Travoprost is a drug used to treat the build-up of pressure in the eye. It is administered as eye drops. HO CF3 Travoprost (pressure inside the eye, including glaucoma) a) Redraw the structure and incorporate suitable modifications or functional group(s) to: i) increase the polarity of the molecule ii) increase the lipophilicity of the molecule In each case, briefly explain what change(s) you have incorporated and the rationale behind your structural modification. b) Redraw the structure and identify 5 sites that could be targeted by metabolic enzymes, such as cytochrome P450s or transferases. Show two examples of structures arising from potential metabolic activity, using an enzyme or enzymes of Your choice,

Explain why all classes of low molecular weight amines are water soluble. O Low molecular weight amines are basic enough to form alkylammonium cations in water. Once such cation is formed, the solubility of amine drastically increases. O The polarity of low molecular weight amines is much greater than that of water, thus allowing the molecules of these amines to be freely distributed among molecules of water. O Low molecular weight amines are gases at STP and gases usually have high solubility in water. All amines can form hydrogen bonds with water. Low molecular weight amines have small aliphatic portions, thus the hydrogen bonds to water are strong enough to allow the amines to
