Drug-induced liver injury Flashcards
Only a minority of drugs have a predictable dose-dependent injury called
direct hepatotoxic drug reactions
Most DILI occurs unpredictably called _____, and not dependently entirely on the dose of the drug
idiosyncratic drug reactions
Usually the drug metabolism in the liver involves the conversion of _____/_____ compound which is difficult to excrete
hydrophobic lipophilic
The reactions that are performed by the liver enzymes can be described as ___ and ____ biotransformation reaction
phase 1
phase 2
this reaction involves oxidation of cytochrome p450 enzyme
Phase
this reaction involves the conjugation of drug itself or metabolites from phase 1 to the polar ligands such as sulfate, glutathione or glucorinic acid
Phase2
Phase one oxidative reaction convert the mildly toxic drug into ___ ____ ___ bc these oxidation reactions make the chemicals very reactive
highly toxic intermediate METABOLITE
In some case the phase 2 products can be also ___ toxic
highly
when the conjugation system is saturated or impaired highly toxic, highly reactive intermediates from phase one oxidation can ___, react with the cellular structure, and cause cellular damage.
accumulate
Drugs causes liver injury by 4 pathological mechanisms
Hepatocellular or cytotoxic injury
Cholestasis
Neoplasms
Vascular injury
this pathophysiologic mechanism, the drug has a direct toxic affect on the liver cells and causes the hepatocytes necrosis/apoptosis.
Hepatocellular or cytotoxic injury
this pathophysiologic mechanism many drugs interfere with normal bile flow from the liver. Drugs inhibit the transports on the canaliculus membrane and end up accumulating bile causing bile duct injury
Cholestasis
some drugs that cause Hepatocellular or cytotoxic injury (direct affect on liver cells causing necrosis/apoptosis)
are
ACE inhibitors acetaminophen beta-blockers proton pump inhibitors statins amoxicillin
some drugs that cause that result in cholestasis (interfere with normal bile flow of liver) are
ACE inhibitors amoxicillin infliximab mesalamine sex steroids
drugs that cause vascular injury are
Contraceptive steroids, anabolic steroids
this pathophysiologic mechanism leads to hepatic vein thrombosis, peliosis hepatis
Vascular injury
some drugs that cause that lead to neoplasms
Anabolic steroids
sex steroids
Many drugs interfere with the ____ at the cellular membrane causing membrane blebbing, rupture, cell lyses
cytoskeleton
Some drugs bind to the cellular protein like the heme contain portion of the cyt p450 enzymes, creating a nonfunctional enyme complexes also known as
adduct
can travel to the cell surface in vesicles and at the cellular membrane can serve as a target immunogen, which induces the attack by the tcell which in turn causes the production of various pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory cytokines
adduct
The central pro-inflammatory cytokines in TNFalpha and a pro-apoptic molecule is called
FAS ligand
Many drugs interfere with the ____ function which can cause accumulation of the ROS, innate damage, cellular death and the subsequent liver agents
mitochondrial
many agents are known to inhibit the transporters on the _____ membrane and interfere with the normal export of bile components into the bile canaliculus causing accumulation in the hepatocytes which lead to hepatocyte injury and liver damage
canaliculus
some mechanisms of DILI - drug induced liver injury are:
- inhibiting the transporters on the canaliculus membrane
- interfering with mitochondrial function
- binding to cellular proteins creating non-functional enzyme complex
