It does this by interfering with the action of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase which catalyzes the conversion of a compound called arachidonic acid into prostaglandins 4 step Ibuprofen synthesis First step: Nucleophilic addition Reduction of the carbonyl group C=O by sodium tetrahydridoborate produces a secondary alcohol group CHOH. Second step: Sn1 nucleophilic substitution of the hydroxyl group To improve reactivity of alcohols the leaving anion OH is converted into H2O CH3)3COH + HCl (37%) (CH3)3COH2(+) Cl() (CH3)3C(+) Cl() + H2O (CH3)3CCl + H2O (SN1 ) Third step: During this step Grignard reagent is formed. Forth step: The nucleophilic addition : carboxylic acid production H-NMR · Applied magnetic field With the magnetic field, the energy level is lower

the light microscope is incapable of identifying a virus directly. Biochemical tests Biochemical tests used in the identification of infectious agents include the detection of metabolic or enzymatic products characteristic of a particular infectious agent. Since bacteria ferment carbohydrates in patterns characteristic of their genus and species, the 2 detection of fermentation products is commonly used in bacterial identification. Acids, alcohols and gases are usually detected in these tests when bacteria are grown in selective liquid or solid media. The isolation of enzymes from infected tissue can also provide the basis of a biochemical diagnosis of an infectious disease. Serological methods are highly sensitive, specific and often extremely rapid tests used to identify microorganisms. These tests are based upon the ability of an antibody to bind specifically to an antigen. The antigen, usually a protein
