What's the difference between antipode and antipole?
Antipode
Definition:
(n.) One of the antipodes; anything exactly opposite.
Example Sentences:
(1) R-(+)-Nicotine is a substrate Km = 1.42 X 10(-5)M for an SAM-dependent guinea pig lung aromatic azaheterocycle N-methyltransferase, whereas S-(-)-nicotine acts as a competitive inhibitor (Ki = 6.25 X 10(-5)M) of the N-methylation of its antipode.
(2) The 5-HT depleting potency of (+)-MDMA was significantly greater than that of its (-)-antipode at 3 hr in PB pretreated, but not in SKF-525A pretreated animals.
(3) Potential in the Antipodes for production of unique and abundant fishery products is immense for both local and export markets.
(4) In general antipodals have maximum accumulation of physiologically active substances and intense activity of different enzymes.
(5) Since the transformation goes from the inactive to the pharmacologically active form, the (R)-enantiomer can be considered as a prodrug of its (S)-antipode.
(6) The determination of the enantiomeric composition of the excreted 2-phenylpropionic acid after a single oral dose indicated that the (R)-(-)-enantiomer given as such or in the racemate was inverted to its antipode, which strongly suggests that (S)-(+)-2-phenylpropionic acid is responsible for the inductive effects observed.
(7) The area under the concentration versus time curve values for the two enantiomers were approximately 10% higher for the (R)-antipode because of a slightly slower elimination of this compound.
(8) Both optical antipodes of the pivotal epoxy alcohol intermediate were prepared in 95% enantiomeric excess by the Sharpless epoxidation of a (Z)-allylic alcohol.
(9) Chiral analysis of the human renal epoxyeicosatrienoic acids shows the formation of 8,9-, 11,12- and 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids in a 1:1, 4:1 and 2:1 ratio of antipodes, respectively.
(10) The limit of determination for the L-antipode is ca.
(11) However, this stereoselectivity of action is not manifest in vivo, due to the thus-far-unique unidirectional metabolic inversion of the chiral centre from the inactive R(-)-isomers to the S(+)-antipodes.
(12) The summation of the results fully defines the overall stereochemistry of the coupled isomerization and cyclization of geranyl pyrophosphate to the antipodal pinenes.
(13) The Bernburg physician and pharmaceutist Bucholz became there for many years his consultee for questions of natural sciences; Gren, who also came from Bernburg, became the antipode in the dispute about problems of optics.
(14) 8a showed potent antifungal activity, while its antipode (+)-cis-2-ACPC (8b) had no activity.
(15) A novel approach to the optical resolution of racemic enones has been introduced by using the binding properties of the transport protein albumin, which chemically binds preferentially one antipode of some alpha, beta-unsaturated cyclic enones in a reversible manner.
(16) The model successfully: (1) explained the relative activity or inactivity of compounds such as cis- and trans-1-methyl-5-hydroxyl ATN derivatives and the corresponding cis- and trans-octohydrobenzo[f]quinolines; (2) predicted the more potent antipode of 2-aminoindan dopaminergic agonists; and (3) explained the structure--activity peculiarities of 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-N-alkylpiperidines in which the potency is increased for (3S)-isomers and decreased for (3R)-isomers when the N-alkyl group is greater than propyl.
(17) The three antipodal wave forms were displayed as a single 3-D Lissajous trajectory which contained four apices, corresponding to P40 (apex A), N70 (apex B), P100 (apex C) and N125 (apex D).
(18) Patch currents recorded at the soma cap, antipodal to the origin of the axon, and whole-cell currents were recorded simultaneously and normalized to membrane capacitance.
(19) Structures for such chirally symmetric organisms are outlined, as is the gradual decoupling of their integrated antipodal metabolisms upon an evolutionary progression from meso organism to racemic organism to racemate of organisms.
(20) A marked antipodal potency ratio was observed in strains TA100 and TA1535 when racemic and L-azidoalanine were compared.
Antipole
Definition:
(n.) The opposite pole; anything diametrically opposed.
Example Sentences:
(1) Intermediate contusions develop between the impact site and the antipole in the brain interior as a result of inertial stress propagation.
(2) This contrecoup lesion is produced by the brain impacting the skull, as well as the flattening of the skull against the brain at the antipole, from the presence of the solid table.
