A common dose estimate for acute toxicity is A common dose estimate for acute toxicity is the LD50 (Lethal Dose 50%). This is a the LD50 (Lethal Dose 50%). This is a statistically derived dose at which 50% of the statistically derived dose at which 50% of the individuals will be expected to die. individuals will be expected to die.

ProteinsProteins• Made up of a specific
sequence of amino acids– Each protein has its own
specific number of amino acids and in its own unique order
• This sequence will lead to a specific shape that will give the protein its function– Ex. Enzymes, hormones
ProteinsProteins• Proteins have many
functions in the body• A key function is that they
act as chemical messengers– Many of the illegal drugs
cause their affect because they act as messengers

• These chemicals help reduce pain
Opiate ReceptorsOpiate Receptors
Three neurons engage in opiate action. When opiates bind to opiate receptors, a signal goes to the dopamine terminal (shown here as part of another neuron) to release dopamine. Dopamine binds to dopamine receptors, stimulating the post-synaptic cell and a positive emotional feeling

Analyzing Organic Analyzing Organic CompoundsCompounds
• Quality versus quantity– Quality identifies exactly what it is– Quantity may be important because
larger amounts of illegal substances may carry longer jail time
• Many times substances are in fact mixtures– Drug dealers may “cut” the drugs– This requires a different technique to
identify the substance
ChromatographyChromatography
• This technique has the ability to purify substances– It rips each component from
mixture and separates it single components
• Theory of chromatography– Chemical substances
partially escape into surroundings when:
• Dissolved in a liquid• Absorbed into a solid
Dissolved in liquid Dissolved on a solidDissolved on a solid
Gas chromatography TLC
Thin Layer Chromatography Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)(TLC)
• Separation of mixture is done by using a stationary solid phase (paper) and moving liquid phase
• Still based on solubility of each substance in the liquid
• Substances that are highly soluble move faster
Analyzing the TLC sampleAnalyzing the TLC sample• A measurement of how far
each component of a substance would then be taken– This will determine the RF value of
a substance– A substances RF value can be
used to HELP determine what it is– Not unique and other substances
may have same RF value
• A direct comparison can also be made by running a known sample versus and unknown

Gas ChromatographyGas Chromatography• Can separate substances because of
differences in solubility in a liquid– Force air to continuously move in one direction– Gas phase is moving phase, liquid phase is
stationary phase
• The chemical race– High solubility means it wants to stay in liquid– This makes the highly soluble substance move
slower
Objective:Objective:You will be able to explain how GC You will be able to explain how GC can be used for the quantitative and qualitative can be used for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of compounds.analysis of compounds.

Gas ChromatographyGas Chromatography• Uses a stationary liquid phase and a
moving gas phase • Can separate substances because of
differences in solubility in a liquid– High solubility means it wants to stay in
liquid
• The chemical race– Force air to continuously move in one
direction– Gas phase is moving phase, liquid phase is
stationary phase• Need large enough area so that the molecules can
be fully separated
The GC MachineThe GC Machine• Sample is placed into the injector and
travels through the column• Carrier gas is typically nitrogen or
helium• Column is heated to keep substance
being tested in a gaseous state• As each substance in the sample
emerges from the column, it enters a detector
• Here it is ionized by a flame that creates an electric signal
• This signal creates a chart called a chromatogram

Inert gas
Sample injected here
This is heated to keep sample in gas state
Creates a chromatogram
ChromatogramsChromatograms• Chromatograms are plotted based on
retention time• Usually has a series of peaks which
represents each substance from a mixture
• Qualitative analysis done by comparing retention time with known samples– Not 100% reliable because two
substances may have same retention time
• Quantitative analysis is done by viewing how high the peak is
Each peak represents a different substance from the mixture

chromatograms may also be able to identify substances by comparing to known standards.
Material must be a gas to Material must be a gas to enter GCenter GC
• Some material like paint, fibers and plastics cannot be readily dissolved into a liquid to go into the GC machine
• A technique called pyrolysis heats these materials so they decompose into gaseous materials– These materials are then injected into
the GC machine
