infections of the lungs and airways such as pneumonia and bronchitis.&lt;br /&gt;
* Upper respiratory tract infections of the nasal passages, sinuses and throat such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and pharyngitis.&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the middle ear such as otitis media&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the skin or soft tissue caused by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus| staphylococcus aureus]&lt;br /&gt;
*Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin may not be used on people with allegic reactions to macrolide type antibiotics, eg erythromycin, or liver disease. The safety of zithromycin for use during pregnancy has not been established and as such is not recommended. Zithromycin can pass into breast milk and so is also not recommended for use by breast feeding mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Dose==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin should be taken at least one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal to prevent it from binding to food and not being absorbed by the small intestine. Zithromycin should be taken once daily for a short course of five days for the majority of infections. Zithromycin is usually given as a double dose, 500mg, on the first day and as a single dose, 250mg once daily for the remaining four days and can be taken in tablet form or as an intravenous injection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pharmacokinetics==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is acid stable and thus can be taken orally without the need to protect it from the gastric acids. Zithromycin is readily absorbed, and can diffuse into most tissues. Phagocytes in the body take up the zithromycin and actively transport the drug to the site of infection where it is actively released by phagocytosis. Thus large concentrations of zithromycin can be built up at the site of infection, with the concentration being up to 50 times higher in the tissue than in the plasma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side effects==   &lt;br /&gt;
*Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain&lt;br /&gt;
*Headache&lt;br /&gt;
*Loss of appetite&lt;br /&gt;
*Dizziness&lt;br /&gt;
*Thrush infections&lt;br /&gt;
*Somnolence (sleepiness)&lt;br /&gt;
*Asthenia (weakness or loss of strength) &lt;br /&gt;
*Anxiety and agitation&lt;br /&gt;
*Hyperactivity&lt;br /&gt;
*Paraesthesia (pins and needles)&lt;br /&gt;
*Hearing distubances&lt;br /&gt;
*Palpitations (awareness of your heartbeat) &lt;br /&gt;
*Arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats)&lt;br /&gt;
*Arthralgia (pain in the joints)&lt;br /&gt;
*Decrease in the number of platelets or white blood cells in the blood&lt;br /&gt;
*Allergic skin reactions&lt;br /&gt;
*Photosensitivity (abnormal reaction of the skin to light, usually a rash)&lt;br /&gt;
*Convulsions (seizures)&lt;br /&gt;
*Liver or kidney disorders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
A chemoselective methylation method for preparing zithromycin from 11-aza-10-deoxo-10-dihydroerythromycin and paraformaldehyde is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Confusingly, this popular anti-biotic is also known as azithromycin, and is marketed as zithromax by Pfizer. According to their website, it&#039;s the most widely sold antibiotic in the world. It is a member of a large class of antibiotics derived from erythromycin, which differs only from azithromycin in that the nitrogen in the macrocycle is replaced by a carbonyl group. They have similar activities and appear to work in much the same way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mode of action==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic which works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting the translation of mRNA. This inhibits the growth of the bacteria, their ability to replicate and increase in numbers. This therefore stops the spread of infection and allows the body&#039;s immune system to kill any remaining bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994 a [http://www.rsc.org/ejarchive/C3/1994/C39940001615.pdf joint study] conducted by Smithkline Beechams (now trading as GlaxoSmithKline) and the University of Manchester established using real time NMR spectroscopy and other more specialised methods that the drug molecule binds to the bacterial ribosomes in a two stage process, the first of which is the formation of a weak interaction between the ribosome and the amine in the macrocycle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is able to combat a variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of bacterial infections namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Chest or lower respiratory tract infections of the lungs and airways such as pneumonia and bronchitis.&lt;br /&gt;
* Upper respiratory tract infections of the nasal passages, sinuses and throat such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and pharyngitis.&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the middle ear such as otitis media&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the skin or soft tissue caused by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus| staphylococcus aureus]&lt;br /&gt;
*Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin may not be used on people with allegic reactions to macrolide type antibiotics, eg erythromycin, or liver disease. The safety of zithromycin for use during pregnancy has not been established and as such is not recommended. Zithromycin can pass into breast milk and so is also not recommended for use by breast feeding mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Dose==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin should be taken at least one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal to prevent it from binding to food and not being absorbed by the small intestine. Zithromycin should be taken once daily for a short course of five days for the majority of infections. Zithromycin is usually given as a double dose, 500mg, on the first day and as a single dose, 250mg once daily for the remaining four days and can be taken in tablet form or as an intravenous injection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pharmacokinetics==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is acid stable and thus can be taken orally without the need to protect it from the gastric acids. Zithromycin is readily absorbed, and can diffuse into most tissues. Phagocytes in the body take up the zithromycin and actively transport the drug to the site of infection where it is actively released by phagocytosis. Thus large concentrations of zithromycin can be built up at the site of infection, with the concentration being up to 50 times higher in the tissue than in the plasma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side effects==   &lt;br /&gt;
*Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain&lt;br /&gt;
*Headache&lt;br /&gt;
*Loss of appetite&lt;br /&gt;
*Dizziness&lt;br /&gt;
*Thrush infections&lt;br /&gt;
*Somnolence (sleepiness)&lt;br /&gt;
*Asthenia (weakness or loss of strength) &lt;br /&gt;
*Anxiety and agitation&lt;br /&gt;
*Hyperactivity&lt;br /&gt;
*Paraesthesia (pins and needles)&lt;br /&gt;
*Hearing distubances&lt;br /&gt;
*Palpitations (awareness of your heartbeat) &lt;br /&gt;
*Arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats)&lt;br /&gt;
*Arthralgia (pain in the joints)&lt;br /&gt;
*Decrease in the number of platelets or white blood cells in the blood&lt;br /&gt;
*Allergic skin reactions&lt;br /&gt;
*Photosensitivity (abnormal reaction of the skin to light, usually a rash)&lt;br /&gt;
*Convulsions (seizures)&lt;br /&gt;
*Liver or kidney disorders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
A chemoselective methylation method for preparing zithromycin from 11-aza-10-deoxo-10-dihydroerythromycin and paraformaldehyde is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Confusingly, this popular anti-biotic is also known as azithromycin, and is marketed as zithromax by Pfizer. According to their website, it&#039;s the most widely sold antibiotic in the world. It is a member of a large class of antibiotics derived from erythromycin, which differs only from azithromycin in that the nitrogen in the macrocycle is replaced by a carbonyl group. They have similar activities and appear to work in much the same way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mode of action==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic which works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting the translation of mRNA. This inhibits the growth of the bacteria, their ability to replicate and increase in numbers. This therefore stops the spread of infection and allows the body&#039;s immune system to kill any remaining bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994 a [http://www.rsc.org/ejarchive/C3/1994/C39940001615.pdf joint study] conducted by Smithkline Beechams (now trading as GlaxoSmithKline) and the University of Manchester established using real time NMR spectroscopy and other more specialised methods that the drug molecule binds to the bacterial ribosomes in a two stage process, the first of which is the formation of a weak interaction between the ribosome and the amine in the macrocycle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is able to combat a variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of bacterial infections namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Chest or lower respiratory tract infections of the lungs and airways such as pneumonia and bronchitis.&lt;br /&gt;
* Upper respiratory tract infections of the nasal passages, sinuses and throat such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and pharyngitis.&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the middle ear such as otitis media&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the skin or soft tissue caused by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus| staphylococcus aureus]&lt;br /&gt;
*Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin may not be used on people with allegic reactions to macrolide type antibiotics, eg erythromycin, or liver disease. The safety of zithromycin for use during pregnancy has not been established and as such is not recommended. Zithromycin can pass into breast milk and so is also not recommended for use by breast feeding mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Dose==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin should be taken at least one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal to prevent it from binding to food and not being absorbed by the small intestine. Zithromycin should be taken once daily for a short course of five days for the majority of infections. Zithromycin is usually given as a double dose, 500mg, on the first day and as a single dose, 250mg once daily for the remaining four days and can be taken in tablet form or as an intravenous injection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pharmacokinetics==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is acid stable and thus can be taken orally without the need to protect it from the gastric acids. Zithromycin is readily absorbed, and can diffuse into most tissues. Phagocytes in the body take up the zithromycin and actively transport the drug to the site of infection where it is actively released by phagocytosis. Thus large concentrations of zithromycin can be built up at the site of infection, with the concentration being up to 50 times higher in the tissue than in the plasma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side effects==   &lt;br /&gt;
*Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain&lt;br /&gt;
*Headache&lt;br /&gt;
*Loss of appetite&lt;br /&gt;
*Dizziness&lt;br /&gt;
*Thrush infections&lt;br /&gt;
*Somnolence (sleepiness)&lt;br /&gt;
*Asthenia (weakness or loss of strength) &lt;br /&gt;
*Anxiety and agitation&lt;br /&gt;
*Hyperactivity&lt;br /&gt;
*Paraesthesia (pins and needles)&lt;br /&gt;
*Hearing distubances&lt;br /&gt;
*Palpitations (awareness of your heartbeat) &lt;br /&gt;
*Arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats)&lt;br /&gt;
*Arthralgia (pain in the joints)&lt;br /&gt;
*Decrease in the number of platelets or white blood cells in the blood&lt;br /&gt;
*Allergic skin reactions&lt;br /&gt;
*Photosensitivity (abnormal reaction of the skin to light, usually a rash)&lt;br /&gt;
*Convulsions (seizures)&lt;br /&gt;
*Liver or kidney disorders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
A chemoselective methylation method for preparing zithromycin from 11-aza-10-deoxo-10-dihydroerythromycin and paraformaldehyde is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Confusingly, this popular anti-biotic is also known as azithromycin, and is marketed as zithromax by Pfizer. According to their website, it&#039;s the most widely sold antibiotic in the world. it is a member of a large class of antibiotics derived from erythromycin, which differs only from azithromycin in that the nitrogen in the macrocycle is replaced by a carbonyl group. they have similar activities and appear to work in much the same way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mode of action==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic which works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting the translation of mRNA. This inhibits the growth of the bacteria, their ability to replicate and increase in numbers. This therefore stops the spread of infection and allows the body&#039;s immune system to kill any remaining bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994 a [http://www.rsc.org/ejarchive/C3/1994/C39940001615.pdf joint study] conducted by Smithkline Beechams (now trading as GlaxoSmithKline) and the University of Manchester established using real time NMR spectroscopy and other more specialised methods that the drug molecule binds to the bacterial ribosomes in a two stage process, the first of which is the formation of a weak interaction between the ribosome and the amine in the macrocycle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is able to combat a variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of bacterial infections namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Chest or lower respiratory tract infections of the lungs and airways such as pneumonia and bronchitis.&lt;br /&gt;
* Upper respiratory tract infections of the nasal passages, sinuses and throat such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and pharyngitis.&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the middle ear such as otitis media&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the skin or soft tissue caused by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus| staphylococcus aureus]&lt;br /&gt;
*Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin may not be used on people with allegic reactions to macrolide type antibiotics, eg erythromycin, or liver disease. The safety of zithromycin for use during pregnancy has not been established and as such is not recommended. Zithromycin can pass into breast milk and so is also not recommended for use by breast feeding mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Dose==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin should be taken at least one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal to prevent it from binding to food and not being absorbed by the small intestine. Zithromycin should be taken once daily for a short course of five days for the majority of infections. Zithromycin is usually given as a double dose, 500mg, on the first day and as a single dose, 250mg once daily for the remaining four days and can be taken in tablet form or as an intravenous injection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pharmacokinetics==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is acid stable and thus can be taken orally without the need to protect it from the gastric acids. Zithromycin is readily absorbed, and can diffuse into most tissues. Phagocytes in the body take up the zithromycin and actively transport the drug to the site of infection where it is actively released by phagocytosis. Thus large concentrations of zithromycin can be built up at the site of infection, with the concentration being up to 50 times higher in the tissue than in the plasma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side effects==   &lt;br /&gt;
*Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain&lt;br /&gt;
*Headache&lt;br /&gt;
*Loss of appetite&lt;br /&gt;
*Dizziness&lt;br /&gt;
*Thrush infections&lt;br /&gt;
*Somnolence (sleepiness)&lt;br /&gt;
*Asthenia (weakness or loss of strength) &lt;br /&gt;
*Anxiety and agitation&lt;br /&gt;
*Hyperactivity&lt;br /&gt;
*Paraesthesia (pins and needles)&lt;br /&gt;
*Hearing distubances&lt;br /&gt;
*Palpitations (awareness of your heartbeat) &lt;br /&gt;
*Arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats)&lt;br /&gt;
*Arthralgia (pain in the joints)&lt;br /&gt;
*Decrease in the number of platelets or white blood cells in the blood&lt;br /&gt;
*Allergic skin reactions&lt;br /&gt;
*Photosensitivity (abnormal reaction of the skin to light, usually a rash)&lt;br /&gt;
*Convulsions (seizures)&lt;br /&gt;
*Liver or kidney disorders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
A chemoselective methylation method for preparing zithromycin from 11-aza-10-deoxo-10-dihydroerythromycin and paraformaldehyde is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Confusingly, this popular anti-biotic is also known as azithromycin, and is marketed as zithromax by Pfizer. According to their website, it&#039;s the most widely sold antibiotic in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mode of action==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic which works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting the translation of mRNA. This inhibits the growth of the bacteria, their ability to replicate and increase in numbers. This therefore stops the spread of infection and allows the body&#039;s immune system to kill any remaining bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994 a [http://www.rsc.org/ejarchive/C3/1994/C39940001615.pdf joint study] conducted by Smithkline Beechams (now trading as GlaxoSmithKline) and the University of Manchester established using real time NMR spectroscopy and other more specialised methods that the drug molecule binds to the bacterial ribosomes in a two stage process, the first of which is the formation of a weak interaction between the ribosome and the amine in the macrocycle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is able to combat a variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of bacterial infections namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Chest or lower respiratory tract infections of the lungs and airways such as pneumonia and bronchitis.&lt;br /&gt;
* Upper respiratory tract infections of the nasal passages, sinuses and throat such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and pharyngitis.&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the middle ear such as otitis media&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the skin or soft tissue caused by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus| staphylococcus aureus]&lt;br /&gt;
*Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin may not be used on people with allegic reactions to macrolide type antibiotics, eg erythromycin, or liver disease. The safety of zithromycin for use during pregnancy has not been established and as such is not recommended. Zithromycin can pass into breast milk and so is also not recommended for use by breast feeding mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Dose==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin should be taken at least one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal to prevent it from binding to food and not being absorbed by the small intestine. Zithromycin should be taken once daily for a short course of five days for the majority of infections. Zithromycin is usually given as a double dose, 500mg, on the first day and as a single dose, 250mg once daily for the remaining four days and can be taken in tablet form or as an intravenous injection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pharmacokinetics==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is acid stable and thus can be taken orally without the need to protect it from the gastric acids. Zithromycin is readily absorbed, and can diffuse into most tissues. Phagocytes in the body take up the zithromycin and actively transport the drug to the site of infection where it is actively released by phagocytosis. Thus large concentrations of zithromycin can be built up at the site of infection, with the concentration being up to 50 times higher in the tissue than in the plasma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side effects==   &lt;br /&gt;
*Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain&lt;br /&gt;
*Headache&lt;br /&gt;
*Loss of appetite&lt;br /&gt;
*Dizziness&lt;br /&gt;
*Thrush infections&lt;br /&gt;
*Somnolence (sleepiness)&lt;br /&gt;
*Asthenia (weakness or loss of strength) &lt;br /&gt;
*Anxiety and agitation&lt;br /&gt;
*Hyperactivity&lt;br /&gt;
*Paraesthesia (pins and needles)&lt;br /&gt;
*Hearing distubances&lt;br /&gt;
*Palpitations (awareness of your heartbeat) &lt;br /&gt;
*Arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats)&lt;br /&gt;
*Arthralgia (pain in the joints)&lt;br /&gt;
*Decrease in the number of platelets or white blood cells in the blood&lt;br /&gt;
*Allergic skin reactions&lt;br /&gt;
*Photosensitivity (abnormal reaction of the skin to light, usually a rash)&lt;br /&gt;
*Convulsions (seizures)&lt;br /&gt;
*Liver or kidney disorders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
A chemoselective methylation method for preparing zithromycin from 11-aza-10-deoxo-10-dihydroerythromycin and paraformaldehyde is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Confusingly, this popular anti-biotic is also known as azithromycin, and is marketed as zithromax by Pfizer. According to their website, it&#039;s the most widely sold antibiotic in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mode of action==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic which works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting the translation of mRNA. This inhibits the growth of the bacteria, their ability to replicate and increase in numbers. This therefore stops the spread of infection and allows the body&#039;s immune system to kill any remaining bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994 a [http://www.rsc.org/ejarchive/C3/1994/C39940001615.pdf joint study] conducted by Smithkline Beechams (now trading as GlaxoSmithKline) and the University of Manchester established using real time NMR spectroscopy and other more specialised methods that the drug molecule binds to the bacterial ribosomes in a two stage process, the first of which is the formation of a weak interaction between the ribosome and one of the ketone groups on the macrocycle. This is inferred from the fact that this ketone tautomerises to a a hemiacetal and back (shown below) in a fast exchange process. They showed that only the ketone isomer interaced with the bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is able to combat a variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of bacterial infections namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Chest or lower respiratory tract infections of the lungs and airways such as pneumonia and bronchitis.&lt;br /&gt;
* Upper respiratory tract infections of the nasal passages, sinuses and throat such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and pharyngitis.&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the middle ear such as otitis media&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the skin or soft tissue caused by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus| staphylococcus aureus]&lt;br /&gt;
*Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin may not be used on people with allegic reactions to macrolide type antibiotics, eg erythromycin, or liver disease. The safety of zithromycin for use during pregnancy has not been established and as such is not recommended. Zithromycin can pass into breast milk and so is also not recommended for use by breast feeding mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Dose==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin should be taken at least one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal to prevent it from binding to food and not being absorbed by the small intestine. Zithromycin should be taken once daily for a short course of five days for the majority of infections. Zithromycin is usually given as a double dose, 500mg, on the first day and as a single dose, 250mg once daily for the remaining four days and can be taken in tablet form or as an intravenous injection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pharmacokinetics==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is acid stable and thus can be taken orally without the need to protect it from the gastric acids. Zithromycin is readily absorbed, and can diffuse into most tissues. Phagocytes in the body take up the zithromycin and actively transport the drug to the site of infection where it is actively released by phagocytosis. Thus large concentrations of zithromycin can be built up at the site of infection, with the concentration being up to 50 times higher in the tissue than in the plasma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side effects==   &lt;br /&gt;
*Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain&lt;br /&gt;
*Headache&lt;br /&gt;
*Loss of appetite&lt;br /&gt;
*Dizziness&lt;br /&gt;
*Thrush infections&lt;br /&gt;
*Somnolence (sleepiness)&lt;br /&gt;
*Asthenia (weakness or loss of strength) &lt;br /&gt;
*Anxiety and agitation&lt;br /&gt;
*Hyperactivity&lt;br /&gt;
*Paraesthesia (pins and needles)&lt;br /&gt;
*Hearing distubances&lt;br /&gt;
*Palpitations (awareness of your heartbeat) &lt;br /&gt;
*Arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats)&lt;br /&gt;
*Arthralgia (pain in the joints)&lt;br /&gt;
*Decrease in the number of platelets or white blood cells in the blood&lt;br /&gt;
*Allergic skin reactions&lt;br /&gt;
*Photosensitivity (abnormal reaction of the skin to light, usually a rash)&lt;br /&gt;
*Convulsions (seizures)&lt;br /&gt;
*Liver or kidney disorders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Limonene is an organic molecule, one enantiomer of which smells extremely like oranges (D-limonene, the (R)- enantiomer), being the active ingredient in citrus. The other enantiomer smells like something of a cross between pine and turpentine, and unsurprisingly the molecule is classed as a &amp;quot;turpene&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sythesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The simplest way to synthesize limonene, and the one used industrially, is by the Diels-Alder reaction (in this case a dimerization as well) between two molecules of isoprene (this leads to its synonym, dipentene):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:limonenesynth.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the problem with this synthetic route is that it produces both enantiomers, leading to problems of separation and isolation. Fortunately it has been discovered that reacting isoprene with mthyl vinyl ketone, followed by a wittig reaction to convert the carbonyl group to a c=c double bond:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This reaction can be sped up and made more regio-slective by the addition of a lewis acidic catalyst, such as AlCl3. The product mixture is still racemic, but much less so than with the dimerization reaction; roughly 75% of the useful enantiomer instead of just under 50%.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Confusingly, this popular anti-biotic is also known as azithromycin, and is marketed as zithromax by Pfizer. According to their website, it&#039;s the most widely sold antibiotic in the world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mode of action==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic which works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting the translation of mRNA. This inhibits the growth of the bacteria, their ability to replicate and increase in numbers. This therefore stops the spread of infection and allows the body&#039;s immune system to kill any remaining bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1994 a joint study conducted by Smithkline Beechams (now trading as GlaxoSmithKline) and the University of Manchester established using real time NMR spectroscopy and other more specialised methods that the drug molecule binds to the bacterial ribosomes in a two stage process, the first of which is the formation of a weak interaction between the ribosome and one of the ketone groups on the macrocycle. This is inferred from the fact that this ketone tautomerises to a a hemiacetal and back (shown below) in a fast exchange process. They showed that only the ketone isomer interaced with the bacteria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is able to combat a variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of bacterial infections namely:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Chest or lower respiratory tract infections of the lungs and airways such as pneumonia and bronchitis.&lt;br /&gt;
* Upper respiratory tract infections of the nasal passages, sinuses and throat such as sinusitis, tonsillitis and pharyngitis.&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the middle ear such as otitis media&lt;br /&gt;
*Bacterial infections of the skin or soft tissue caused by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus| staphylococcus aureus]&lt;br /&gt;
*Sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin may not be used on people with allegic reactions to macrolide type antibiotics, eg erythromycin, or liver disease. The safety of zithromycin for use during pregnancy has not been established and as such is not recommended. Zithromycin can pass into breast milk and so is also not recommended for use by breast feeding mothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Dose==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin should be taken at least one hour before a meal or two hours after a meal to prevent it from binding to food and not being absorbed by the small intestine. Zithromycin should be taken once daily for a short course of five days for the majority of infections. Zithromycin is usually given as a double dose, 500mg, on the first day and as a single dose, 250mg once daily for the remaining four days and can be taken in tablet form or as an intravenous injection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pharmacokinetics==&lt;br /&gt;
Zithromycin is acid stable and thus can be taken orally without the need to protect it from the gastric acids. Zithromycin is readily absorbed, and can diffuse into most tissues. Phagocytes in the body take up the zithromycin and actively transport the drug to the site of infection where it is actively released by phagocytosis. Thus large concentrations of zithromycin can be built up at the site of infection, with the concentration being up to 50 times higher in the tissue than in the plasma.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Side effects==   &lt;br /&gt;
*Disturbances of the gut such as diarrhoea, constipation, indigestion, nausea, vomiting or abdominal pain&lt;br /&gt;
*Headache&lt;br /&gt;
*Loss of appetite&lt;br /&gt;
*Dizziness&lt;br /&gt;
*Thrush infections&lt;br /&gt;
*Somnolence (sleepiness)&lt;br /&gt;
*Asthenia (weakness or loss of strength) &lt;br /&gt;
*Anxiety and agitation&lt;br /&gt;
*Hyperactivity&lt;br /&gt;
*Paraesthesia (pins and needles)&lt;br /&gt;
*Hearing distubances&lt;br /&gt;
*Palpitations (awareness of your heartbeat) &lt;br /&gt;
*Arrhythmias (abnormal heart beats)&lt;br /&gt;
*Arthralgia (pain in the joints)&lt;br /&gt;
*Decrease in the number of platelets or white blood cells in the blood&lt;br /&gt;
*Allergic skin reactions&lt;br /&gt;
*Photosensitivity (abnormal reaction of the skin to light, usually a rash)&lt;br /&gt;
*Convulsions (seizures)&lt;br /&gt;
*Liver or kidney disorders&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Synthesis==&lt;br /&gt;
A chemoselective methylation method for preparing zithromycin from 11-aza-10-deoxo-10-dihydroerythromycin and paraformaldehyde is as follows:&lt;br /&gt;

Limonene is an organic molecule, one enantiomer of which smells extremely like oranges (D-limonene, the (R)- enantiomer), being the active ingredient in citrus. The other enantiomer smells like something of a cross between pine and turpentine, and unsurprisingly the molecule is classed as a &amp;quot;turpene&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;

Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sythesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The simplest way to synthesize limonene, and the one used industrially, is by the Diels-Alder reaction (in this case a dimerization as well) between two molecules of isoprene (this leads to its synonym, dipentene):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:limonenesynth.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the problem with this synthetic route is that it produces both enantiomers, leading to problems of separation and isolation. Fortunately it has been discovered that reacting isoprene with mthyl vinyl ketone, followed by a wittig reaction to convert the carbonyl group to a c=c double bond:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:limonenesynth3.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can be sped up and made more regio-slective by the addition of a lewis acidic catalyst, such as AlCl3. The product mixture is still racemic, but much less so than with the dimerization reaction; roughly 75% of the useful enantiomer instead of just under 50%.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Invention==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Zoloft_logo.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two scientists at Pfizer developed Sertraline: Steve Werner and Billy Dzoma.&lt;br /&gt;
This drug is manufactured by Pfixer and sold as Zoloft in United States and it sold as Lustral in United Kingdom. In India, this drug is sold under the name of Zosert. Sertraline is a white crystalline powder that is slightly soluble in water and isopropyl alcohol, and sparingly soluble in ethanol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sertraline&#039;&#039;&#039; is a pharmaceutical agent for treatment, it is a class of drugs called SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It helps to improve a depressed person&#039;s mood. Sertraline can also help people with an obsessive compulsive disorder, panic attacks, post-trauma stress, or social anxiety. Sertraline may also be prescribed for other purposes, like premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe type of premenstrual syndrome.The leading theory is that drugs such as sertraline restore the chemical balance among neurotransmitters in the brain. Sertraline was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in December, 1991.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Imbalance in the brain can cause depressive and anxiety symptoms. Neurotransmitters are the disturbance in the brain’s chemical messengers. Sertraline acts on the neurotransmitter serotonin, allowing the electrical messages to be process more efficiently and smoothly, which can helps relive symptons of depression.&lt;br /&gt;

This drug is manufactured by Pfixer and sold as Zoloft in United States and it sold as Lustral in United Kingdom. In India, this drug is sold under the name of Zosert. Sertraline is a white crystalline powder that is slightly soluble in water and isopropyl alcohol, and sparingly soluble in ethanol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sertraline&#039;&#039;&#039; is a pharmaceutical agent for treatment, it is a class of drugs called SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It helps to improve a depressed person&#039;s mood. Sertraline can also help people with an obsessive compulsive disorder, panic attacks, post-trauma stress, or social anxiety. Sertraline may also be prescribed for other purposes, like premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe type of premenstrual syndrome.The leading theory is that drugs such as sertraline restore the chemical balance among neurotransmitters in the brain. Sertraline was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in December, 1991.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==How does Sertraline works==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imbalance in the brain can cause depressive and anxiety symptoms. Neurotransmitters are the disturbance in the brain’s chemical messengers. Sertraline acts on the neurotransmitter serotonin, allowing the electrical messages to be process more efficiently and smoothly, which can helps relive symptons of depression.&lt;br /&gt;

Limonene is an organic molecule, one enantiomer of which smells extremely like oranges (D-limonene, the (R)- enantiomer), being the active ingredient in citrus. The other enantiomer smells like something of a cross between pine and turpentine, and unsurprisingly the molecule is classed as a &amp;quot;turpene&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sythesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The simplest way to synthesize limonene, and the one used industrially, is by the Diels-Alder reaction (in this case a dimerization as well) between two molecules of isoprene (this leads to its synonym, dipentene):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:limonenesynth.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the problem with this synthetic route is that it produces both enantiomers, leading to problems of separation and isolation. Fortunately it has been discovered that reacting isoprene with mthyl vinyl ketone, followed by a wittig reaction to convert the carbonyl group to a c=c double bond:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:limonenesynth2.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This reaction can be sped up and made more regio-slective by the addition of a lewis acidic catalyst, such as AlCl3. The product mixture is still racemic, but much less so than with the dimerization reaction; roughly 75% of the useful enantiomer instead of just under 50%.&lt;br /&gt;

==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sythesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The simplest way to synthesize limonene, and the one used industrially, is by the Diels-Alder reaction (in this case a dimerization as well) between two molecules of isoprene:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:limonenesynth.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the problem with this synthetic route is that it produces both enantiomers, leading to problems of separation and isolation. Fortunately it has been discovered that reacting isoprene with an aldehyde, followed by a wittig reaction to convert the carbonyl group to a c=c double bond:&lt;br /&gt;

==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sythesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The simplest way to synthesize limonene, and the one used industrially, is by the Diels-Alder reaction (in this case a dimerization as well) between two molecules of isoprene:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[image:limonenesynth.JPG]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, the problem with this synthetic route is that it produces both enantiomers, leading to problems of separation and isolation. Fortunately it has been discovered that reacting isoprene with an aldehyde, followed by a wittig reaction to convert the carbonyl group to a c=c double bond:&lt;br /&gt;

Limonene is an organic molecule, one enantiomer of which smells extremely like oranges (D-limonene, the (R)- enantiomer), being the active ingredient in citrus. The other enantiomer smells like something of a cross between pine and turpentine, and unsurprisingly the molecule is classed as a &amp;quot;turpene&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sythesis==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The simplest way to synthesize limonene, and the one used industrially, is by the Diels-Alder reaction (in this case a dimerization as well) between two molecules of isoprene:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1937 a structure of &#039;&#039;&#039;cyameluric acid&#039;&#039;&#039;, C&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;6&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;7&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;(OH)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, was proposed by &#039;&#039;Pauling&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Sturdivant&#039;&#039;.  The structure differed greatly from those of previous scientists. This type of molecule seemed to fascinate Pauling; the last thing he wrote on the chalkboard in his office beofre his death in 1994 was an azide derivative of cyameluric acid. It has been preserved there to this day by his friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1850 Henneberg prepared salts of the acid, and in 1933 Professor E. C. Franklin suggested the structure:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Franklin.bmp]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Franklin&#039;s research led Pauling and Sturdivant to similar formulations as studied by Franklin; hydromelonic acid is related to cyameluric acid as cyanuric tricyanamide is to cyanuric acid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pauling/Sturdivant structure for cyameluric acid is made up of 3 coplanar rings fused together, with all angles approximately equal to 120°, the structure of the cyamelurate ion is shown in the table on the right.  It is a delocalised system, and can be represented in a similar way to &#039;&#039;Kekule&#039;s&#039;&#039; structure for benzene, in a conjugated form:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Resonance.bmp]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Infinite structures can be formed in a hydrogen bonding network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This proposed structure seems to hold the best explanation of properties of cyameluric acid.  The resonance forms account for the high stability and the acid strength.  This structure also corresponds to the hydrolysis porducts and is therefore the most likely structure.  Although there is no report of the crystal structure of cyameluric acid to date.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===History===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1937 a structure of &#039;&#039;&#039;cyameluric acid&#039;&#039;&#039;, C&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;6&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;N&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;7&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;(OH)&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;, was proposed by &#039;&#039;Pauling&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;Sturdivant&#039;&#039;.  The structure differed greatly from those of previous scientists. This type of molecule seemed to fascinate Pauling; the last thing he wrote on the chalkboard in his office beofre his death in 1994 was an azide derivative of cyameluric acid. It has been preserved there to this day by his friends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1850 Henneberg prepared salts of the acid, and in 1933 Professor E. C. Franklin suggested the structure:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Franklin.bmp]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Franklin&#039;s research led Pauling and Sturdivant to similar formulations as studied by Franklin; hydromelonic acid is related to cyameluric acid as cyanuric tricyanamide is to cyanuric acid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Pauling/Sturdivant structure for cyameluric acid is made up of 3 coplanar rings fused together, with all angles approximately equal to 120°, the structure of the cyamelurate ion is shown in the table on the right.  It is a delocalised system, and can be represented in a similar way to &#039;&#039;Kekule&#039;s&#039;&#039; structure for benzene, in a conjugated form:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Resonance.bmp]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Infinite structures can be formed in a hydrogen bonding network.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This proposed structure seems to hold the best explanation of properties of cyameluric acid.  The resonance forms account for the high stability and the acid strength.  This structure also corresponds to the hydrolysis porducts and is therefore the most likely structure.  Although there is no report of the crystal structure of cyameluric acid to date.&lt;br /&gt;

Limonene is an organic molecule, one enantiomer of which smells extremely like oranges (D-limonene, the (R)- enantiomer), being the active ingredient in citrus. The other enantiomer smells like something of a cross between pine and turpentine, and unsurprisingly the molecule is classed as a &amp;quot;turpene&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;br /&gt;

Limonene is an organic molecule, one enantiomer of which smells extremely like oranges (D-limonene, the (R)- enantiomer), being the active ingredient in citrus. The other enantiomer smells like something of a cross between pine and turpentine, and unsurprisingly the molecule is classed as a &amp;quot;turpene&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Invention==&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:Zoloft_logo.png]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two scientists at Pfizer developed Sertraline: Steve Werner and Billy Dzoma.&lt;br /&gt;
This drug is manufactured by Pfixer and sold as Zoloft in United States and it sold as Lustral in United Kingdom. In India, this drug is sold under the name of Zosert. Sertraline is a white crystalline powder that is slightly soluble in water and isopropyl alcohol, and sparingly soluble in ethanol.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sertraline&#039;&#039;&#039; is a pharmaceutical agent for treatment, it is a class of drugs called SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It helps to improve a depressed person&#039;s mood. Sertraline can also help people with an obsessive compulsive disorder, panic attacks, post-trauma stress, or social anxiety. Sertraline may also be prescribed for other purposes, like premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a severe type of premenstrual syndrome.The leading theory is that drugs such as sertraline restore the chemical balance among neurotransmitters in the brain. Sertraline was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in December, 1991.&lt;br /&gt;

==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;br /&gt;

Limonene is an organic molecule, one enantiomer of which smells extremely like oranges (D-limonene, the (R)- enantiomer), being the active ingredient in citrus. The other enantiomer smells like something of a cross between pine and turpentine, and unsurprisingly the molecule is classed as a &amp;quot;turpene&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene is an organic molecule, one enantiomer of which smells extremely like oranges (D-limonene, the (R)- enantiomer), being the active ingredient in citrus. The other enantiomer smells like something of a cross between pine and turpentine, and unsurprisingly the molecule is classed as a &amp;quot;turpene&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

==Uses==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Limonene has long been used to give an orange or a lemon flavour to food products (depending on what it&#039;s used with), and also to give that lovely &amp;quot;lemon fresh&amp;quot; smell to things like fairy liquid and bleach. Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Industrial Manufacture==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Industrially, limonene is extracted as an oil from the rinds of citrus fruits (most commonly oranges, lemons and limes) and as such is produced as a by-product of the juice industry. Two grades of limonene oil are obtained; the first, food grade oil, is extracted by pressing the fruit rinds. This oil is then purified by distillation (some of the distillates can also be recovered for sale, of use as flavourings or fragrances). After this pressing process, the peel is then steamed heated; when the steam is condensed, a layer of limonene oil is left floating on its surface. This is known as technical grade limonene, and is what is used in cleaning products.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;=Limonene=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Limonene is an organic molecule, one enantiomer of which smells extremely like oranges (D-limonene, the (R)- enantiomer), being the active ingredient in citrus. The other enantiomer smells like something of a cross between pine and turpentine, and unsurprisingly the molecule is classed as a &amp;quot;turpene&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

Recently however, it has been realised that it can be used as a solvent for cleaning products on its own, leading to an explosion in &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; cleaning products - Mr Muscle Orange Action is a good example.(Despite the excellent marketing point that being a &amp;quot;more natural&amp;quot; product is, the reason limonene is now being used as solvent is that it is much less hazardous to health than some things that have been used as solvents in cleaning products in the past...)&lt;br /&gt;

Limonene is an organic molecule, one enantiomer of which smells extremely like oranges (D-limonene, the (R)- enantiomer), being the active ingredient in citrus. The other enantiomer smells like something of a cross between pine and turpentine, and unsurprisingly the molecule is classed as a &amp;quot;turpene&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

== [[Special:Export|Export Pages]] ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This takes you to an &#039;&#039;&#039;Export&#039;&#039;&#039; page. A backup of the Projects area can be made (in XML) if you want to keep your own &#039;&#039;snapshot&#039;&#039; of the project pages at any instant. After you Export the page you want (ie &#039;&#039;&#039;It:projects&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;It:Lignocaine&#039;&#039;&#039; for example) the XML encoding of it will appear in your browser Window. You should &#039;&#039;&#039;view source&#039;&#039;&#039; for this material, copy it to a text editor, and thence save it to disk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Overlaps ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If someone else  starts editing a page at the same time as you,   the system will detect this and offer alternatives for you to deal with.  For example, it may suggest you copy the contents of the page you have been editing and merge it into the other person&#039;s page,&lt;br /&gt;
so that both the sets of edits are preserved.  Read the on-screen instructions carefully!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another precaution you could take is to keep a copy of the contents of the page you are editing in eg Wordpad (or Word),&lt;br /&gt;
make the changes there, and then copy the entire lot to the  Wiki page to preview and then save. That way, if your contribution&lt;br /&gt;
is overlapped by someone else, you will still have a copy, and you can then resubmit it.&lt;br /&gt;
