Problem 13. We have discussed in class that amines are Lewis bases and numerous amino- containing bioactive molecules (say, alkaloids) exist either as free bases or as salts upon reaction with acids. An example is Albuterol, a medication used to treat asthma attacks Albuterol is administered as albuterol sulfate. What is the reason for doing this? НО. HO 1/2 SO HO HO OH OH Albuterol Albuterol Sulfate a) Just marketing: a free base and an ammonium salt of a drug always have identical properties b) The ammonium salt of the drug is soluble in hexane and it can be injected into the patient as a hexane solution c) The ammonium salt of the drug is water soluble and it can be administered through a nebulizer d) The ammonium salt of the drug tastes better Part III.
