Question

6) Most prescription painkillers are nitrogen based opium derivatives. While there are some that are synthetic or labled as semi-synthetic, they all will have some sort of a nitrogen in their structure. With that said, why are they all administered as amine salts or quarternary amine salts instead of in pure form? (10 pts.)

Step 1

Step 1: Many prescription painkillers are administered as amine salts or quaternary amine salts because these forms are more stable and have better solubility than the pure form of the drug. Show more…
