Research indicates that albuterol, a drug used to relax bronchial muscles, improving airflow and thus offering relief from asthma, consists only of one enantiomer, the r-form. why is it important for this drug to consist of only one enantiomeric form, rather than a mixture of enantiomers?

Different enantiomers may have different or opposite physiological effects.

Explanation:

Enantiomers are organic molecules that are so named because of their shape, because for each enantiomer there is an identical but inverted shape, as if it were in front of a mirror. In other words, enantiomers are a type of isomer. Enantiomers may be the basis of therapeutic substances, since amino acids and sugars are enantiomers, and as these substances are enantiomers of each other, in different cases they have chemical similarities that allow them to be the basis of these substances. However, it is important that drugs consist of only one enantiomeric form rather than a mixture of enantiomers because different enantiomers may have different or opposite physiological effects.

minerals contribute to our overall health because they your body grow, develop, and stay healthy. our bodies use minerals to us function throughout the day.tromhey us build strong bones, so we can do more things in life. with certain minerals, they can you maintain a normal heartbeat!

though, as as minerals are for us, they can also be very dangerous if one were to consume too many. if you were to take too much minerals, or even vitamins, you could experience nausea and diarrhea. all trace minerals can be very toxxic at high levels of consumption. taking too much of some minerals will result in hair loss! but this goes with almost everything in life, taking too much of something that is good, will eventually be bad for you.

my intake in minerals was normal. there really is no need to improve, i am healthy, and i am experiencing no nausea or diarrhea. i am as healthy as a bee. ☺ (sorry that i cannot you with the mineral intake)

what i have learned so far is that taking too much something can be very bad for you. taking too many minerals or vitamins, or anything healthy in general, can result in nausea and diarrhea, as well as hair loss. it would be a good idea to track what you put into your body, good or bad.
