Okay, so for this problem, there's quite a bit for us to go through here.
00:05
So let's go ahead and get started.
00:07
For the first step of the problem, we're going to identify the functional groups in turbinifene.
00:15
So turbinifene is a synthetic allilamine antifungal compound.
00:22
So let me write that out for you.
00:51
Okay, so to understand why it can be applied topically, we need to look at its chemical structure and identify the functional groups present.
00:57
So it typically contains an alleleamine group, which is a hydrophobic lipid -soluble group, and may also have other groups such as a methyl or an ether.
01:34
So next we're going to assess the hydrophobic or hydrophilic balance.
01:38
So for a compound to be effectively used as a topical agent, it needs to have a balance between hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties.
01:47
So this balance allows the compound to penetrate the liquid -rich outer layer of skin and reach the side of infection, while also still being able to interact with the fungal cells, which are more often in an aqueous environment.
02:04
So we're going to evaluate the hydrogen bonding potential...
