Opioids are compounds derived from opium, which comes from the opium poppy. Although in reality, all poppies produce opoids, the drug "morphine", codeine as well as other opioid pain killers are typically derived from opium. A quick way to find or identify these compounds is to look for a six-membered ring containing a nitrogen. Often, if you see a six-membered ring with a nitrogen, you have some sort of an opoid or a modified synthetic pain killer. With that said, morphine and codeine are typically not injected or given orally in pure form. Instead, their salts are used, such as morphine sulfate or codeine phosphate. Why are the salts used or administered instead of the pure substances (or non-salt forms)? (I am not interested in drug names, but to have you answer the why of this question.)

1. Use the image provided to answer the question in detail: a) Two of the earliest drug molecules featured in Chapter 8 are Vicodin and Heroin, whose chemical structures are very similar. Both of these molecules contain an amine functional group and several rings. Indicate the number of aromatic rings in each structure, and identify the amine functional group in each molecule as primary, secondary, or tertiary.
The amines are organic weak bases which are nitrogen-containing. In the early days of organic chemistry, basic amines derived from natural sources were known as “vegetable alkali”, but they are now referred to as alkaloids. The study of alkaloids provided much of the growth of organic chemistry, phytochemistry and natural products chemistry. It remains a fascinating area of research. Please search for one naturally occurring alkaloid and provide the following: Name of the alkaloid and show its structure. Identify using arrows the polar bonds in the structure Species from where it was isolated What was the use of this alkaloid in plants (if any)? What are the pharmacological, medicinal, or environmental uses or applications of this alkaloid (if any)?
