Does an increase in molecular weight speed up molecular movement?

no relation iz between molecular weight and movement which iz a function of temperature only.


Does low molecular weight heparin cross the placenta?

Standard heparin, an effective treatment for antepartum thromboembolic disease, is thought to be safe for the fetus since it does not cross the placenta. Recently, a number of low molecular weight heparins have been prepared which have been shown to produce less bleeding than standard heparin for an equivalent antithrombotic effect in experimental animals. These observations suggest that the low molecular weight heparins may also provide superior antithrombotic therapy in antepartum thromboembolic disease. However, it is not known whether the low molecular weight heparins cross the placenta. To determine this, we examined the pharmacokinetics of 125I-labelled standard heparin and a low molecular weight heparin, and their anticoagulant effects in mother and fetus, using a pregnant sheep model. Catheters were inserted into maternal and fetal femoral arteries at 108-119 d gestation (term: 147 d). 1-3 days later the mothers were given a bolus i.v. injection of 5000 anti-Xa units of 125I-labelled standard heparin or low molecular weight heparin, CY 222. Nine serial blood samples were collected over 4 h from both mother and fetus for measurements of radioactivity, anti-Xa activity (chromogenic) and activated partial thromboplastin times. When therapeutic levels of standard and CY 222 heparins were achieved in the mother, there was no detectable radioactivity or anticoagulant effect in the fetus. We conclude that standard heparin and the low molecular weight CY 222 do not cross the placenta in the pregnant sheep.

Why primary and secondary standard solutions are needed in analysis.?

Primary standards have some peculiar propertiesThey are nonsensitive to atmospheric oxygenThey have known formula and molecular weightThey are usually high molecular weight compoundsThey have a constant concentration /uniform composition for a long period of timeThey are powerful reactantsSecondary standards areInfluenced by atmosphere/environmentConcentration change over timeUsually powerful reactantsUsually cheap & easy to useZeryawkal Ergetie(Msc in pharmaceutical Analysis )


Why is non hygroscopic important for primary standard?

Then it is possible to measure accurately the weight of it, so you know exactly how many moles of the primary standard you have. When it would have been hygroscopic then your actual mass of the standard is lower than the measured, caused by the extra weight of water.
