2.6 - Metabolism Flashcards
Biotransformation/ Chemical Change
Metabolism
Goal:
To convertdrugs into the following forms:
– Inactive
– Polar
– Non-toxic/ Less Toxic
– Easily excreted
Exceptions
- Prodrug
- Formation of Toxic Metabolites
- Active ➡️ Active
Inactive parent molecule metabolized to become active
Prodrug
Ex: Prodrugs
• ACEIs — EXCEPT - Captopril – Lisinopril – Enalaprilat IV • Clopidogrel • Dipivefrinn (EPI)
Formation of Toxic Metabolites
APAP ➡️ NAPQI
Active ➡️ Active
Diazepam ➡️ Oxazepam
Organs
- Liver — dominant
- Kidneys
- Plasma
- GIT
- Placenta
– For PO drugs
– Initial metabolism of drugs before enterig the syatemic circulation
First Pass Effect/ Pre-systemic Metabolism
GIT ➡️ Portal Circulation ➡️ Liver
Effect: ⬇️Oral Bioavailability
Ex: First Pass Metabolism
- Propranolol
- Opioids
- Catecholamines
- Felodipine
- Lidocaine
2 Phases of Metabolism
- Phase 1
* Phase 2
– Functionalizariin/ Asynthetic
Phase 1
Goal of Phase 1:
To add/ unmask FUNCTIONAL groups
Phase 1
- Oxidation
- Reduction
- Hydrolysis
– Dominant Phase 1
– 2 enzymes
Oxidation
2 Enzymes
- CYP Mediated
* Non CYP Mediated
CYP1A2
- Caffeine
- Acetaminophen
- Theophylline
CYP2C19
- PPIs
- Propranolol
- Clopidogrel
