The following is the precursor for the synthesis of Dhurrin in sikkimic acid pathway…………..
- A.
Phenylalanine
- B.
Tyrosine
- C.
Linamarin
- D.
Lotuustralin
Correct Answer
B. TyrosineExplanation
Tyrosine is the correct answer because it is the precursor for the synthesis of Dhurrin in the sikkimic acid pathway. Dhurrin is a cyanogenic glycoside found in plants, and it is derived from tyrosine through a series of enzymatic reactions. Therefore, tyrosine is the starting compound that is transformed into Dhurrin in this pathway. Phenylalanine, linamarin, and lotuustralin are not directly involved in the synthesis of Dhurrin in the sikkimic acid pathway.Rate this question:

Multicellular branched covering peltate trichomes are characteristic for…………..
- A.
Hammelis
- B.
Humulus
- C.
Verbascum Thapsus
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
B. HumulusExplanation
Humulus is the correct answer because it is known to have multicellular branched covering peltate trichomes. Trichomes are hair-like structures found on the surface of plants, and peltate trichomes have a round or shield-like base with branches extending from it. Hammelis and Verbascum Thapsus may have trichomes, but they do not specifically have the multicellular branched covering peltate trichomes characteristic of Humulus. Therefore, the correct answer is Humulus.Rate this question:

The mechanism of corynanthine is……………
- A.
Selective α2 receptor antagonist
- B.
Selective α1 receptor antagonist
- C.
Non-selective α receptor antagonist
- D.
Selective β1-receptor agonist
Correct Answer
B. Selective α1 receptor antagonistExplanation
Corynanthine is a compound that acts as a selective α1 receptor antagonist. This means that it specifically blocks the α1 adrenergic receptors, preventing their activation by neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine. By blocking these receptors, corynanthine can inhibit the effects of sympathetic stimulation, such as vasoconstriction. This selective antagonism of α1 receptors distinguishes corynanthine from other types of receptor antagonists, such as non-selective α receptor antagonists or selective β1-receptor agonists.Rate this question:

- A.
Excellent
- B.
Fair to passable
- C.
Poor
- D.
Extremely poor
Correct Answer
C. PoorExplanation
The given answer "Poor" is the correct answer because when the Carr's index is between 23-35, it indicates that the flow of the material is not very good. This means that the material is likely to have poor flow properties, which can result in difficulties during handling and processing. Therefore, the correct assessment of the flow in this case is "Poor".Rate this question:

If the PKa of Phenobarbitone is 7.4.what fraction of drug would be ionized at pH 8.4?…………..
- A.
0,01
- B.
0.5
- C.
0.9
- D.
1.0
Correct Answer
C. 0.9Explanation
At pH 8.4, which is higher than the pKa of 7.4, the drug would be in its ionized form. Since the pKa is a measure of the acidity of a compound, a higher pH means a more basic environment, causing the drug to ionize. Therefore, a large fraction of the drug, approximately 0.9, would be ionized at pH 8.4.Rate this question:

One of the following diluent may discolour in the presence of amine containing drugs:
- A.
Avicel
- B.
DCP
- C.
Lactose
- D.
Talc
Correct Answer
C. LactoseExplanation
Lactose may discolor in the presence of amine-containing drugs. This is because lactose is a reducing sugar, meaning it can undergo a Maillard reaction with the amino group of amines. This reaction can lead to the formation of brown pigments, causing the discoloration. Avicel, DCP, and talc do not have the same reducing properties as lactose, so they would not undergo this discoloration reaction.Rate this question:

Most commonly used radiation source in atomic absorption spectroscopy is…………….
- A.
Tungsten lamp
- B.
Xenon discharge lamp
- C.
Hollow cathode lamp
- D.
Mercury vapour lamp
Correct Answer
C. Hollow cathode lampExplanation
The hollow cathode lamp is the most commonly used radiation source in atomic absorption spectroscopy. This is because it provides a stable and intense light source that is specific to the element being analyzed. The lamp consists of a cathode made of the element of interest, which emits light when a high voltage is applied. This emitted light is then absorbed by the sample, allowing for the quantification of the element present. Tungsten lamps, xenon discharge lamps, and mercury vapor lamps are also used in spectroscopy, but they are not as commonly used as hollow cathode lamps.Rate this question:

Anorgasmia side effect produced by…………..
- A.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor
- B.
Tricyclic antidepressant
- C.
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitorExplanation
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of antidepressant medications that work by increasing the levels of serotonin in the brain. Anorgasmia is a known side effect of SSRIs, where individuals have difficulty achieving orgasm or experience a delay in orgasm. This side effect is thought to be due to the effect of SSRIs on serotonin levels, which can affect sexual function. Tricyclic antidepressants and monoamine oxidase inhibitors are other classes of antidepressants that may also have sexual side effects, but the question specifically asks for the side effect produced by SSRIs.Rate this question:

Fish oil
Correct Answer
D. Fish oilExplanation
Fish oil is contraindicated in type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia because it contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can increase levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. In type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia, there is already an elevated level of LDL cholesterol, so consuming fish oil would further elevate these levels and worsen the condition. Therefore, fish oil should be avoided in individuals with type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. MethysergideExplanation
Methysergide is known to cause mediastinal fibrosis as a side effect. Mediastinal fibrosis refers to the formation of fibrous tissue in the mediastinum, the area between the lungs. This condition can lead to compression of nearby structures such as the heart, blood vessels, and airways, causing symptoms like chest pain, difficulty breathing, and palpitations. Methysergide is a medication commonly used for the prevention of migraines, but its use is limited due to the risk of developing mediastinal fibrosis.Rate this question:

Partition
Correct Answer
D. PartitionExplanation
Paper chromatography is based on the principle of partition. Partition chromatography involves the separation of components in a mixture based on their partitioning between a stationary phase and a mobile phase. In paper chromatography, the stationary phase is the paper and the mobile phase is typically a liquid solvent. As the solvent moves up the paper, it carries the components of the mixture along with it. The different components have different affinities for the stationary and mobile phases, leading to their separation on the paper.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. π π*Explanation
Benzoic acid undergoes a transition from the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) under UV spectra. This transition is known as the π π* transition, where the electrons in the π bonding orbital are excited to the π* antibonding orbital. This transition is responsible for the absorption of UV light by benzoic acid, leading to its characteristic UV spectra.Rate this question:

Sub-coating
Correct Answer
C. Enteric coatingExplanation
Enteric coating is the most suitable method for formulating the tablet in this scenario. Enteric coating is a type of coating that is resistant to the acidic environment of the stomach but dissolves in the alkaline environment of the intestine. This coating provides protection to the core tablet from moisture and also prevents it from releasing the drug in the stomach. Instead, the drug is delivered in the intestine for local action. This ensures that the tablet is tasteless and provides the desired therapeutic effect in the intended site of action.Rate this question:
