Barriers: Metabolism Flashcards
Sites of drug metabolism
-first pass: GI epithelium and liver
-systemic: in organs and blood stream
Classes of Metabolism
3 phases
Phase 1 of metabolism
of main compound
-ex: decarboxylases, oxygenase, deamidation
Phase 2 of metabolism
through addition, conjugation
ex: glucuronisation, sulfation
Phase 3 of metabolism
transport-multidrug resistance
Metabolism goals
-eliminate activity of drug
-make a compound more soluble until it cannot escape excretion
How to achieve Metabolism
-change shape to block binding to receptors
-change lipophilic character to hydrophilic for increased solubility
-increase molecule size to be cleared by bile or urine
-make more recognizable by efflux pumps
very lipophilic
-normally reside in fatty tissues
Phase 1 CYP (oxidation, reduction) enzymes
2D, 2C, 3A, 1A, 2B
Phase 2 conjugation enzymes
-SULT
-methyl transferase
-UGT
-NAT
PHase 3: Transporter (ABC, SLC) enzymes
-P-gp
-OATP1B1
Metabolism of tamoxifen SLIDE 42
TAM –(CYP3A4)–> NDM –(CYP2D6)–>4OH-NDM aka Endoxifen, active metabolite
PRODRUG
CYPs
-17 CYPs in humans
-grouped into families with around 40% amino acid homology
-70 mammalian CYPs
Cytochrome P450 family
-CYP3A4 major focus of phase 1 metabolism
-though CYP3A5 might metabolize what we though CYP3A4 did (similar isoforms)
Drug-Drug interactions
can alter drug elimination
-xenobiotics like grapefruit and orange juice
Nonlinear PK
leads to nonlinear TK
Rectum epithelia
-simple columnar (upper half)
-stratified squamous non-keratonized region transitions to strat squamous keratinized region (lower half near anal sphincter)
Absorption by surface area
- stomach
- jejunum
- cecum (way lower)
Role of stomach
-digest food and control its flow
-food reservoir
-food to fluid chyme for absorption
-pH protects against most bacteria, allows pepsin to function
Stomach
-fasting pH < 3
-fed pH 5 to 7
-30 min emptying half
-fasting state: 4 phases of emptying ending with Housekeeper wave
-fed state, no defined cycle
Stomach organization
-fundus
-body
-antrum
fundus of stomach
-upper
-contains gas
-produces contractions to move food
Body of stomach
-middle
-reservoir for food/fluids
Antrum of stomach
-lowest
-funnel shaped
-pyloric region
-controls flow to small intestine
Emptying cycle
-cycle of 4 phases
-eating stops the progression of the cycles
-starts over when stomach empties
Phase 1
-40-60 min no activity
Phase 2
-mixing contractions in stomach and small intestine
-40-60 min
Phase 3
-powerful contractions empty stomach
-peristalsis by small intestine
Phase 4
-contractions diminish
-stomach empty
Cold carbonated drinks
-rapidly induce emptying
