Read the following statements:
Statement I: Morphine is obtained by acetylation of Heroin.
Statement II: Cannabinoids are known for their effect on the cardiovascular system.
Which of the following options is correct with reference to these statements?
Statement I: Morphine is obtained by acetylation of Heroin.
Statement II: Cannabinoids are known for their effect on the cardiovascular system.
Which of the following options is correct with reference to these statements?
Show Hint
Understanding drug origins and effects supports informed therapeutic use.
- Both Statements I and II are correct.
- Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
- Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
- Both Statements I and II are incorrect.
The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
Statement I: "Morphine is obtained by acetylation of Heroin" - Incorrect. Heroin is produced by acetylation of morphine, not vice versa.
Statement II: "Cannabinoids affect cardiovascular system" - Correct. Cannabinoids, particularly THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), can affect the cardiovascular system. The effect varies and may include increased heart rate, changes in blood pressure, and potential risks for individuals with pre-existing heart conditions.
The correct evaluation is: (C) Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
Approach Solution -2
Statement I: Morphine is not obtained by acetylation of heroin. In fact, heroin (diacetylmorphine) is synthesized by acetylating morphine. Acetylation of morphine makes heroin more potent and lipophilic.
Statement II: Cannabinoids (compounds found in cannabis) primarily affect the nervous system, particularly by binding to cannabinoid receptors. They can influence pain, mood, and appetite, but they do not primarily affect the cardiovascular system.
Option (C) is correct because Statement I is incorrect, and Statement II is correct.
