  1. Oh, sorry.
  2. Don't Let's see you there.
  3. Uh, my doctor gave me this new medicine, and I'm
  4. not really sure what does.
  5. I had this knee surgery the other day, and it's
  6. been really, really sleepy and like, my stomach really hurts
  7. all the time on like, I'm having a lot of
  8. pain. Think it's called morphine?
  9. I don't know.
  10. So I did a little bit of research on it
  11. and just what I found out.
  12. So this is what morphine is.
  13. It's, Ah, molecule like this.
  14. And it has groups like oxygen at Benzene Ring.
  15. And it's a big molecule.
  16. Has, um, 17 carbons with the formula C 17, age
  17. 19, and 03 it's a natural substance.
  18. It's extracted from the plant pap ill, ill Ephraim and
  19. it's a natural plant alkaloid, and it creates an aesthetic
  20. effects on the body.
  21. And it was originally isolated in 18 06 by Certner.
  22. And there was other chemist before this that created things.
  23. But he was the first to isolate it itself.
  24. So it is not very soluble in water or other
  25. liquids, and it also has some street names, like God's
  26. drug M s or morpho.
  27. So some other qualities of morphine is that it weighs
  28. 285.34 g per mole, and it is a basic molecule
  29. of 8.5 on the Ph scale.
  30. And if you look at the structure over here, you
  31. could see that morphine is able to donate to the
  32. hydrogen. It's and it's able to accept four hydrogen and
  33. has five ranks with tertiary carbon, and it's linked to
  34. a tertiary amine group with two other nearby carbon atoms,
  35. and it is also an odorless and solid compound.
  36. So what does this drug dio?
  37. I'm just so confused, but I've learned so much so
  38. quickly. So this drug enters the blood stream and goes
  39. deliver to get detoxified, in which only about 50% of
  40. morphine will enter the central nervous system in which it
  41. will then bind to the opioid receptors in the brain.
  42. And then it creates these feelings of euphoria, which will
  43. create the sensation of pain relief.
  44. But it will not actually take the pain away.
  45. It will just create this feeling within the body.
  46. How are these receptors can also control other systems in
  47. the body, such as respiratory functions, and digestive systems, which
  48. can actually be kind of dangerous.
  49. So as I mentioned here, the main goal is for
  50. pain relief.
  51. So as I mentioned, my doctor would give me this
  52. medication because I had a surgery and I'm in a
  53. lot of pain.
  54. But there's other other side effects that could have happened
  55. due to me taking this medication like I'm constipated, I'm
  56. tired. I'm nauseous Any of these And respiratory depression can
  57. be very serious as the normal respiratory rate of 12
  58. to 20 can be lower and from if it's like
  59. eight or 10, you can start breathing slower and then
  60. eventually go into respiratory failure, and that's just not good
  61. at all.
  62. So why is it so dangerous, considering that morphine is
  63. an opioid and there is an opioid crisis within our
  64. country and globally?
  65. There is a very serious issue as addiction may develop
  66. and there's a tolerance that develops when you take this
  67. drug as you need Mawr and Mawr to get the
  68. same level of high of the drug to get the
  69. same effect.
  70. So if I was to be sweep prescribed by milligrams
  71. and I need to keep taking this to get pain
  72. relief the next time I would need 10 mg and
  73. then 12, etcetera, etcetera.
  74. Which creates a problem because then a kn addiction can
  75. form. The most scary part about addiction to morphine is
  76. that it's most commonly prescribed by doctors in which most
  77. people aren't planning to get addicted.
  78. Thio there painkillers after major surgery.
  79. Unfortunately, sometimes it happens, which is why you have to
  80. be closely monitored when you are taking morphine for pain.
  81. Relief. Very long Fancy name morphine is up there.
  82. I'm not going to try to say that, but the
  83. boiling point is 190 degrees, and the melting point is
  84. 255 degrees up.
  85. There's a molecule, but here is my built molecules from
  86. a bunch of different angles due to the structure of
  87. morphine. It can also be converted to other molecules such
  88. as coding, which is another opioid by changing the alcohol
  89. group Thio Meth OCS Group, which makes coding.
  90. And this is just a simple methylation, and that's how
  91. many molecules are converted and this gives you more drugs
  92. and more variation.
  93. So this is the end of my presentation.
  94. I hope everybody who watched this.
  95. If any of you are on here pretty watching any
  96. videos, I hope you enjoyed it, Dr MacDougal.
  97. Hope you enjoyed it.
  98. And this is my were excited Page.
  99. Right here.
  100. Right here.
  101. Very Christmas.
  102. Happy holidays.
