Drug metabolism Flashcards
Processes that prevent continuous drug action
elimination/excreation
metabolism
Drug metabolites are usually more ________ then the drug ingested thus easliy excreated
poloar
most drugs enter the body _______ thus are difficult to excrete
lipophilic
In most cases metabolism will take active drug–>
inactive metabolite
A drug that is converted to active form by drug metabolizing enZ
prodrug
a prodrug is inactive until
metabolized
the more drugs we take the more at risk we are for
adverse affects
Drugs withdrawn from the market often d/t this reason
drug-drug interactions d/t drug metabolism
These guys do oxidation, reduction, dealkylation or hydrolysis
Phase I enZ
This enZ will often introdue or reaveal a functional group
Phase I enZ
Phase I enZ actions
oxidation, reduction, dealkylation or hyrolysis and introduce or reveal a functional group
These guys have conjugation of durg or durg metaboliet to endogenous substrate molecule
Phase II enZ
responsible for : Drug + conjugant–> Drug-conjugant
Phase II enZ
CYPs are examples of
Phase I enx
CYPs will often
make lipophilic drugs more soluble in water
These guys add large, polar conjugates to make drug super water soluble
phase II
Common location for drug metabolizing agents
portals of entry/exit
liver (HIGHEST)
GI, kidneys, lungs
Subcellularly where are the Phase I enZ located ?
In the SER microsomes
Subcellularly, where are phase II enZ located?
most are cytosilc
What venous system will take drugs to liver from the GI system
portal venous sytem
What drug administration is exposed to 1st pass effect
orally administered
Significant drug metabolism can occur before reaching general circulation d/t
first pass in intestines and liver
Drugs exposed to 1st pass will need _____ dose
higher
bioavialibty will ______ d/t first pass
lower F
F for IV administration
1 or 100%
What are two reasons for poor F
poor absorption or large first pass effect
Morphines’s F d/t first pass
.33
If i gave IV dose of 10 mg of morphine to relieve pain, what oral dose would i need to match that?
30 mg
Two key Phase I enZ
Cytochrome P450s = CYPs
Flavin-containing monooxygenases
Cytochrome P450s and Flavin-containing monooxygenases are examples of:
Phase I enZ
P450’s are anchored to:
outer face of ER
Core of P450’s
Fe
P450’s conjugate what to our substrates (drug)
O2 and we get S-OH +H20
P450 reductase use what to get the 2e- to add to our substrate?
NADPH –> NADP + 2e-
molecular ration of P450s per P450 reductase
10-20 P450s: 1 P450reductase
CYP stands for
cytochrome
CYP2B10: 2 stands for
gene family
CYP2B10: B stands for
Gene subfamliy
CYP2B10: 10 stands for
isoform
Human P450’s has _____ families
18
3 P450’s involved in drug metabolism
CYP1, CYP2, CYP3
There are _____ human P450 genes
with _____ of them involved in drug metabolism
57
15
Inidivudual differences in _____ result in big difference of catyltic activity and drub metabolism
isofrm
This CYP handles 50% of drug metabolism
CYP3A
CYP3A handles____ % drug metabolism
50
This cyp handles 25% drug metabolism
CYP2D6: DEPRESSENTS
