THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF STRUCTURE AND REACTIVITY RELATED TO METABOLISM AND TOXICITY OF PARACETAMOL. An experimental and theoretical approach on oxidative metabolism of paracetamol was applied for the pharmaceutical chemistry learning. Classical reactions, functional group identification, structural parameter, and chemical reactivity using frontier orbitals and Fukui index were used explaining the main products between N-acetyl-p-benzosemiquinone (NAPQI) and thiolic compounds. The chemoprotection mechanisms by N-acetyl-cysteine on high dosage of paracetamol are consistent with theoretical and experimental results. The methods also described the relationship between the chemical reactivity of quinone-imine system and the induced-toxicity of paracetamol by Michael reaction. These results can be applied in experimental pharmaceutical chemistry teaching
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
