Tylenol Brand Medicine
In conclusion much was discovered between a well-known acetaminophen brand medicine, and its generic medicine counterpoint. The dissolve rate of a branded medication, in this case Tylenol, is faster than a generic medication, equate. This can be due to the difference in active ingredients and makeup of the medicines. Further research needs to be determined. In the end, it is evident after an experimental design with a simulated stomach and it normal state temperature, that a branded acetaminophen medicine dissolves faster, therefore will be absorbed unto the blood stream to work more effectively to ease symptoms of pain or fever. The generic brand medicine did not have consistency in its dissolve time, including when two were inserted in the

    Acetaminophen is a common analgesic used to treat mild pain. We synthesized acetaminophen by reacting p-aminophenol and acetic anhydride. The amine group on the p-aminophenol reacted with the center oxygen atom on the acetic anhydride to form an amide. We reacted 0.210g of p-aminophenol with 0.240ml of acetic anhydride in the presence of heat, and then cooled the solution in an ice bath until crystals formed. The solid acetaminophen was filtered from the solution and then subjected to a recrystallization using a 50:50 water-ethanol solvent. 0.1484g of crude acetaminophen was measured and after purification 0.0669g of pure acetaminophen was collected. A percent yield of 23% was calculated from our theoretical and actual yield. The melting point…

    The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the composition of a simulated pharmaceutical preparation Panacetin, a proposed type of pain-killer. Panacetin is typically made up of sucrose, aspirin, and acetaminophen, but the third component in this experiment is unknown. The unknown component is suspected to be a chemical relative of acetaminophen, either acetanilide or phenacetin. Using techniques such as extraction, evaporation, and filtration, the three components will be isolated based on their solubilities and acid-base properties. The percent composition of Panacetin will also be deduced based on the masses of the three dried components; this is done to verify the composition attained is consistent with those listed on the preparations label. As a result of this investigation, my teammates and I allowed the Panacetin to undergo gravity filtration and separation techniques in order to identify whether there are any discrepancies in the components of the Panacetin. Furthermore, recrystallization and purification methods were used to determine if the unknown substance were similar in properties to either of the suspected unknown substances by comparing factors such as melting points to the chemical properties of phenactin and acetanilide. The results were as expected, based on the molecular weights and ratios of each separated chemicals, as well as the boiling point of the unknown it was determined that these ranges were close enough to indicate that the label is reasonably accurate in its composition. To add on however the identity of the unknown component differed from what the label indicated. In the end, the percentage composition attained based on our observations and yield confirmed that indeed the chemical composition of Panacetin were as indicated on the preparations label. The identity of the unknown component however suggested that the preparation did not contain acetaminophen as indicated, but instead was consistent with the chemical properties…

    The experiment involved the separation of the unknown from the Panacetin by first isolating the sucrose and the aspirin. This process was done by starting with three grams of Panacetin and adding dichloromethane to dissolve and then separating the sucrose by filter-gravity filtration. The aspirin was then separated with the help of sodium hydroxide to isolate the unknown. From the values found, we were able to find percentages of sucrose, aspirin, and the unknown in relation to what is found on the labels of these tablets.…

    To be able to understand how organic soluble compounds could be isolated from non-organic components, a chromatographic separation process was used. The objective of the analgesic drug identification is to isolate the organic compounds/ active ingredients in an unknown drug. The identity of the drug was determined through melting point, percent recover, and Rf values. The comparable data for acetaminophen from the manufacturer is 500mg of active ingredient. After conducting the experiment-extraction, distillation, and evaporation- 451mg of active ingredient. This relates to a 68.1% recovery. The melting point was between 158 and 165 degrees Celsius, which is almost ten degrees lower than the published melting point of acetaminophen. After conducting a TLC plate, the Rf value was calculated to be .4268, the same as the standard Rf.…

    In this experiment, several analgesics were analyzed by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and the composition of an unknown tablet was identified. We define chromatography as the separation of two or more compounds or ions by their molecular interactions by either a moving or a stationary phase.1 There are different types of chromatography: Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC), Gas Liquid Chromatography (GC), and Column Chromatography (CC). All of which there two phases: mobile and stationary. Phases can be a solid and a liquid, a liquid and a liquid, a gas and a solid, or a gas and a liquid. The stationary phase is also known as the absorbent. Greater affinity, or attraction, for the mobile phases will move faster and conversely for stationary phases.2 Running a solvent past the absorbent complex in order to remove analytes from the absorbent is known as elution. This process aids in determining affinity.3 The most polar compound is always the absorbent; however, the polarity of the compounds in the mixture in addition to the solvents found in the mixture differs in polarities.…

    After receiving all of the information and comparing the results of the symptoms, melting point, and infrared spectroscopy we concluded that they analgesic he was given was ibuprofen. His symptoms had matched the general symptoms of an ibuprofen overdose in cats. According to the Ibuprofen and Naproxen Toxicity article the common overdose symptoms included vomiting and diarrhea. Next we compared the melting point we received when we used the Electrothermal 9100. The melting point we collected was 75.6˚C. According to ChemBlink, the melting point for ibuprofen falls anywhere between 75˚C and 78˚C. This was the next step that helped us conclude our analgesic was ibuprofen. The last comparison we made was from our infrared spectroscopy we collected and the one Dr. Allison gave as a reference. The peaks of the graph were similar to the reference given. Attached is the graph we collected and printed.…

    In You Are a Contract Painkiller (1997, p. 111), author Maureen Littlejohn makes extensive use of personification to describe the functioning of Aspirin in our body, its various properties to fight pain, and its evolution over the years. Littlejohn describes how Aspirin claimed celebrity status as one of the world’s most popular, inexpensive painkillers by relieving headaches, sprains, blows, burns, swelling and fever. Furthermore, she added that Aspirin could also be used to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. The author supports the main idea by describing how the aspirin when taken with a modest stream of water or ginger ale, passed to the stomach through the esophagus and undergoes a series of chain reactions to disable the enzyme that converts the acid in cell membranes into prostaglandins (responsible for the pain). In a similar fashion it also helps bring fever down. Moreover, the author gives a brief history about the evolution of the modern day Aspirin from almost a thousand years ago when Hippocrates first discovered the property of willow leaves to help relieve pain. The author concludes the essay by highlighting the useful properties of Aspirin and the various ailments it provides relief from.…

    The two organizations that come to mind that managed their crisis successfully was Johnson & Johnson and Cadbury. In 1982, Johnson and Johnson’s Tylenol capsules were laced with cyanide (Bhasin, 2011). Seven people died after taking the extra strength Tylenol that had potassium cyanide-laced on them. Johnson and Johnson immediately e about thirty million bottles off the shelf, which cost the company a hundred million. The company also stopped production as well as any advertisement for Tylenol (Bhasin, 2011). They also involved the police, FBI and the FDA to help with finding how this may have happened, and offered a hundred thousand dollar reward to find the person or persons responsible. When they started production up again, they provided…
