    Study Notes

    Biochemistry & Pharmacognosty

    • Biochemistry is the science dealing with the chemical basis of life.
    • Biomolecules are studied, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
    • The cell is the basic unit of life, with a membrane having integral and peripheral proteins.
    • The cell membrane is semi-permeable, allowing some substances to pass through.
    • Carbohydrates are polyhydroxyaldehydes or polyhydroxyketones with monosaccharides as building blocks.
    • Reactions include dehydration for synthesis and hydrolysis for degradation.
    • Carbohydrates are classified based on the number of monomer units (monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides).
    • Isomerism exists in carbohydrates (enantiomers, anomers, epimers, tautomers).
    • Isomers have the same chemical formula but different structures.
    • Pyranose- and furanose-forms of monosaccharide ring structures exist.
    • Cells have organelles including ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, golgi apparatus and mitochondria.
    • Metabolism encompasses catabolic (breaking down) and anabolic (building up) reactions.
    • Amphibolism connects catabolic and anabolic pathways.
    • The Krebs cycle helps produce energy for cells where acetyl CoA enters the cycle to produce energy units.
    • Electron Transport Chain uses electron carriers and produces ATP for cellular energy.
    • Glycolysis & Gluconeogenesis are pathways involving biochemical reactions that concern glucose.
    • Glycogenolysis & Glycogenesis are pathways that involve the breakdown and synthesis of glycogen, respectively.
    • Lipids are hydrophobic molecules categorized into simple, complex, and derived lipids.
    • Waxes, fats/oils, and sterols are simple lipids while phospholipids, glycolipids, and lipoproteins are complex lipids.
    • The components of lipids are fatty acids, monoglycerides, diglycerides, and triglycerides.
    • Proteins are amino acid polymers with primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures.
    • There are various classifications and functions of proteins (structural, enzymes, etc.)
    • Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) store genetic information in a double-helix structure.
    • DNA replication leads to duplication via the semi-conservative method where each helix has a template and new strand.
    • Protein synthesis and decoding of genetic information using mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA.
    • Various types of mutations can occur, changing the genetic code and associated proteins.
    • Various vitamins and associated biochemical functions are important to human metabolism.

    Pharmacognosty

    • Drugs are sourced from natural products (plants & animals).

    • Studying plants and animals for drug sources is pharmacognosty.

    • Crude drugs are collected plants and animals that undergo drying and processing to extract components.

    • These include methods of collection, drying, and garbling.

    • Extractives refer to the extracted active ingredients, while menstruum refers to the solvent.

    • Qualitative tests (Carbohydrates and Proteins) exist to identify components in natural products.

    • Physical constants (density, melting point) help in identification and classification of natural products.

    • Classifications (taxonomic, morphological, and phylogenetic) can be used to classify natural products.

    • Various volatile oils, glycosides, and other compounds are extracted via different techniques for many applications, from processing into extracts and or by other means.
