Review - What Are Stereoisomers?
Stereoisomers ►two isomers ►same molecular formula►same structural formulasbut►different spatial arrangements of
atoms
![Page 4: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Two Types of Stereoisomers
►Geometric isomers►Optical isomers
![Page 5: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Geometric Isomers
Geometric isomers (or cis-trans isomers) are molecules with a double bond that form cis and trans isomers.
►note that square planar molecules can also display geometric isomerism
cis and trans refers to the orientation of functional groups within a molecule

Differences in Physical and Chemical
Properties for Geometric Isomers
►undergo different chemical reactions.►Stability (trans are usually more
stable)►Polarity►Boiling/Melting point►Solubility
![Page 8: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Geometric Isomers and Drugs
Because geometric isomers have different chemical and physical properties, they act differently as drugs in our bodies as well. Example :• cis-platin used for chemotherapy - it can enter cancer cells and interact with DNA•Trans- platin - not active
![Page 9: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Optical Isomers
Optical isomers►have a chiral
center►non-super
imposable mirror images
![Page 10: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Optical Isomers TerminologyChiral: if a molecule is chiral ( or displays chirality)
this means the molecule has two optical isomers
Chiral centre: the central carbon in an optical isomer with four bonds each attached to a different group.
Enantiomer: another name for a molecule that is found in optical isomers. For example, ibuprofen has a two enantiomers, a left rotating enantiomer and a right rotating enantiomer.
Racemic mixture: A mixture of 50% left rotating and 50% right rotating optical isomers
![Page 11: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How can you tell if a molecule is chiral?
Optical isomers will always have a chiral (central) carbon with four single bonds each attached to a different substituent.Example: Which molecule is not chiral?A. CH3CHClOHB. CH3CHCOOHNH2
C. BrCH2COOH
![Page 12: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Using a Polarimeter
A polarimeter is a machine that can tell what optical isomer a substance contains by giving a rotational quantity in degrees
If the rotational value is positive the optical isomer is right handed.
If the rotational value is negative the optical isomer is left handed.
![Page 13: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Using a Polarimeter
If a molecule rotates at +24 degrees, is it right handed or left handed?
RightIf a molecule rotates at -24 degrees, is it right
handed or left handed? Left
If a molecule rotates at 0 degrees, is it right handed or left handed?
Both-it is 50% Right and 50% Left(This is called a racemic mixture.)
![Page 14: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Optical Isomers and Drugs►Optical Isomers interact differently in
our bodies because our bodies themselves are chiral.
►Thus important to make sure you have the right optical isomers in your drugs. Thalidomide tragedy- one enantiomer stops
morning sickness in pregnant women. The drug was sold as a racemic mixture to reduce costs. However, it was later discovered that the other enantiomer causes severe birth defects.
►Many drugs are still sold as a racemic mixture to reduce costs, including advil, motrin, and vitamin E.

D.8.3 Explain the importance of beta-lactam ring action of penicillin
Penicillin• R group• carboxylic acid group• Beta-lactam ring• heteroatomic four-membered ring• strained ring (90° vs 109.5°) is very reactive• open ring binds with enzyme needed for synthesis of linkages in bacterial cell walls• so… bacteria burst
![Page 16: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
D.8.4 explain the increased potency of diamorphine (heroin) compared to morphine:Heroin• two polar hydroxyl groups replaced by two
less polar ester groups• more fat soluble• more readily absorbed into the non-polar
environment of the central nervous system and the brain
![Page 17: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
D.9.1 Discuss the use of a compound library in drug design.D.9.2 Explain the use of combinatorial and parallel chemistry to synthesize new drugsD.9.3 Describe how computers are used in drug designD.9.4 Discuss how the polarity of a molecule can be modified to increase its aqueous solubility and how this facilitates its distribution around the bodyD.9.5 Describe the use of chiral auxiliaries to form the desired enantiomer
![Page 18: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Synthesis of New Drugs often starts with ‘lead’ compound -
pharmacologically active
uses organic chemistry to make small changes to the drug’s structure to produce a more effective drug more potent, fewer side effects
result is a compound library – a collection of related compounds that can be tested for their pharmacological activity
![Page 19: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Combinatorial Chemistry (Combi-Chem)
a way of synthesizing and testing potential new drugs that reduces time and costs
a set of reactants are reacted in all possible combinations
resulting compounds are cataloged by computers,
called a compound (or combinatorial) library
library is tested in the laboratory en masse (all at once) for pharmacological activity
large libraries increase the chances of finding better drugs
![Page 20: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Combinatorial Chemistry (Combi-Chem)
much of the process is streamlined with technology / computerization /
Robotics can be used to carry out identical chemical processes simultaneously Known as “parallel synthesis”
![Page 21: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Example of Synthesis in Combi-Chem: Synthesizing Polypeptides►amino acids (peptides) are the building
blocks of protein molecules►amino acids are combined to make
dipeptides in condensation reactions.

![Page 22: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Example: Synthesizing Polypeptides
Because amino acids (peptides) contain both a carboxylic acid group and an amino group, two amino acids can be combined in four different ways to make dipeptides.
Peptide A-Peptide APeptide A-Peptide BPeptide B-Peptide APeptide B-Peptide B
![Page 23: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example: Synthesizing Polypeptides
A simple two stage combi-chem reaction is used to make dipeptides.
Starts with a linking group attached to a plastic bead.

Example: Synthesizing Polypeptides
Stage one: the carboxylic acid group from an amino acid reacts with the Cl of the linking group… the amino acid now has its amine group ready to react

Example: Synthesizing Polypeptides
Stage two: Product of previous reaction is washed and then reacted with aa B, forming a peptide bond… making a dipeptide.
Later, the plastic bead-CH2 is removed to leave the dipeptide.

Example: Synthesizing Polypeptides
►a combination of two amino acids makes 4 (22) dipeptides (two
stages)►Using three amino acids,
makes 9 (32) dipeptides (two stages)
►Using three amino acids (three stages)
makes 27 (33) tripeptides ►Using three amino acids (four
stages) makes 81 (34) tetrapeptides
![Page 29: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Example: Synthesizing Polypeptides
So the general formula for the total number of possible polypeptides formed is…
Number of amino acids = pNumber of stages in the reaction = s
Number of polypeptides formed = pS
![Page 30: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Synthesizing other molecules ????
Scientists quickly realized that this methodology could be applied to other synthesis reactions.
Organic heterocyclics are often used as starting materials for potential drugs… with the addition of different branches often leading to new and better drugs.
![Page 31: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How can Computers Help?
mode of drug action in the body usu involves interaction with biological molecules• enzymes• pharmacophore (receptor site)
molecular modeling software• more powerful, cheaper, more available• able to convert 2D structure into 3D structure• allows ‘virtual testing’ of drug with receptor site /
enzyme
A drug may be an Inhibitor molecule (ligand)
• interfer with active site of an enzyme…
![Page 32: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Polarity of Molecules
In general, a drug that is altered to contain an ionic group is more soluble in aqueous solutions (like body fluids)… and therefore more effective.
However - some drugs that are fat soluble are more effective… if their target is the central nervous system… the brain… fatty cell membranes of nerve cells…
mescaline more potent than psylocybin heroin more potent than morphine
![Page 33: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Polarity of Molecules – Case in Point
Aspirin salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid)• fever reducer, pain killer• strong acid• unpleasant to take orally• damaging to membranes lining mouth, esophagus, stomach
![Page 34: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Aspirin
sodium salicylate • fever reducer, pain killer• soluble ionic salt of salicylic acid• still bitter taste• still damaging to stomach when it reverts to salicylic acid
![Page 35: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Aspirin acetyl salicylic acid (ASA)• fever reducer, pain killer• acetate (ethanoate) ester of salicylic acid• relatively tasteless• only weakly acidic• relatively insoluble
![Page 36: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Aspirin acetyl salicylic acid (ASA)
• called a prodrug►Reacts with water in basic environment of small intestines to form the active salicylic acid molecule.
• also available as the sodium salt of ASA• more soluble… more effective
![Page 37: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Synthesis of Drugs and Chirality
How drugs can be synthesized
►Derivation from natural sources►Modification of natural substances►Laboratory synthesis
Usually only one enantiomer is found in nature, so naturally derived drugs usually contain an excess of one enantiomers while laboratory drugs are occasionally racemic mixtures
![Page 38: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Chiral Auxiliaries
New: stereospecific synthesis or asymmetric synthesis
Stereospecific synthesis involves the use of chiral auxiliaries to make only one enantiomer of a molecule
![Page 39: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
What is a Chiral Auxiliary?
► molecule that attaches itself chemically to the chiral molecule being synthesized
creates conditions which cause the drug synthesis to follow a certain stereospecific path – producing only one type of enantiomer
auxilary is removed or replaced to leave the desired enantiomer.
![Page 40: By Lisa Grossman Max Krakauer Sarah Theobald With revisions by Ms. Smith](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032802/56649e035503460f94aede14/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
If you’re still confused, here’s a diagram
The top reaction is unmodified… the bottom reaction uses a chiral modifier… Notice the different yields…. Much higher in bottom reaction.
