Whats the name of the salt compound used in the hypertension treatment medicine 'Norvasc' ?
I'm not helping you with your homework am I?
Amlodipine - an ionized compound that acts a calcium channel blocker, but only within the physiologic pH range pKa=8.6.
The chemical makeup of Norvasc
3-Ethyl-5-methyl (±)-2-[(2-aminoethoxy)methyl]- 4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate, monobenzenesulphonate
Kai could answer this too, he used to be involved in pharmaceutical research, prior to accepting another position.
Arsenic?
Arsenic is chemical element with the atomic number 33, not a compound. Arsenic compounds are not commonly used in medicines anymore, though Arsenic Trioxide is still used to treat the uncommon cancer acute promyelocytic leukemia.
