Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 2

Frage
Which of the following is best to aid identification of the natural product/plant
Antworten
  • plant handbook
  • flora or field guide
  • herbarium

Frage 3

macerated leaves are treated with chemicals that gradually decrease in polarity to extract chemicals
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 4

Frage
General screening bioassays are [blank_start]simple[blank_end], [blank_start]inexpensive[blank_end] and used for [blank_start]rapid screening[blank_end] of extracts
Antworten
  • simple
  • complex
  • inexpensive
  • expensive
  • rapid screening
  • specific enzyme screening

Frage 5

Frage
specialised screening bioassays are [blank_start]subcellular[blank_end] assays directed at [blank_start]specific[blank_end] enzymes or receptors. Compounds working by mechanisms unrelated to the assay are likely to be missed.
Antworten
  • subcellular
  • multicellular
  • specific
  • broad spectrum

Frage 6

Frage
which of the following is FALSE
Antworten
  • Brine shrimp lethality tests are used to determine cytotoxicity (potential antitumour) of extracts
  • crown gall tumour inhibition tests give a fairly accurate prediction of in vivo murine antileukemic activity
  • starfish or sea urchin assays are used to investigate in vivo antileukemic activity
  • agar dilution streak assay means up to 7 microorganisms can be screened simultaneously on a petri dish
  • microtitre plates allow testing of 3 dilutions of one or two extracts against up to 24 microorganisms

Frage 7

Frage
crown gall tumour inhibition tests use potatoes to measure inhibition of growth
Antworten
  • True
  • False

Frage 8

Frage
which 3 do starfish or sea urchin assays allow detection of?
Antworten
  • dna and rna synthesis inhibitors
  • mRNA substrate inhibitors
  • microtubule assembly inhibitors
  • protein synthesis inhibitors

Frage 9

Frage
which best applies to an agar dilution streak assay?
Antworten
  • up to 5 micro-organisms can be tested
  • up to 4 micro-organisms can be tested
  • up to 7 micro-organisms can be tested

Frage 10

Frage
Which tlc staining technique is used to test acidic groups
Antworten
  • bromocrescol green
  • vanillin
  • potassium permanganate

Frage 11

Frage
which one of the following is not considered in NP isolation or synthesis
Antworten
  • source - availability
  • environmental and local impact
  • cost
  • complexity of novel structures
  • diluent needed

Frage 12

Frage
What are the stages of natural product processing? [blank_start]Specimen[blank_end] collection, establishing [blank_start]taxonomy[blank_end], extracting possible active molecules, using [blank_start]screening[blank_end] techniques to evaluate therapeutic activity, identifying and [blank_start]isolating[blank_end] the structure responsible for the activity, using organic synthesis
Antworten
  • Specimen
  • Taxonomy
  • molecules
  • structure
  • taxonomy
  • specimen
  • molecules
  • therapeutics
  • screening
  • showing
  • therapeutic
  • herbariums
  • isolating
  • burning
  • melting
  • releasing

Frage 13

Frage
a range of techniques are used to isolate active compounds (fractionation). these include [blank_start]TLC[blank_end], column chromatography, [blank_start]HPLC[blank_end] and combinations such as HPLC/MS
Antworten
  • TLC
  • LTC
  • MSMS
  • HPLC
  • ELISA
  • SPE
