Cassia flask is a very useful tool for assay of cinnamylaldehyde cinnamylaldeh yde content of Cinnamon oil, because the Cinnamon oil without eugenol has higher density than the water.
231.
The prescriptions of the Pharmacopoeia have to be applied for the examination of drugs with pharmacopoeial quality, because the drugs with pharmacopoeial quality have to meet requirements the prescription of Pharmacopoeia in every respect.
232.
Volatile oils are the mixture of mono- and sesquiterpenes and phenyl-propane phenyl-propan e derivatives and they have pleasant odor so the volatile oils are used for covering up the unpleasant smells and tastes for this reason.
233.
The Myrtilli folium and fructus are used as antidiarrhoeal since the fruit has blackish blue color and a very pleasant tart taste.
234.
The hydrolisable tannins give precipitate with proteins and transform the hide into leather since the hydrolisable tannins give a blue complex with iron-III-chloride.
235.
Ergot contains no water soluble alkaloids therefore the Ergot extract is applied in migraine treating.
236.
Venoruton is a semisynthetic derivative of the routine therefore the Venoruton is used in treating of gout.
237.
The density of Cinnamon oil is higher than the water, if the main constituent the cinnamyl aldehyde is extracted the density of the volatile oil remains unchanged.
238.
The alkaloids of Cinchona bark are so strong basis that they can be quantified by acidimetry, so the Hungarian Pharmacopoeia Edition VII. prescribes the acidimetry for assay of alkaloid of Cinchona bark.
239.
Podophylli rhyzome contains lignan derivatives therefore the drug is used as antidiarrhoeal.
240.
The Ergot is the sclerotia of a fungus Claviceps purpurea therefore the drug is stored in a covered container on a humid place according to the prescription of PH. Hg. VII.
241.
The alkaloids are nitrogen free organic compounds which under the vegetation period attract the noxious insects to the plants.
242.
The volatile oils usually have components with unpleasant odor because the volatile oils occur together with fixed oils.
243.
Vegetable drugs containing saponins are used as compresses because saponins are accumulated in the roots of plants.
244.
Vegetable drugs, their decoctions and infusions are used as expectorants because saponins are desmosides of oleanolic acid and more rarely ursolic acid.
44
PHARMACOGNOSY
245.
Hippophaeae fructus contains citric acid therefore it is used as appetizing in diatetic teas.
246.
Starches can be dissolved in diluted methanol by heating because starch consists of branched α-amylose units.
247.
Nitrogen atom of true alkaloids is always part of the side chain, while nitrogen atom of pseudoalkaloids - derived from amino acids - is part of a hetercyclic ring.
248
Solanaceae leaf contamination in Althaeae folium can be distinguished by chemical reactions because both vegetable drugs contain alkaloids.
249.
Protoalkaloids are not synthetized from amino acids therefore their nitrogen atom is part of an aliphatic side chain.
250.
The true alkaloids as bases are soluble in organic solvents because they are nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds synthetised from amino acids.
251.
All the alkaloids are synthetized through the nitrogen metabolism because their precursors are the products of primary metabolism and related to the formation of nitrogen - heterocyclics.
252.
Belladonnae radix contamination in Althaeae radix can not be distinguished by microscopy because there are calcium oxalate microspheroidal crystals in Belladonnae radix.
253.
Conii fructus contamination in Anisi fructus is dangerous because Conii fructus does not contain essential oil.
254.
Adulteration of Tiliae flos with Tiliare argenteae flos can be distinguished by microscopy because both vegetable drugs contain mucilage.
255.
Ornithine is the precursor of scopolamine biosynthesis therefore scopolamine is not a pseudoalkaloid.
256.
Saponins and sapogenins can be separated by gel chromatography chromatograph y because their molecular mass are different.
257.
The powdered / comminuted vegetable drug contaminated with toxic plant parts has to be always eliminated because the toxic contamination can not be separated.
258.
Oleum ricini of pharmacopoeial quality is prepared by cold expression because this method is the most economic.
259.
Rosmarinic acid is a depside because it has no glycosidic hydroxyl group.
260.
Frangulae cortex has to be stored for a year before use because anthranoles are oxidized to the corresponding anthraquinones during storage and do not cause spasm.
45
PHARMACOGNOSY
261.
Scopolamine is a true alkaloid because the precursor amino acid in scopolamine biosynthesis is phenylalanine.
262.
The ricine toxalbumine is only dissolved in cold oil therefore Oleum ricini is prepared by cold expression.
263.
Solanaceae leaf contamination in Althaeae folium can not be distinguished by chemical reactions because both vegetable drugs contain alkaloids.
264.
Morphine can be separated from the associate alkaloids in alcaline medium (pH 9-9.5) because the associate alkaloids are dissolved as phenolates.
265.
Hungarian Pharmacopoeia Editio VII. does not control Sambucus ebulus L. (dwarf elder) adulteration in Sambucus niger L. because Sambucus ebulus L. is a toxic plant.
266.
Atropine and cocaine can not be distinguished by Vitali reaction because both alkaloids have ecgonine skeleton.
267.
Atropine and scopolamine can not be distinguished by Vitali reaction because both alkaloids have tropic acid in their structure.
