(IS, 4S)-4-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-l, .2, 3, 4- tetrahydro-N-metihyl-1-naphthalenamine, commonly known as Sertraline, is marketed in the form of its hydrochloride salt. Sertraline is used in the treatment of depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic disorder.UMMARY OF THE INVENTION. The present invention discloses a novel method for the preparation of racemic sertraline starting from the known tetralone and cis(+) sertraline hydrochloride form II from cis(+) sertraline mandelate.
The mitral valve (also known as the bicuspid valve or left atrioventricular valve) is a dual-flap (bi-from the Latin, meaning double, and mitral-from the Latin, meaning shaped like a mitre) valve in the heart that lies between the left atrium (LA) and the left ventricle (LV).
Normally, the mitral valve is the only bicuspid valve and this is situated between the heart's left atrium and left ventricle. Heart valves play a crucial role in ensuring the unidirectional flow of blood from the atrium to the ventricles, or from the ventricle to the aorta or pulmonary trunk.
